Yes, you guessed it. Android tablets again. I've narrowed my choices down to:
- Motorola Xoom
- Asus Transformer
The reasons being, I wanted a tablet that was Android 3 compatible. So here's what I'd like some input on:
- Are there any devices I've missed (given that I really want Android 3)?
- Are there any problems with the devices I've narrowed down to?
Any and all advice is welcome.

I like the idea of the Transformer because it can interface with another computer. I'm still undecided though.
My Boss has a Transformer and loves it. He used a Xoom for a couple weeks and hated it. Felt sluggish and heavy. He has the optional keyboard dock for his transformer too and it works flawlessly. He also bought a transformer for his son at Harvard and he loves it as well. I've used it several times and coming from iPad IF I was gonna go Android I'd get the transformer over the Xoom.
Our neighbour (nice guy) lent me his Transformer to try out and I have to say, the hardware is pretty gorgeous.
He had the keyboard dock as well which adds some neat extras like another battery and extra USB ports.
My father recently aquired a Transformer and, although I've only played with for a few minutes, it seemed well put together and responsive. The optional keyboard/spare battery thing seemed to work really well and seemed high quality as well.
Thanks all for the comments. I was really getting set on the transformer then I found out that it doesn't work with the Google accessory development kit (arduino) which is a big negative. Having said that I'm not sure I can find a tablet that does work with the ADK!
The tab 10.1 would have been good, but you can't get them in the UK!!!
