No guessing which I would buy if I was in the market for one of these devices.

Alternative would be Acer Iconia a500 at Staples for $300, a500 has full size USB connector so you can connect common storage devices to move content back and forth or use common USB keyboard if you want to type. I have an a500 (about a week now) and it is pretty good, has a great display, weighs pretty close to a Kindle DX. Both Transformer and a500/a100 have micro SD card slot for additional storage, Fire does not have this (neither does iPad1/2). Both Transformer and a500/a100 have micro USB host port so that you can use cheap and common micro to full size USB cable to connect additional storage devices, iPad does not (Fire probably has one but not sure). a500 has multi-touch screen, seems to work as well as iPad that my co-worker owns.
It may not have a micro SD slot but it can access external storage. Both the ipad & kindle fire. I just did this the other night with the Kingston wi-drive, on both devices. Ugh, misconceptions.
