"ASUS Tansformer closing in on iPad2" This headline is absolutely wrong. The delta between iPad2 and Transformer sales is growing, not shrinking. In the March quarter, Apple sold 3-4 million iPad2, compared with 0 Transformer sales for Asus (difference of 3 million). This quarter, Apple and Asus will probably sell 9 and 0.7 million ipad2 and Transformers, respectively, so Apple has roughly tripled it's lead. Gun to my head, if I were forced to get a honeycomb tablet, i would get the Tab 10.1. The hardwae is beautiful and it doesn't have that silly SD card expansion slot. It will be a lot more appealing when I can install windows 8 (on ARM).

>>Asustek’s CEO Jerry Shen said the company will ship 300,000 ASUS Eee Pad Transformer Tablets in June alone. This likely tops all their competitors and is only next in line to the iPad 2. ... Shen pointed out further that the company shipped 400,000 Transformer units in April and May, a figure that far exceeded their expectation of 300,000 systems for the second quarter. << Interesting how the numbers in these two stories don't add up. But either way, it's clear that Android tablets haven't done very well, in comparison to the iPad. I believe you were predicting that they would do better, back in the fall. Is it time to admit that you were wrong?
