[Eee Pad Transformer General] goodintentions:
Speaking like a true ipad user. Apple provides you with safari and you're stuck with it. Safari appears fast and efficient because apple solved (or gave the illusion of being solved) the incompatibility issues by not showing all the contents on a webpage.

In android, we have this thing called choice. For instance, opera mobile has a built in hw accelerator so that everything works fast and smooth while all contents are shown. There are also a variety of other browsers to choose from.

But since you are one of those who are hardcore about using the stock browser, I highly recommend the ipad.

And yet I've been typing reports for my job on these office apps for months now. I've found that nothing in life is perfect. But if one is determined one can make anything work. For me, it's worked out perfectly.

That said, if you want multi-windowed screens, I highly recommend the ipad. Since the ipad is perfect in every way, surely you can open multiple windows at once.

This just in, the TF honest to god recognizes NTFS.

But I highly recommend you get the ipad. Since it's perfect in every way, surely it can read files larger than 4gb.

Why on earth didn't you just get a laptop? If you want the TF functionalities to be exactly like a laptop, why not just get a laptop?

I don't understand this attitude. One of my friends last year went out and bought a motorcycle. He never once complained that he couldn't do with his motorcycle what he could with his car. Why, then, on zeus's green earth would anyone go out and buy a tablet and expect it to act like a laptop?

If battery life is this important to you, why not just get the ipad? I am not a fanboy of anything. I go with what works for me. You should go with what works for you, too.

This sticking with the team mentality makes no sense to me. If you hate android or find it not suit what you need, then get an iOS device already. No need to stay here and ***** about it.

Apple has done certain things that I find ethically questionable. For example, in any other system (windows, linux, android, etc.) when something crashes you would get an error message. In the case of android, you would get a force close message.

Apple system is the only system that doesn't tell you something bad just occurred. The iphones and ipads crash just as often as everything else. But they never display an error message, giving the illusion that nothing has happened. One moment you're in an app. The next you're back at your home screen. To the average iJoe iSchmoe, no error message = nothing bad happened.

I wouldn't be surprised if apple also made their battery indicator with the same kind of deception in mind.

Added by edit.

Another ethical issue I have with apple is they've stolen open source features and calling it "new and innovative". The lies in their ad campaign (which they spend about a quarter of a billion USD each year on) flies so well among iFanboys that I've already encountered several iphone users who tried to brag to me about these "new and innovative" features like the notification bar... I mean notification center and OTA updates. These guys honest to god didn't know we've been using these features for years. At least one of them honest to god thought my notification bar was a ripoff of their new iOS 5.

The sad thing is history has shown us that if you repeat a lie enough times later generations will believe it.
