^ and THAT'S the exact reason why the OEM keyboard is so much better.

^ Good point. iPads are consumption-orientated....that's because that is how Apple framed it all in their iTunes-iPad-iPhone-iPod ecosystem. Awesome business strategy if you ask me.
The Honeycomb OS is targeted towards a totally different type of user.

^ As someone who is personally starting to develop for Honeycomb, I see lots of potential in developing for Honeycomb tablets. Honestly, Honeycomb had only been released for a few months. It's easy to forget that iOS has been on the market for 4 years now...if they didn't optimize the OS graphically by now, shame on Apple. Almost no OS manufacturer has perfected their OS in the first go, so I see no difference between Honeycomb and iOS. Also, Google is locking down on their hardware requirements for Honeycomb tablets, so it will make harnessing the processing power much better than previously in other Android iterations.
Anyways, this thread is about the Asus Transformer. No point in bashing it with Apple-trolling.
