http://www.netbooknews.com The ASUS Eee Pad Transformer is essentially a netbook with a detachable screen. It has a 10.1″ IPS touch-screen sports a Android 3.0 operating system with an NVIDIA Tegra 2 processor. You will be able to rock out with Adobe Flash, smooth HD video conferencing and playback.
The netbook form factor is surprisingly optional as the docking station is an accessory. This option however turns the the Transformer into a full-fledged notebook with a full QWERTY keyboard for desktop use. The battery life is also extending battery life up to 16 hours. The front camera is 1.2-megapixel and rear 5-megapixel there is also a mini-HDMI port.
Expect it to run you $400- $700 this coming April.

@bigfisher42 I imagine it would handle an external USB 2.0 bluray drive, since it can also handle external hard drives. And if that’s the case, then yes, you would be able to go from the bluray drive, to the tablet, to a tv via HDMI.
Another (better) option is to get an internal blu-ray drive and install it on a desktop, connect that desktop to your network (preferably wired lan or wireless N), and you can stream to the Asus tablet anywhere in your wireless network range & to any hdmi tv.

@bigfisher42 Check …
@bigfisher42 Check out the video on youtube “Eee pad transformer home review Asus part II”, the guy explains the different video playback. AVI and MOV will definitely work with the stock asus video player, and as far as MKV he says it’s a software limitation, and that eventually there should be an Android app which will support that video type.

@mrhozer
Well, i think i’m almost totally convinced. Do you think that if i plug a Blu-Ray player, i’ll be able to read Blu-Ray on it? (then plug the computer to my TV in HDMI to read it on the TV?)

@BoxxyFan I kind of felt the same way about how awkward it was, especially when you compare it to the Nintendo or Xbox 360 E3 presentations. Who really cares though, the guy probably just learned English a week before the presentation… I doubt many people could learn Chinese, and give a presentation which fully appeals to their societies ideal of a proper presentation.

Awesome product. But this was a terrible presentation. Why couldn’t they get someone better to do it? This guy has no charisma, no charm. Stupid Asian.

@bigfisher42 Actually… I just came across an article which said there will be an optional 3G module built in, but it’s on a UK site… So hopefully there will be some 3G models when they release it, or shortly after

@WotTehPhok Lol… so true! I doubt Apple’s dominance will last much longer, especially once people begin to realize that Android is not only better, but doesn’t come with the Apple shackles.

@bigfisher42 But …
@bigfisher42 But don’t you WANT a larger “3G card” lol.
Well you don’t have many options if you want a tablet with built in 3G (pretty much ipad or xoom) , especially with a keyboard/touchpad attachment (though I have seen an aftermarket one for the ipad). You could get one of those 3G/4G bridge adapters, and connect to it via WiFi, but I’m guessing that might be too inconvenient for you as well lol.
And yes, I was talking about VNC, it’s always been a perfect alternative for me.
