My wife n' kids keep using my Droid anytime I put it down.
Having a tablet would make them very happy... afterall, Angry Frogs (yes frogs, check it out!) on a 3.5" screen isn't as much fun compared to a tablet's larger screen!!!!!
I'm going on a road trip with three young girls and the Android market place has some very entertaining for small children games that would make the trip a lot, nicer.
So would I. I'd take it with me on business trips - it seems like a good size to fit on a plane. It would also be fun for testing out and troubleshooting my company's apps before they're released.
Come back here right after the time cutoff, and look at the number of comments. That should be about what your chances are.
Anyway: The Eee Pad will be great while waiting for planes, or even on planes. Less cumbersome than a traditional laptop, while still allow quick communication, catching up on news, checking seats, and the like.
It would be for me as well. I've wanted to try Android for quite some time, but my iPhone works just as well. Tablets on the other hand, I think Android Honeycomb makes better use of the form-factor, just haven't had the money to buy one.
I would use the tablet as a laptop replacement by purchasing the keyboard attachment and using the Citrix Receiver application. It would also be a awesome entertainment device for movies, music, and games on the go. Please pick me!
I would love to use one of these tablets for not only my school related work (taking notes, creating documents, etc.) but as well as learning better how the Android OS and the shift in tablets are changing the way we use technology. I am employed as a student work at our technology center and I feel we will be having a lot more of these come through our doors soon. I would love the opportunity to use one of these devices!
I'd mostly like it for myself and my wife to use around the house instead of the desktop or old laptop. But I'd also like to show my company that Apple isn't the only company with good products as we begin moving into the mobile space.
Having just gotten my first smartphone, I'm only just realizing what a device with a larger screen could do for me.. Perhaps a bit of gaming? Definitely some web-surfing. Maybe even a bit of true work as I could use it to pull up building as-builts to find out where such-and-such piping goes...
I would use the Asus Eee Pad Transformer to get some work done. I travel a lot and would like a convenient way to stay in contact with my students and coauthors.
I am the IT Director at a small municipality in Texas and I want this to give it to one of the PD Investigators to use in the field to access via VPN back to our LE Dispatch/Records system while investigating crime and since we have had no budget in the last 3 years for any new equipment this is the only way they are going to get one is if its given to us.
Were I to win the tablet, I'd use it to surf the internet while away from my desktop, watch Netflix movies when away from home, and to see if I could make my father question his iPad. :>
I currently work at a state university and due to budget cut-backs they can't afford to buy me a tablet I need for my job. I would love to use it for work and for personal. Instead of lugging my heavy laptop around when I go out of town, I could carry this petite little thing and lighten my load a bit.
So I am new to the development scene, but I am starting to develop a special app for android. I really want to see more of a creative market take shape for these devices.
I'd use it to surf the net, play games, and watch videos while away from my computer. It would be way more awesome at it than what I am using now (my phone). If I get one of the Transformers, I'll use it to watch the Transformers movies simply for the irony.
Ok, I would use it to help develope software to enable the blind to use android os better. Also, my birthday is tomorrow..This would be a nice present.
I'd definitely use the Honeycomb tablet for development, I've been meaning to test the new honeycomb API's. For personal use I'd use it to lay in bed and watch movies and series, surf the web, play some games, and video chat with my family that is 3000 miles away. I just moved and can't really afford a tablet but I'd love one.
Like several of the other commenters, I would use this as a development platform for Android apps. Additionally, my wife and I would love to have something that we could use to browse the internet and watch videos on without having to turn on the computer.
I'm debating between an iPhone 5 or S GII when then come out in a few months. This would be a nice introduction to Android. Once I have my phone I will eventually get a table with the same OS.
It'd be the first tablet platform I'd personally own and the first chance I'd have at developing game apps for tablets. I would love to start testing out app development and monetize them.
I'd use it on the couch, with my feet up, in place of my eee PC netbook. Which i could then give to my mother in law, and then my wife wouldn't want to buy her one. Here's to hopin'.
My hobby is taking photos of wildlife, landmarks and other random things I was in the Market to buy one of these tablets so I can display and organize my work. But if I get lucky enough to win that would make my day.
