I considered getting one when my eee Pad Transformer was having issues, but i've fixed the problems i was having with the help of folks here...

Also I was playing with an original iPad for a bit (Borrowed it to load up the Mass Effect iOS stuff) and I just didnt feel it was better than my Transformer... I prefer the Youtube app and a few other things for Android over iOS in this instance

For the record, I have an iPhone 4, so im not exactly "biased" here one way or another

I was going to because I sold my iPad 2 about a month ago for $485 so I could get the new iPad but I was waiting for Amazon to sell it so I can use my gift cards. Then I decided to hold off until it gets jailbroken and bought a Transformer Prime instead until it gets jailbroken because I missed having a tablet.

I really like the Prime though, there's a lot to like about it.

If the little issues don't annoy you its easily one of the best out there. If you got a bad prime or are easily annoyed by small issues. Or if you bought the prime to be a 10" replacement for your Garmin then your going to hate it.
Also glad you like it. What serial is yours? C1, C2?

Not getting one just yet. I'm waiting for it to mature, really. I have a feeling iPad 1/2 apps are going to look stretched or even similar to how iPhone apps looked on the iPad1/2. Also, I quickly ran out of storage on my iPad 2, (16GB) so I'll probably opt for a 32GB version this time around.

Posting this from my iPad3 which I picked up last night at midnight at wal mart! 16gb black wifi only. I started an owners club thread too but not sure if that's acceptable. Nobody replied yet hah!

That's what I did.
I got a new iPad 2 16 gb for $360 from Microcenter ($390 with tax). Amazing what a difference a day can make in the price.
March 7th the 16 gb iPad 2 was $499, I ordered mine Thursday the 8th and it was $359.

I'm not going to get a new iPad, but I might get a 2 for the new discounted price.

Still trying to decide whether or not the Transformer Prime is worth the $150 premium over the iPad 2 for what I'll be using it for (web browsing, YouTube, movies, etc), but then again it does have expandable memory....
