Thanks man, I appreciate the honesty. It's easy to get caught up in how cool the new gadgets can be, especially something like the Transformer with its neat little "turn-into-a-laptop" ability (like the atrix, which btw, we both have.
). For me, personally, my main use for the transformer would be using polaris on it to type up notes during various college classes, browsing the web, checking e-mail, and watching lotsss of youtube and other various video sites such as niconico douga and jibtv. For most of my uses, the transformer seems to be having issues in. I've read in the AC review of the transformer, as well as another separate review somewhere, that the polaris had some issues. You've made me aware of the youtube/video issues; I'd definitely want that to work flawlessly, with 720p video. Having the atrix with its nice, sensitive-to-touch screen, I'm not so sure I'll be able to bear switching between that and the transformer's unresponsive screen, although I understand not everyone is having that issue, so it's most likely a hardware problem. Still, though, that's
yet another problem that people are experiencing with their transformers. I'm kind of tired of hearing about them now lol...I mean, with everything added up, by-golly-george this thing has a LOT of potential problems, and your chances of receiving one that doesn't have anything but a tiny bit of light bleed in a corner somewhere are like 20% out of 100%.
It's unfortunate, because I really wanted this tablet, and I already have the completely unopened keyboard dock sitting behind me, still in its shipping box even (I haven't even touched it after receiving it and sitting it down).
But I think I'll be waiting for the Transformer 2, if it ever comes to fruition. I wasted my money on this dock though, so time to make a post to sell this thing.
