Transformer looks quite good in this comparison. I believe the scrolling speed in browser is better on Transformer (looks too fast on iPad2).

It wasn't a very fair comparison to pitch Flash on the Transformer against a dedicated iPad/iPhone video feed in my opinion simply because iOS doesn't support Flash. Also, if you want to go full screen, just double tab rather than try to hunt out the icon!

I know it was supposed to be a quick comparison, but it just seemed to focus on the speed of the transitions, rather than what you can actually do.

Regards,

Dave

DONATE TO ME
The ipad and android devices are like chalk and cheese. How people can compare the 2 I dont know. Both have their strengths and weaknesses. So all it should come down to at the end of the day is how happy you are with what you bought. If you find yourself regretting the choice, return it for the other one. Simple.

Phone:
Samsung Galaxy W ... Tablet: Google Nexus 7 (16gb)
Retired Devices: |HTC HD2| Asus Eee Pad Transformer |HTC Touch HD |O2 Stellar |HTC Hero |XDA Atom Life | XDA 2i
OS: Win7 Ultimate 64bit

Amen to that. Tired of these comparisons, nothing comes close to Android feature wise.

And, I really don't know many people who sit down with two tablets and work on both at the same time. These sorts of differences (some of which are intentional, such as the pauses before gestures register, switching orientation, etc., and I tend not to prefer Apple's frantic settings) are only obvious when you have the two next to each other.

That's not to say that Apple hasn't optimized the hell out of iOS on the iPad 2 to make sure everything's smooth--that's their shtick. Keep it simple and smooth (their very own KISS principle). But, by itself, I've found Honeycomb (on the Xoom) to be plenty fast and smooth for actual, live, everyday use. Sure, I could sit there and nitpick about a tiny bit of lagging every now and then, but it doesn't actually get in the way of getting things done.

It'll all be good over time. We're in that initial place that Android was on phones, and I think we all know how that's turned out so far.

One thing I would say on this point is that we seem to be very demanding on mobile devices when it comes to lag, yet this lag can often be seen on far more powerful desktops.

If I got to sites like engadget, or ESPN, my desktop browser (Chrome) lags a little - not a great deal, but you couldn't say it was silky smooth - much the same as my Transformer in fact.

Dave

in a nutshell everything he doesn't like or not as slick on the epad is a problem,yet everything the the ipad doesn't do like flash or full 16.9 is not an issue

It is not worthless. You can actually see that transformer display quality is similar to that on the ipad. :)
