honestly, i dun see anything as major issues... perhaps you do.

if you do... maybe you can list your concerns here for us to see? that way, you can also decide objectively if its an issue or non issue.

for most of us, its a non-issue and we're happy to have our freedom to do what we want and not be dictated. it's something that we just can't put a value on...

well, if u are choosing between iPad 2 and this, i would need to ask, what is your main priority? if u just want games, frankly say, Android are still catching up on that, but new games on major game distro already have the same game on both iOS and Android, but still, i would say more higher quality game(in graphics and variants) are in iOS so far. as for functionality, i think iPad 2 wont be beating the TF after all, TF plays more video formats out of the box, and for most default softwares, video player, browser, music player, there are some other, better version of them on the market to improve the usage experience, however, that actually needs more digging and research. If u want something simple out of the box and easy to use, and don mind the lacking of customization and some other features, i guess iPad might be more suited for u , and as for TF, it's more suited for ppl who willing to spend some time to explore, and experiment, starters in android or not, take ur time to learn about it and discover new stuff that brings even better usage experience...

So far i havent heard of keyboard keys not working, maybe u mean key mapping issue as some other forumer mention, that was just caused by the locale setting.  Imbalance speaker is caused by one of the config file, just actually editing the file will solve that issue already, non hardware related
Battery drain is an issue with u dock ur tablet with the keyboard for some people, if u are afraid of that, just unplug it.
as for camera apps not working... i think it was some early version of custom rom and we are discussing it here, no one have any broken camera apps so far... as for frequent crashes, there are 2 reasons now. first, the apps itself. some applications are still rather buggy publish, and easily just crash and force close when u hit some certain steps, nothing we can do about it, apart from waiting for the devs to fix it. Second, Android 3.x, Honeycomb is now for tablet only and it is somewhat different from gingerbread. Most application are build for gingerbread, so we cannot expect them to run perfectly on Honeycomb. Again, nothing we can do apart from waiting for Ice Cream Sandwich update to come.

as for where to get it.. apart from avoid Evernew Mid Valley, i guess the rest of the place is cool(Pyramid Evernew is ok btw, friendly staffs)

same too, i also have iPhone but i felt rather bored with the UI and all even after jailbroken, the reason i gotten this is also same as u, i wanna give android a try, and this tablet is worth its price so far...
btw, i'll try PSX emulator tonight too, just remembered that

got the transformer. thankfully am one of the lucky ones to root it even on a b70 model so that i can fix the stupid left speaker softer problem. minor light bleed noticed.

[ A ] Graphics
1. Video Capability.. am saddened that there are no good media player out there for the android honeycomb. mkv and high profile encodes play choppily/terribly whereas on the ipad2 it runs absolutely fine. yes, i've tried all the main players: vplayer, moboplayer, diceplayer & rockplayer. even then, the media players don't support all formats so you're stuck with having to install ALL of them and trying one by one to see which is the best for the particular media file.
2. Image Viewer/Playback.. again saddened by the offering of the asus transformer/tegra2. Well, at least there is a decent image viewer provided by ASUS compared to the other honeycomb releases. nonetheless, it pales in comparison to the speed for loading and manipulating high definition images (large files) compared to the ipad2.

[ B ] Processor
still quite small amount of apps tailored for the android honeycomb with tegra2 processors and already asus is planning to be first to release a tablet that will come out with the new nvidia quad processor (kal-el) soon sometime this year. this gives very little incentive for android developers to produce optimized codes to perform best based on the tegra2 cause seriously, the android honeycomb was just release early this year only.

[ C ] Sound
sound is also quite a big negative for the asus transformer both speaker wise and output jack.

1. firstly the speaker placement is bad being placed at the bottom of the screen whereby it is mostly covered where you spend most of the view time.
2. next, the default max sound volume is abysmally low. if you're in a slightly crowded environment, you won't be able to hear anything from the tablet. even if you do fix/change it via apps, prepare to run yourself into blown speakers as reported by other users.
3. think the speaker output jack will be better? nope, it has the same low max volume that isn't allowed to be changed by the user.
because of all the above, it is quite frustrating to be an android honeycomb with tegra2 owner

my transformer stuck at asus logo for hours. wat should i do. yesterday was fine, suddenly this morning i try to power it on , it stuck at the asus logo for hours.

Solution: i read at xda forum that the only thing to do is wipe data and thats wat i do. damn need to install again
the cause: at xda they say some app will cause this thing. i only dwld the dual battery widget yesterday. is dual battery widget the problem?

PC USB charging is very slow cause it only able to pump 500mA where it's charger pumps 2100mA that's 4x faster process. I've tried 1000mA in which it takes about 10 minutes to charge one percent.

Those who suffer light bleed & shy speaker should seek replacement or RMA it. It might not beat iPad2 speaker loudness but you enjoy stereo effect.

Btw Eee pad slider has release, I found this transformer is way better. What's your take?

if i m not mistaken, the TF101 is already 1 yr old.

update1:
my bad... less than 9mths old. from wikipedia:
