QUOTE(shahz @ May 23 2011, 04:55 PM) USB devices are working perfectly. I was unable to use the USB mouse though - probably because this device is an engineering unit. I can confirm this once I get my own production unit though Good News!ASUS just called me up and they told me that they are seeking the approval from Taiwan for selling the keyboard at RM300 for the 150 users. They said that they are 90% confirmed and the chances are very high that you will be able to buy the keyboard at RM300 when they come in.  You mean those who are not under 150 facebook pre order list can't get RM 300 docking price ? What is happening ? Asus really mess up with the info and docking price. Should explain well enough on the price.

Not saying that. RM300 would be for the dock if you purchase a combo product. Since the keyboard is not in and the combo can't be combined, they are willing to sell the keyboard for RM300. Otherwise, it would be more than RM400.

sucks.. I dont think I'm in the list of 150. Funny, I added as part of 130 like that. With so many duplcates and comment, I should be part of the 150. Didnt get an email.. oh well. A very good reason for me to wait and compare Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 also. Lets see how...

Which mean only combo is applicable for RM 300 docking ? without docking it'd be RM 400 ? Why Asus didn't state out ? confusing customer ?

Great review as always shahz!  It's kind of a good thing that Asus Malaysia is trying to get approval to sell the keyboard dock to the top 150 for RM300 rather than the standard retail price. They already mucked up so badly with the countdown hype and pre-order so this way, small as it may be, seems reasonable enough. At least it would give me justification to stand in line for my Transformer.

how is the UI smoothness compare to Ipad2?
I like android but i cant deny that the Ipad2 UI is very smooth.. I've compare my desire HD scrolling smoothness with Iphone 4, even i flash custom rom and even overclock it, i still feel that the smoothness is not as smooth as iOS..

I always find this comparison amuzing, no offend but what UI does ipad or ipad 2 or ip4 have? Haha
U should compare ipads "UI" with androids Apps drawer cuz that's more relevant