I've been an outside observer of the Android platform for a while now, but I sure would like to make the leap. It feels to me that there is so much more I could do with this android tablet than my ios device, being a Linux-using developer.
Not sure how much longer my netbook's going to last, considering it made it through college with me the last 3 years. This would be a good mobile replacement.
I have been waiting for a decently priced tablet running android. Free is decent enough! I will use this for personal and business use. It'll be perfect.
As a college student this would be incredibly useful for taking around campus and using with all of the google services such as google+ and google music. I've wanted a tablet for a really long time and the transformer is one of the nicest and most versatile in my opinion.
As a teacher I presently use a 6 yr old tablet PC to do grades/attendance in my classroom. A new tablet would certainly make an excellent replacement for it!
I have just purchased my first Android smartphone and am loving the mobile os. I would love to begin developing applications for the platform. It would be wonderful, of course, to have a tablet to test them on :)
Used at work to help develop WiFi network usage model and work out security requirements so visitors/users could jump on the WiFi and get access to stuff securly.
I have been watching the tablet market closely, especially the Transformer. I would use it for note-taking in class, web-browsing, better familiarizing myself with the system to better support others, and development of Android Apps, just to name a few.
I would use it first to design an application for my senior project. After that is done, I would use this to develop some nice tablet applications, which Honeycomb is seriously lacking. I don't have much experience with android, but this would be a great starting point for my development. I would also use it for school, since the tablet plus its dock can give me more than 10 hours of battery. And of course, watching some Netflix :)
I am dev'ing it up with Honeycomb on the SDK pack for Windows now, and desperately need to try on a tablet but can think of about three-hundred and ninety-nine reasons why I can't. Also would love to let my kids watch video's and play games on it...must be fun to be a kid these days.
Hello, I'm the owner of a rooted Viewsonic Gtab. I like long walks on the beach and lightning bugs. I'm looking for a more exciting tablet. If your name is Galaxy 10.1 or Transformer, please contact me.
I have a free app in the Android market, it's doing ok but I would love to create another app sepcifically for the tablets. I keep reading that there are a ton of iPad specific apps but hardly any for Honeycomb. They're too expensive right now to buy to develop for and the emulator is absolutly horrible. So this one would be great.
I'd use mine for streaming from my lossless FLAC music server, possibly e-book comics for the color (my Kindle is B&W), watching videos, and as a development toy to try writing something besides Windows C/C++ code for a change.
I'd use for a variety of things mostly souronding entertainment. However when the Vmware View client comes out for the Android OS I'd use it as an extension of my office.
However if this isn't serious enough I'd use it to save the whales (whichever ones need to saved) and then bring about world peace :)
I would use it in my living room to remote into my office and apply those pesky monthly patches on my office servers! ...and surf AnandTech in my spare time!
One day I will be surprised when I receive an email saying that I won a drawing. I am tired of seeing those flashing "You won! You are the 1 millionth visitor to this website ads" teasers...
I would use it as an ebook reader or for browsing the web on the couch. And to figure out if I can integrate it well into what I do so its used for more than just leisurely entertainment.
It would replace my laptop as the "around the house" computer. I'd use it for recipes when cooking, have it on the coffee table to look things up while watching TV and browsing or reading in bed. Oh, and angry birds in the crapper.
I would user this for the obvious reasons of web surfing and playing with apps, but the most exciting and useful feature would be reading my comics on a tablet. Use my girlfriend's nook color and I am addicted to reading comics on tablets now.
She's a teacher and as you know teachers pay isn't very much.. She would like to have her text books on tablet so that she doesn't have to carry them around all the time.
With the flat back both of these would lie fairly well on a coffee table and would wipe clean quite easily. The tempered glass surface might make a nice cutting board, but I'd worry about food getting stuck in the various parts. Alternatively, depending on how low a door is hung these would make excellent stops if inverted.
When going on business travel, I often have to take 1 or 2 business laptops already. Since it is policy to keep personal use separate from business use, it would be nice to bring a small tablet like this for personal e-mail and web browsing so that I don't have to use the company laptops or lug another personal laptop. I should be able to easily fit this in my laptop bag.
