On the subject of the Vox, while I am a bit of a techy at 70 years old I do not have the patience I used to have. So I am holding out on buying a Vox until I know that 95% of the time it will do what I expect of it. I also am waiting for the Transformer Prime and it will be either the Vox or the Prime - my Sweetness and Light says I can only have one of them
Whichever it is, I know that my first adventure into the Android world will be fun and hopefully not too challenging
I was one of the early explorers who used OS/2 and what I see I this list is the same adventuresome type folks who I admired so much when I was going against the flow with OS/2. Keep up the good work folks because you are taking old guys like me by the hand into a new endeavour.
Thanks for helping us,

Hi prsmith! I'm having a good afternoon, drinking coffee and hanging out with some very interesting people here....from all walks and geographical areas of Life.
I too was thinking about that Asus Trans Prime. I got a Vox, just on a hunch that being a dedicated eReader, with a little android tab on the side...it would better meet my wish of eReader first, tab/net functions second. I have not been disappointed. In fact, on another post, I joked about getting a 7 inch form factor and not realizing at the time of purchase, that it was EXACTLY what I wanted/needed. I can't tell you how many times I have been on the road, and taking a break at the OnRoute sites along the highway 401(Ontario)...that persons have come up to me and asked about that 'small tablet' I was using. Most, believe it or not...want to migrate down from an iPad 2 or another 10 inch platform, to something as comfortable to hold in the palms of your hand, as they have observed me doing. This is my first tablet 'anything' and really, as it stands now, I have no problems with any net site I visit, to have the Vox adjust and reformat the viewed page/post to a comfortable font size. Never! Of course...reading a book or mag from it is an absolute pleasure. So...for the most part, I am going to invest the $500.00 plus HST that I would have spent on a Prime...and put it into books-for-the-mind. If Kobo ports to I.C.S....than this Vox will be the platform of choice until it dies a natural death. I hope that won't be for a long time.....
Cheers!
