ASUS's new Transformer tablet looks very impressive.
10.1 inch 1280x800 Super IPS+ display
Android 3.2
Nvidia Tegra 3 quad core
1GB memory
32 or 64GB storage
8MP back, 1.2MP front cameras
mini HDMI
micro SD
12 hour battery
8.3mm thick
586 grams
silver or black aluminum bodies
$500 for 32GB model
$600 for 64GB model
Launches in December
It's thinner and lighter than both the iPad 2 and Galaxy Tab 10.1. And really nice specs. Looks good too.
I don't quite understand the logic of launching with Android 3.2. Especially when the original Transformer is getting Android 4 in December? But hopefully an Android 4 update would be coming soon after launch. One good thing about ASUS is they had been pretty quick with updates on the original Transformer.
There is no cheaper 16GB model this time, kinda odd.
Overall though, looks amazing.

I like the keyboard you can attach to it for easy typing, as well as greatly extended battery life.

I was going to get this or a Galaxy Nexus phone. Looks like ASUS gets my money. Sorry Verizon/Samsung, too slow. |

Does this have any ability to connect to verizon (or a similar isp) ? I don't have a tablet (yet)...but can't fathom the inability to connect to traditional internet sources.

Looks nice. I might get this for my wife for Christmas instead of a laptop.
One question though, does Flash work on Android devices? If Flash doesn't work or will be problematic I'll have to go with the laptop.

It works for Android 2.2 to 3.2.
Android 4.0 does not yet have Flash support. It's waiting for an update from Adobe, but should have it soon enough.
