So I played with a Transformer today at BB

---

Also played with the Xoom, the Flyer, the TouchPad, and the Tab 10.1.

The Xoom felt well built, but heavy. The Flyer is crippled with Sense and its single core CPU, though it felt well built, its over priced.

So, I was down to playing with the Tab 10.1 and Transformer. Both felt well built and light. The Tab was 100 USD more expensive, and I believe Samsung wants to bring TouchWiz to their HoneyComb devices?

I honestly almost bought the Transformer. Thought, I held back because Netflix isn't officially supported yet. I also didn't see Skype Video either. These things would be essential for me and I wanted to research whether there were unsupported methods for these.

So, what are people using their Transformer/Tablets for? I want Netflix, Hulu, Skype Video. Although, I believe Gtalk Video does work?

Also, just a friendly reminder to everyone. If you play with a demo model at a retail store, don't leave your Facebook account logged in. :P The Flyer, the Tab 10.1, the Xoom, and the Transformer models all had accounts left logged in. The people are lucky I was the one who went hands on with the tablet next because I logged them out without so much as a status update.

Agreed it is unfortunate that things like netflix, hbogo are not usuable on this tab. I could live with watching HBO GO via browser, but flash seems to be all but broken on many peoples TF's also, so that is out the window for now too,

Thanks for the reply. I was pretty close to buying one, they were offering 18 months zero interest financing. But, without those crucial apps, what am I going to do with it that I can't do on my Hp dm1z.

I really agree its not about having 120000 apps,its about netflix,hulu plus,hbo go and words with friends tablet edition, with out those apps honeycomb will never appeal to the masses

I'm not sure I could have resisted to be honest...

I'm a nice guy.

You guys have no idea how much potential this transformer has.I've rooted mine and i've had nothing but fun with this thing,the speed is great and the flash works great with hulu.It might not be all that hot playing with it for 5 minutes in a store,once you root it and get the cpu set,its one of the best tabs out and i've had a xoom and samsung.Its only a matter of time before your apps will be supported(via updates).

Rather US centric view there?

Is that an attempt at sarcasm because it should be! I wouldn't want to watch tv shows on my 10' tablet, that's why i have a 47' plasma

I don't see the use of Netflix on a tablet unless you wanna watch it lying down on your bed and grow fat.
