    I was going to get myself an iPad, but I had a look at them and although they are a bit more solid and have a great screen the keyboard dock, microSD slot and 32GB vs 16GB for the same price swung me in favour of the Asus Transformer (TF300), along with the fact that it's android so basically the same apps as I already have on my phone.

    So far I'm impressed, the keyboard basically turns it into a miniature laptop and I just discovered it has an extra full size SD slot in there as well so you can really go town on the extra storage. I'd actually go so far as to say that for a lot of stuff it could replace a "proper" laptop (as long as you don't do a *lot* of typing)

    While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

    I did have the prime but the wifi wasn't up to scratch

    There's a few threads about them in Technical

        only real difference is an aluminium body, gorilla glass and the IPS screen

        but then there is also the PadFone which should be out in a couple of months
