Asus Transformer Vs. Ipad 2
 

which one would you get?

none... Samsung Galaxy tab 3g ;)

I got an Ipad2. Love it. But I've had a play with the iconia a500 the other day, pretty nice out of the Android tablets.

iPad 2 still blows all other tablets out of the water without question. Even with all the shortcomings that it might have, it's by far the best and most responsive of all the other tablets.

also yes... Android rulez!

I got the asus transformer after playing with an ipad2 for a few hours, ipad2 is slick.

Asus transformer has had no issues for me, runs flash (which is helpful for some of the work I use) and with the numerous inputs and added battery life, keyboard etc etc i can't recommend it highly enough!

I've got a transformer too. I highly recommend it too.
- Battery life
- Expandable memory
- docking station
- Flash
- NO ITUNES!!! (awesome feature)
- and it's a few hundred $ cheaper

Transformer of course :pimp

good point :thumbsup

Transformer is really nice if you want a tablet. My wife just got one after comparing the ipad and the transformer. She had a good point; why pay more for less functionality?

Duh.

from amazon:

I'm typing this review on the A500 now. I was deciding between an Ipad2 (and had actually purchased one), an Asus Transformer, and the A500. I became frustrated with the limitations of the Ipad 2, and once it became clear that the Asus Tranformer wouldn't have adequate stock for weeks, I decided to give the A500 a try. No regrets, and I ended up returning the Ipad2.

Why this is better than an I pad 2 -
- Micro SD card slot gives this all the memory you practically need with just a 16 gb model. Cards are cheap - you can get a 32 gb card for $50. No card slot on the I pad 2.
- USB port makes file transferring easy. You can plug in external flash drives or a USB keyboard. Yes, it has a USB host port so it can externally power or charge devices through the port. No USB on the I pad 2 without buying a $30 adapter.
-HDMI port - easy projection to your HDTV. The A500 screen has about the same aspect ratio as most HDTVs, so you will be able to take full advantage of the area on your HDTV. With the Ipad2, you need a separate $39 adapter for this, plus the IPad 2 screen is a different aspect ratio than most HDTVs.
-Android Honeycomb is way better than Apple iOS. It's much more customizable and supports true multitasking. Yes, iOS has a simpler, dumber interface that your grandma can use, but for me it is too simple and limited. Plus, with Honeycomb you are not chained to using ITunes to manage your content. You can just plug it into the USB port of your PC and manage files like you would any external USB drive.
-If you use Google applications like Gmail, Picasa, Docs, Maps, Youtube, etc., the integration is excellent. You log in with your Gmail account and all your Google data is synched to the device within minutes.

Don't believe the reviews about lack on apps for Honeycomb or frequent crashes. I have had almost no issues in a week of use. Most of the apps for Android smartphones I tried work fine and there are over 65,000 of them now. The Android market is better than the Apple market because there are a lot more free apps.

Because of the USB port this is a better value than the Transformer too, which doesn't have USB port without the separate docking station.

This is a fast, powerful tablet, great screen, long battery life (I'm getting two days with normal use). A good value.

Ditto on this one. Apple is just killing it with iPad2, and having tested out a few other tablets, it's by far and away the best one.

the transformer sounds good and of course has some obvious advantages (keyboard dock, flash, usb, SD card, no itunes, etc) but having had both i have to say ipad2 all the way.

the transformer's stock browser constantly crashes, even while using googles own sites like gmail. when it restarts it doesn't remember any of the tabs you had open. the onscreen keyboard input is abysmal, it's very laggy most of the time to the point that it's almost unusable. it's also awkwardly sized (stretched out) and noticeably heavier than the ipad. androids app store for honeycomb also leaves a lot to be desired.

i have an android phone and on paper prefer everything android, but in reality the ipad2 shits all over the transformer. :2 cents:

Ipad 2 is nice and light, and after holding it for a while using it, its a huge difference.

Apps are great, and integration is amazing with my phone.

If you have an iphone, ipad is the way to go, if you have an android phone, then an android pad might be the way to go.

iOS 5 is bringing a bunch of new features to ipad soon as well.

I own an Asus Transformer and love it. I've never seen an Ipad so I can't say which is better.
