The Ipad Killer

[Kentos]

Retina isn't old tech. I never said that. I should of clarified that they tend to put the shiny outer shell and the guts are "old" by PC standards. BTW does apple tv allow 1080p now?. cuz everyone else has for the last 3 years

Not sure, I never felt the need to stream stuff to my TV.

OK I may get strung up by my heals for saying this........but I just bought an Asus Transformer Pad TF300T. So far it is impressing the hell out of me. I am still learning all it can do but I am quite impressed with the power of the quad core processor and Ice Cream Sandwich.

I did a bit of work on it today, I was able to sync my work e-mail no problem. It edits Microsoft docs flawlessly with Polaris Office. I am going to work on connecting to the exchange server tomorrow night.

It is 32GB with a micro SD slot on the tablet, and since I bought the docking station as well that has a Macro SD slot. That is a lot of expandable memory. It has a full size USB slot on the docking station as well. It basically makes it a tablet netbook.

The Ipad killer may be a bit of a stretch but for a person like me who is not a big Apple fan, this has the makings of one hell of an Android tablet.

I would like to hear what some of the rest of you guys think.

Scott,
are you using it with the keyboard or just as a tablet?

Do you know if there are any good note taking apps, preferably something which would use a stylus so I can just scribble notes as I study?

I have the Keyboard and use it both ways. My favorite App for taking notes is SuperNote, you can type, you can write with your finger, you can write with your stylus. I love it.

Does it just save what you write as it is, or does it try to recognise what you've written and convert it into what it thinks you've written?

[BigFoot]

It puts on paper exactly what you write. As you are writing when you pause it transfers the words in a line on the notepad. It looks likes actual notes on a pad in your hand writing.

That sounds good. I'm going to order one at the end of August. Have the money saved already!

Posted from my iPad

i'll be posting like this shortly

we just pulled the trigger on the new ipad, so we'll see what all the fuss is about

we are not APPLE diehards, but have a couple iphones and youngest has iPod, so makes sense for the apps and music etc.

Finally ordered my Asus tablet, with keyboard.

I'm not interested in whether it's an Ipad killer or not (I think we all know it won't be!) but it looks like it has all I need....fingers crossed!

I think you will like it. iPad (which I have) or not, it is great to surf the Internet in the living room while the wife is watching the boob tube. I very rarely use the iMac for surfing anymore.

Only been playing with it for half an hour but I really like it so far. Works really well with Touchpad keyboard.
