[Eee Pad Transformer General] goodintentions:
I don't know about this.

You're not making any sense here. You're telling me that improvement is nothing to praise about? In other word, we shouldn't expect improvements in our devices as time goes by?

Forgive me, but this is exactly what ifanboys say.

It is not unknown that apple rarely ever roll out updates. I was talking to some ifanboys and they kept insisting that not rolling out updates is a sign that apple's got it perfect the first time around every time. Speaking as an engineer, I now better than this. No design is ever perfect. Everything can always use an improvement here and there. It's literally bull**** if anyone thinks anything can be designed perfectly the first time around. Everything can always use improvements.

It seems to me like you have ifandom mentality.

I've already decided that I will eventually get the prime. Back in may, I was able to get a brand new TF101 for $250. Let see if I can get lucky a second time. Anyway, the point is I am damn glad they improved on the dock and made it way better. Like I said, every reviewer has said the docking experience is much much better than the first gen. And I applaud asus for making such an improvement on their product.

On a side note, I am about to perform a mod on the TF101 dock that some people have talked about but no one has actually tried it. I've already bought the necessary parts from certain members here at xda. I'm waiting for the parts to arrive, though. If this goes as planned... I'll leave it at that.

I was talking with an acquaintance of mine who's a big igadget user. I told him about the asus transformer and how asus rolled out at least an update each month addressing people's needs. For example, asus originally intended for us to be able to wake the TF with the keyboard dock. After people complained that this drained the battery, asus immediately rolled out an update and even installed for free a new chip to disable this function, thus saving the battery. Every update asus has rolled out has addressed people's negative feedbacks on the functionalities of the device. i see this as a good thing. Asus is actually listening to their customers and are responding directly to our needs.

So, the ifanboy I was talking to said he rarely ever gets updates for his idevices. He claimed that apple's got it perfect the first time around so there's no need to improve anything. I call this bull****. If anything, apple has successfully trained their ifanboys to be happy with what apple tells them is available. In fact, when apple was rolling out iOS 5 update, I was going around asking iphone and ipad users if they were excited or if they were going to update. Surprisingly, most people told me they didn't really care much for such an update and that they were perfectly content with what they were using. This says a lot about the mentality of the ifan base. They think things can be perfect the first time around and that they don't really ever expect anything more.

Knox should go get an ipad if he thinks engineers can get things perfect the first time around, especially on a product that's never been tried before.
