Your right, a competitively priced tablet would open the Android market up tablet wise and hopefully make devs. optimize their apps for tablets. I know apple did it with a $500 plus priced tablet but I just don’t think Android can do it at those prices. Which is why a cheaper tablet would open the door for those people out their that think of a tablet as something neat to have but don’t want to drop bookoo bucks on one. The tablet market does not start and end with apples ipad, their is so much money yet to be made if someone can get it right. I hope to see this succeed, this could be a game changer. Similarly to the kindle fire but that does not have google play store on it by default. The Play Market has the most to gain from something like this. Lets all hope this does well so we can enjoy an even better market place.

There may have been a few issues, all of which they worked to address if possible, and although some of the problems could be a major issue (power button issue) I wouldn’t go as far as saying that ASUS screwed either up. The Transformer series is among the best selling, most popular and Dev Friendly android tablets out there at this time. I do hope that they take the time to ensure there are no crippling issues and that the construction is sound, I just dislike it when people bash an amazing device for a minor issue. Just like these people that say the gNex is a horrible phone… anyway, I do hope its polished, but have a lot of faith in ASUS, Ive grown to love their products, Thanks

you would be doing the “people on this site” a favor if you would just take your posts elsewhere. You are entitled to your opinion. Hell even entitled to trolling if you so desire, but we are not entitled to read about or care about the nonsense you are spewing. Your implication that the “people on this site” are lacking in intelligence is a blatant insult and I doubt you could fathom some of the intricacies that I ponder at any given moment, not to mention the brilliance of this site’s editors and the many devs, themers and android power users that use this site. In some ways apple is a more user friendly system, but for those of us that don’t need simplicity or things set to work in one way and only one way, Android is a godsend and the ONLY way for us to go as power users. You have it all wrong, it is not that us “people on this site” need anything explained or laid out. We simply won’t acknowledge trolling. Go away or be polite and relevant with your opinions. Many thanks.

No, not on nightlies or stable, have to revert to webOS for that.

Fire sales are good. Also, the Touchpad has CM9 nightlies, and a pretty stable RC.

When does one need 4G on a tablet? If I need internet on the go, I have my Bionic (and could use it with a $50 tether plan complete with 6GB of data.)

I’ve had 1 original, 2 slim 2000 and 3000 cores, what’s this about dead pixels? (I mostly noticed the disk drive tended to break down fairly quick.)

The HP touchpad is pretty solid after you throw CM9 on it.

Good. Let Moto make the Nexus tablet (with accompanying phone). {{-_-}}

And people comparing the build quality to that of a McDonald’s Happy Meal toy.

I agree with what you’re saying, even if you do seem to believe that apostrophes are required to make words plural.

(apostrophe’s are required to make word’s plural)

If they can manage to squeeze it down to $99 and/or $149, their only worry will be trying to keep the thing in stock.
