Apps can be hit or miss, since alot are not optimized for honeycomb yet.

New flash update lets me play hbogo, and hulu videos with no problems as well.

Well played, thanks.

Oh shi-, I haven't tried hulu since the flash update. Coursesmart finally got a app for android too. It's not optimized for tablets yet but it actually works damn well considering. It's with out a doubt better than using their website. Netflix did release their android app for some phones, but nothing for tablets as of yet.

gah, I want a tablet so bad, but none of them seem to be perfect yet. Transformer looks pretty sweet, but I think not having 4G is a huge downer.

Anyone know if the Ipad2 3G is locked if bought "for AT&T" or can be used with any GSM sim card?

I haven't don't Alot of research yet.....but I believe the iPad 2 isn't even jailbroken yet.

If it's truly not even jailbroken yet, then a unlock is not even on the radar yet

Pretty sure iPads are unlocked. I know for sure iPad 1s are, but forum posts I can find seem to say 2s are also unlocked:

Got lucky and got an order in with Newegg, my transformer will be here on wednesday. :D

**kareface** · 2011-05-29 00:45

Nice. Did you get the keyboard as well?

**testdummy** · 2011-05-29 01:25

No that unfortunately was out of stock by the time I noticed.

**thestalkmore** · 2011-05-29 02:46

Any recommendations for snagging a transformer if I want one? They're impossible to find!

**kareface** · 2011-05-29 11:43

Sorry, I haven't been looking into where to get any. I'm waiting for a 3g version >.<

Neet! Got one on Bestbuy.

For people using any tablet and want to save some money (both up front and monthly), an option is to use your phone as a wifi hotstop using something like MyWi and just pick up a WiFi tablet.

What do you guys think about the Acer Iconia A500?

**Omnipotent** · 2011-05-29 21:28

And for the just as elusive dock:
