[Q] What do you use your transformer for ?

---

OK... heres the thing ... its my 40th birthday coming up and the wife wants to buy me a slightly more special gift than usual

Do i:
a) end up with something that she chooses herself
b) ask for a transformer

She currently has a kindle and is raving about that so im trying to figure out what id use a tablet for over a 'kindle + HTC Desire' combo.

The transformer has no 3G (yet) so i wouldnt use it for web or email whilst out and about.
The transformer has a shiny screen so wont be as good for ebooks as a kindle.

Ive seen the asus commercial so i know the 'standard' suggested uses for a transformer - but im no teen and cant stand up on a skateboard

so .... what do you guys use your transformer for in the 'real world' ? especially with no 3G ??

I LOVE gadgets but im just struggling to justify the expense

Please help me

Adding to the wondering:
will I be able to play facebook games on it (cityville, poker,etc..) From the browser?

Right now, I'm using mine as a laptop replacement. I haven't had to turn my Macbook on since getting ths out of the box. Its a lot easier to just pick up and use... so if you just do casual browsing, this is ideal. I have my iMac for when I'm doing 'serious' work.

If they are flash based, then you should be able to. I haven't tested them, but everything else flash seems to work well, so I don't see why not.

Admittedly I did buy mine to use as a laptop replacement, but I'm waiting for the keyboard dock to arrive. At the moment I'm using it as an ebook reader and for general browsing - it drives my girlfriend nuts as I'm always playing with it!!

I'm not a facebook fan so can't say for sure, but it does have flash, so I don't see why not.

Planning to pick up one very very soon.

Anyway, i plan to use it as a laptop replacement (get Ubuntu running on it )
and WiFi tether it to my Captivate for teh internetz.

You could tether your Desire via Android AP which would essentially give you internet where ever you are. I did this with my XOOM and it worked very well. I had to return it though because the Transformer just seemed like a more practical option for me.

Does anyone know if the keyboard dock will be available in all countries(I'm danish)? The 32gb/no dock version is released earlier here, but I want to make sure I can get the keyboard dock later on!

defeating the decepticons

You can use it out and about with WiFi hot spot on your desire .for this reason I don't understand ,why people want 3 G model as most of the people buying tablets would have a moviles with a decent internet contract

I've played Facebook Scrabble on it. It's a bit picky about keypresses to select and place the tiles, but it's usable.
