Asus EEE Transformer Tablet - Review

Posted by on Friday, November 18, 2011

So this ASUS tablet, after a week I guess of testing and using it. It's quite nice.
Let's break this down, Pros and cons.

Pros:
does everything you need it to do- email surf web, music, youtube, fb
Bonus point: flash content is useable.
Screen is responsive to touch, And I now have the touch screen protector on.
The android Honeycomb is decent. 

Cons:
Android market store - no where near Apple's app store. 
The apps -need to have more updates to fix bugs. Even facebook sometimes causes a "FORCE CLOSE"
So the APPS need improvement on stability and updates to make that happen.
Monthly updates at least if anything.
More personalization is needed. At least something close to a Jailbroken iPAD. 
Customization is limited.

Another problem. the Market and some of the other apps have a long refresh or reload time.
This definitely needs to change. Sometimes the app doesn't even load up.
My guess is that it's either the app's server being slow. Or the App itself needs improvement. Lastly, it could be the tablet can't handle the app. My bet is on first 2 reasons. 

So, other then the apps causing a downside. Android tabs are pretty good. 
Hopefully, after getting and Updating to ICS (ice cream sandwich), things will get even better. 
But then again, that doesn't solve the problems of the APP's server being slow or The APPS aren't getting updated to fix bugs and crashes.  


Why not get the iPad 2?
Easy, it costs 500$.
Unless I'm making $, getting that is not worth it.
But then again, Black Friday's approaching. Let's see what the price drops too, maybe insignificant.

Later.
