WishList: ASUS Eee Pad Transformer Honeycomb tablet

There's no shortage of 10.1" Android Honeycomb tablets coming to the market like the newly released Motorola XOOM and the upcoming tablets from Toshiba and Samsung. ASUS  has taken a different approach by offering a tablet that can snap on to a QWERTY keyboard  and trackpad dock which has an additional battery giving this docked device an unprecedented 16-hour battery life. We think this might be the dark horse among Honeycomb tablets of this size.

The ASUS Eee Pad Transformer also has a 1GB memory, 16GB or 32GB of storage with unlimited access to cloud-based ASUS WebStorage, both front and rear-facing cameras, and features  the ASUS’ Waveshare UI which adds functionality to the bare bones Android 3.0. Stay tuned for release date, availability and pricing information.

Amazon unveils cloud music storage service in the US

Amazon.com's been full of surprises lately. They've unveiled their own Android app store and now have gone 'to the clould' with a new music service. Launched yesterday, the Amazon cloud drive service and Amazon cloud player Android app work in tandem to offers customers 5GB of free online storage, with premium accounts expandable up to 1000GB.

Customers who purchase an MP3 album will be entitled to 20GB of storage for one year. New Amazon MP3 store purchases can be automatically added to Cloud Drive without counting toward total storage space. The idea here is that users don't need to fill their devices up with gigabytes of music and can stream music they own from online servers. Amazon, please make this International!
