Actually, I dont look at it as more expensive than ipad 2 because, when you pay for the price, you get both table and a notebook functionality with more usage hours due to the external battery pack

True, the money for the dock is worth the price since the dock is rather impressive. But if you only go for the tablet, why not just get an iPad2 (If one doesn't mind the OS)?

Yeah, if it was RM1750 with the keyboard, then it's still affordable.

My brother kept the ipad until the sealed box dusty. He got it as a gift and dun even bother to use it last year. We like ipad for the interface, but for advanced users' functionality and flexibility, nothing beats open source OS.

The only reason i will use ipad if the zinio digital magazines will not be developed for android. Let's see how Zinio's development and then i will decide.

ASUS Msia should really lower the price if they wanna compete with Ipad 2. The strategy worked in US.

Yea, I think final pricing should be lower if they really wanna compete.. Seems like iPad2 is still the winner in Malaysia.. Seriously no fight for rm1499 price range..

I think the person who imports the Transformer in and manages to sell it around iPad2 pricing will be laughing to the bank. Would do it myself but don't have enough funds for more than a few units. sad.gif

hmm, now that's bad for business...

a one-sided communication is going to fail, especially in social websites like FB...

i am really impressed with how businesses in Australia take advantage of FB to connect with their customers... take a look like Logitech Australia FB page...

That was during February this year. Lastly, my sister (in design industry) asked him for that 3G unit and she got it for FOC.

Being marketing manager is always good, you order 100 units of ipad for contests, you get yourself FOC unit.. haha (just an example)

Honeycomb UI is designed specifically for tablet to take advantage of the larger screen estate...
