So for months now I have been wanting to get one of these Tablet PC's. I mean it would be so much easier with one of these than to always having to carry your lap top around. Now of course I have done some research and I found this table that kind of compares all of the Tablets that come with the OS Android Honeycomb 3.0, which was specifically designed and created for the bigger screens of tablets. Now here are my thoughts: Eee Pad MeMo is too small, so is the HTC flyer so they are already out. Motorola Xoom, LG Optimus Pad, the Galaxy Tab 10.1 and maybe even the Toshiba Tablet or Eee Pad Slider are too expensive. Which leaves the Acer A500 and the Eee Pad Transformer.
Now both tablets have some pros and cons:
The Acer A500 has no keyboard available but does have USB directly on it. I think the keyboard is vital though, and it does not seem like they are going to be developing one for the Acer in the near future. It has more memory space than the Transformer, but that can be varied with SD cards so this isn't anything too major. Battery life is 8hrs+8hrs on the Transformer and 10hrs on the Acer. In terms of the price, they seem to be in about the same range, though according to my research, Amazon and co. are not the way to go here as they sell the Eee Pad like $200 more expensive than other sites like newegg.com.
Conclusion: If I have to name one that I prefer, I think it would be the Transformer, not only because it has a sleeker design, but because it has the keyboard available, not only making typing so much easier, but also because it extends the battery life...
