I just picked one up today instead of getting a galaxy tab.
Does anyone have any suggestions for cases?
I'm trying to find a folio case but not in leather. Is there any that exist? I've tried looking on ebay but most of the ones I've found are leather.

Now I must wait a few months till this comes out. | I'm so tempted to get the transformer but cash is tight right now and the transformer 2 is coming out... I don't know what to do!!!
Buy now and basically get the keyboard for free? or Buy later and get a potentially better unit?
I say potentially because the software still might not be able to utilize the hardware.

I just went to Memory Express to check it out and they have one with the dock on display.
The dock is AMAZING. It pretty much performs like a laptop/netbook since you can do word processing and powerpoint. I ended up picking up an open box one (all they had left). Came out to be $530ish.
I now have 7 days to test it out to make sure I like it. I'll make sure I do a nice review on it for you guys.
**Edit - WTF why is there no facebook app for android tablet?

laptop won't give me 16 hours of usage on a single charge.
laptop isnt as portable.
start up time is slower.
etc.

2. Cause the laptop will not have a touch screen.
Yet most of us want these for couch surfing, in which case a cheap laptop is a far better choice, especially for those of us that post on forums a lot.

The 32GB for $379 is a nice price! I'm going to have to return my 16GB and grab the 32GB with a price match.
I ended up getting the ASUS folio case. It isn't too bad but the quality isn't that good. I wish there were a lot more accessories for this.

On a side note... playing SNES and GBA games on the transformer is pretty cool!
What kind of apps are you guys running on it? I find that a lot of mainstream apps aren't available (Facebook, Mint.com)

Woah didn't know you could connect a controller either.
But damn it! The sale ended at MemoryExpress and I won't be able to get the 32GB for 379  unless anyone has a screenshot or a receipt or something! Please help haha.
I've been mostly downloading widgets and customization apps. Haven't really tried anything else from the android market.
LauncherPro Plus
Beautiful Widgets
Minimalistic Text
DBClock
Calendar
Google+
Angry Birds
Block Puzzle
Liked the idea of this theme "hubs" [Layout] "Hubs" Updated! - xda-developers so I've been basing my homescreens off of it.

Since I was returning the original 16GB (I got the protection plan aswell) they really didn't want to lose the sale to memory express. I explained to them that it would probably go back down in price.
