Additional
My thoughtsAsus transformer also comes with some nice preloaded app. One of them is an office application called Polaris (word processor, spread sheet, and presentation). This can be use with the optional dock. Great for school work and taking notes. Polaris is not as powerful as the MS office, but it will be enough for most school work and note taking. The transformer also include a remote desktop applications which allows you to connect to your desktop remotely. Both sound and video will be streamed from desktop to your tablet.Responsive screen and very smooth animation. Lots of applications. I wish they have flash support.Lighter, Thinner and faster than the Ipad 1. Still no Flash support.
