This is a new device from Asus and its a good form factor. Lets see how it will do ? And in that pic its not broken it splits that way from the dock .. cool right!
The Asus Eee Pad Transformer is a thin and light tablet PC running the Android 3.0 (Honeycomb) operating system. This is closely related to the Asus Eee Pad Slider, but has a separate keyboard built into a docking station that extends the battery life to up to 12 hours.
They are otherwise the same, with a 10.1 inch touch and pressure sensitive display that uses 1280x800 pixels. The NVIDIA Tegra 2 GPU is capable of displaying video in full 1080p HD quality. Wireless connectivity is handled through a standard Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connection with EDR. USB 2.0 wired connections are possible for easy file transfers, and a mini-HDMI port is also available for display of the screen contents on a TV or monitor.

What I like
Incredible value at $400
Innovative keyboard dock transforms tablet into laptop/netbook But should have also had windows 7 on it.
10.1" WXGA IPS touch-screen display (1280x800) - beautiful quality, not unlike the iPad (impressive colours, nice off-angle viewing)
Android 3.0 Honeycomb OS, Its a great OS for tablets.
Nvidia Tegra 2 CPU at 1GHz (dual-core)
mini-HDMI output - you know we need that!
1.2MP webcam with microphone good for video calls.
1GB LPDDR2 memory- good enough for a device with Android 3.0
what I dint like
plastic construction (both the tablet and keyboard) Could have used metal trimming or something to make it feel better.
glossy display reflects a lot of light, might pick up and display fingerprints and not good for viewing in the sun
Asus really needs to start to put a new cooler name for its devices.
Well this is a good device and the screen is very good but I wish Asus had made the build quality a little better. Still This device has a lot to offer and has a very good screen . Can even beat the iPad 2 in that matter. ( but it seems every tablet can do that)
