I think i just fell in love with this thing.
I actually was thinking of getting iPad 2 or 3(whenever it gets released), but now i have definetely changed my mind.

Something tells me that the Eee Pad Transformer is going to have a very, very large development community. This is a great characteristic, and just one more reason to get this device.

I'm also hoping that Asus sticks to its PC heritage and keeps the bootloader unlocked for the freedom to install what you want on the hardware.

Granted. But nothing annoys people more than wanting a new toy and being unable to get it. The WII was on sale at may locations and sold out hundreds of thousands of units over several weeks. I have seen this on one site and it sold out in minutes with no word on when the next production run will be. Could be weeks/months and technology marches on.

Yep.
First i was not really interested about this because i just saw poorly made second rank 3.0 tablet with great idea that i really want, but no doubt done bad. It being Asus i maybe should have looked second time but my eyes where already focused to the tab 10.1.

But just seeing that video i linked here earlier made me think very differently. HW wise they have actually done amazing job and actually given some thought to the keyboard dock rather than it just being sloppy afterthought.

People over at xda demanded own section for transformer and it's already very very active. I got good feeling like you that this might just be on the top 2 with 10.1 as far as the community goes.

Well in Canada its not that popular and since they already ordered some from the US warehouse , I'm sure I will get it two weeks :)

If that's the case the value of this product goes even higher. Windows 8 will support ARM CPUs I dont see any reason not run it on this thing

As for the docking station afaik its $150 not $200 :)

I am pretty interested with the Eee transformer (now I have no interest for Atrix at all).

However, I have few questions. It will be great if somebody got it and able to answer. :)

1) When it is plugged into monitor , what resolution it can be?

2) Can it run in dual screen monitor when plugged into external monitor?

3) If I plugged into the netbook dock . Them connected to external monitor and usb keyboard , can I fold it ?

Thanks.

When the Transformer becomes available in the US again for the $399 or $499 price, please post the info on this thread.

I read on XDA that some people that ordered from amazon are VERY SLOWLY starting to get their orders delivered.
