ASUS Eee Pad Transformer Walkthrough Videos Arrive & Excite (video)
The Asus Eee Pad Transformer is finally making its way into the hands of consumers in the UK, and we expect a U.S. release very soon. In anticipation, Asus has posted a collection of Eee Pad Transformer videos showing off the Hardware, Sound, Cameras, HoneyComb 3.0, Performance and GPS. These videos have only left us wanting the Eee Pad Transformer – a tablet and a quasi notebook – even more.
The Eee Pad Transformer is expected to launch soon, possibly at Best Buy in the U.S., for $399 for the 16GB WiFi only version and $150 for the dock which adds a keyboard and essentially double’s battery life.

This is the first idea intriguing enough to tempt me into getting a pad type device. However, as a writer, I’m left wondering what apps would allow me to use this for writing off-line.
The minute you mate a keyboard to a pad, it becomes a useful content creation device, but not unless there are applications designed to allow off-line storage. Otherwise, a netbook is still more valuable to me personally. I need to be able to write while away from the network.
Love the netbook/pad mash-up idea though. Really cool.
