So that's my Asus tablet over there. Had it now a couple of months. First tablet I've had and first device I've had running any flavor of Android. Just a couple of thoughts:
-Its got freaking amazing battery life
-I use it so much for note-taking that I've almost quit writing in my Moleskine (lil sad about that. Actually like the act of writing/drawing and tablets don't even get close to that yet)
-Funny that I immediately strapped a keyboard to it. Makes text entry a breeze but also kills the ability to treat it like a tablet. Humans are weird.
-The Android market REALLY needs to step up the number of apps optimized for the tablet. Apple is killing them here.
-The price point is spot on. Judas that iPad is expensive. Might as well get a laptop. After my experience with this tablet I keep wondering if I could justify the cost of the iPad and an iPhone.
-I love the form factor...thin...light...but I do miss the full-featured nature of a laptop running a full-on OS.
-This is awesome for reading...better Kindle than the Kindle
-I'm still figuring out my way around the OS
-I do not have 3G on this model so at my office, w/ no WiFi, this feels really disconnected in a way that a laptop never really did. This really is a creature of the 'net.
-I am feeling the pains of leaving Apple's Walled Garden...looking at apps that run on both and thinking "I already paid for this once.." ....my music is still 'over there'.....
Anyway I think the idea is - have a firm idea in mind for what you want to use a tablet for...I think I've used a laptop for so long, I'm going through some kind of transition (first joker to start the "laptop natives" and "tablet immigrants" meme is gonna get it!) ....I think browsers and tablet/phone OSs still have a way to go before they replace a full OS of any flavor.
