After weeks of waiting, I’ve given up on getting the iPad. Apparently people are still queueing up at 5 AM in front of Apple stores in Palo Alto and Stanford Shopping Center.
While the iPad 2 is thinner, the upgrades are so minimally incremental, I’ve decided to wait for the iPad 3. Hopefully it will be a better leap forward (I was never a fan of the antiquated 4:3 screen ratio and its 1024×768 resolution).
But, I’ve always been a huge fan of Android. Friends of mine can attest I have a thick skin when it comes to peculiar devices like my Dell Streak, which is a cell phone with a five inch screen.
And now to much delight I’ve found my next device: a Jekyll & Hyde tablet/netbook called the Asus Eee Transformer.
Pros: it’s a ten inch tablet running Android 3.0, $100 less than the comparable iPad, runs Flash in 720p, and with its attachable keyboard, it can get 16 hours of battery life.
Cons: Wouldn’t you know it, it’s out of stock. But this time I pre-ordered it =)
