    Shame it's wasted on Andriod. I'll wait for the new Windows versions coming next year.

    Excellent review, thanks.

    I'm almost certain that I'll be getting the Transformer version next month (30th birthday, eep).

    The Windows versions need a bit longer to work on their battery lives.

    Interesting, nearly as tempting as a netbook but not quite good enough for me.

    I know you guys don't often review this type of thing, but there's missing information - does it charge using a standard micro-usb port, does the full size usb support thumb drives (is it powered so you can plug 2.5 usb hard discs), does the HDMI out work and is the cable to standard HDMI included...

    I'm just saying...

    Isn't Tegra 3's launch (announcement?) November 9th? And with it, the Asus Transformer Prime? Would make more sense I think than this... especially since I've never had good experiences with 'slider' anythings - they're always more vulnerable than more traditional versions.

    It's a shame it wasn't reviewed with 3.2 installed. It's available on the website.

    Interesting, but just like most tablets, they really need to work on that price.

    Ooh, Asus have invented me a tablet. In a year when its half the price second hand it will hopefully replace my Motorola Dext (Cliq in America). Any word on an ICS update or will it need updated for that?
