I am currently in the market for a Android tablet and are busy doing my homework.  Originally I was considering the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 but over the last couple of days the ASUS EeePad Tranformer<\/a> caught my eye. It has an optional keyboard in which the tablet\/screen docks into.  This transforms the tablet basically into a netbook.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here is a Youtube video of it:<\/p>\n

You can also plug in a USB keyboard and mouse which is cool.<\/object><\/p>\n

What I do not like is that the USB ports sit on the keyboard dock.  It would have been cool if the USB ports would have been on the tablet itself so that one can add a keyboard and mouse without the dock.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Asus EeePad Transformer goes on sale next week in the US for $399 which is not bad.  Lets hope we see this here in SA at a reasonal price.  I would love to get my hands on one of these babies to review.  Asus SA, @asus_za<\/a>,<\/span> .. how about it?<\/span><\/p>\n
