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.
