<html><head></head><body bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><div>Someone brought the Transformer 2 to our last NSCoder night. It was impressive, and quite fast compared to the other Android tablets that were there. If I were going to write an Android-tablet app and needed an Android tablet to test with I'd not hesitate to purchase it. That would, however, be my only use for it ATM.</div><div><br></div><div>We have iPad's (my wife and myself) and love them. In-fact I just ordered two of the new ones to replace ours. She uses hers for everything, hardly ever uses her laptop. I use mine for everything except writing code. If I've got to do development, graphic design, server maintenance (term/ssh), whatever, I will generally use a laptop or workstation (multi-monitors++). I find creating a lot of content on the tablets to be more difficult then a good laptop. But each iteration of tablet devices and their OS's seems to lessen that.</div><div><br></div><div>Shane</div><div><br>Sent from my iPad</div><div><br>On Mar 10, 2012, at 11:31 AM, Travis Hines <<a href="mailto:mthines@gmail.com">mthines@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><div></div><blockquote type="cite"><div><p>I have the asus Transformer with the dock, and I love it. I got a heck of a deal on it for black friday last year, so I can't speak to the typical cost of them; I spent less than 400 for the tablet and dock. The transformer 2 is out as well, so I also can't speak to the availability of the original.</p>
<p>I use the tablet for web surfing, reading (love the kindle app), gaming, and some videos. I have netflix (for now) for streaming video, and upnplay to connect to my mediatomb server internally. Both work very well and I could connect the tablet to my tv if it didn't already have the same capabilities.</p>
<p>Another advantage of this tablet is the storage expansion abilities. The tablet itself has a micro SD slot to supplement the included 16GB. The dock also has an SD slot as well as two usb ports. </p>