As a network engineer, this would be useful remote access to servers, fixing problems on the go. Access to the web while on job sites while installing/troubleshooting network related issues. Want to get a pluggable cisco console cable/interface working on android for configuration.
Home use for daily surfing/email/streaming video from home computer. Control interface for home automation and security system. Also video chat with my wife's family in Brazil.
I would have a much easier time in meetings. I do a lot of meetings at my work and sometimes I need a much longer battery life in order to project presentations for our clients and take notes. Having a tablet will really ease things along and absolutely adore the Asus Transformer and Samsung Galaxy Tab. Fingers crossed!
I'd use one as a fast hi-(er) res machine to target for development. I've already got a Coby mid7015a and a Droid X, so this would give a nice round set of platforms an speed.
My wife, my 4 kids and I would use this daily. Since moving to a new location, we can use it to find out things to do in the local area while we are out and about. Good times.
I'd love to own one of the Asus Transformers. My wife just purchased one for "sofa browsing" - those times when you don't want to run to your desktop or laptop, and the phone browser is too small. Also useful for the times when you need to browse an Adobe Flash based site.
It'd be awesome for a number of things, primarily because my wife could use it to do all the things she currently uses our laptop for, especially with the keyboard attachment.
I don't know how I'd use it, because my wife would take it from me. She'd use it as a Kindle reader, PDF reader/markup, delivering slides during lectures, and occasionally so she and our daughter could video chat with me more easily when I am on travel.
I have been wanting a tablet to help aid my creative writing/outlining on the go. My wife wants one to help her start her business, which involves research around town. We just haven't been able to afford one. This would help us a lot.
It would be great to have one of these to use for school. I'm taking a heavy coarse load, (with heavy books), in the fall. If I could load my textbooks onto this in even a couple of classes it would let me ride my bike to campus much more than I'm currently able to.
Probably give it to my parents whom I think a simple internet enabled device like this would be perfect for. It'd be a nice toy to play around with for a bit, but I doubt it'd hold my attention or replace my laptop.
I would give this to my wife so she wouldn't need my computer to surf Facebook. Then the computer would become Mine! All Mine!!! My Precious!!!!!! MuaHaHaHaHaHaHa!!!!!!!!
Just mentioned to me the other day how she'd love to have a tab with 3g contract, and get a really cheap pay as you go phone to replace her android phone, which is too small for cool functionality, and too expensive to making calls.
Would love to win the Eee Pad. Like the fact it has the cameras, decent display resolution. Would be great for our family trip in mid August. Don't know if it could be sent that quickly - I see winner selected Aug 5th.
I've been wanting to try a tablet PC to see if it would make a good grad school replacement for my ancient laptop. My needs are pretty basic: web, email, video, and running lots of presentations. I'd also like to try a capacitive display with a stylus and see if it can replace good old pen and paper for taking notes. Unfortunately, even at $400 the cost is hard to justify, especially on a grad student stipend (and since spiral bound notebooks only cost $.99). I can't think of a better way to start than these. Fingers crossed!
I would use the Transformer to replace the ancient (2004) laptop I have been using since the screen died on a slighty more recent laptop.
I was glad to see that companies like Asus decided to increase the utility of tablets by adding a detachable keyboard. My kids like touch screens, but I'm an old codger.
Well already bought a Xoom but having a lighter tablet would be nice. My dad's also was looking at getting one for my grandma to play something like mahjong with but so far haven't sound a good one on the app store yet.
Would love to figure out why i'd need a tablet. Can't see spending $500 on something for my 9-year old to play video games on. But if i won one, I could figure out why me and my wife could use one it would be great. Thanks Anand for a great objective website, I'm always looking here for the in depth tech info i need to make decisions regarding SSD's, cpu's, gpu's and other tech i implement at home and at work.
I'm pretty happy with the desktop that I've built myself, but I often find myself needing to run to the library or to a friends house to use a computer while I'm away. If you gave me this tablet, I'd be able to hold off getting a smart phone for a long time, and I'd really appreciate it.
I'm a programmer who just got his first Android phone recently and have been using it like crazy! The first thing I would do with an Android tablet is integrate it into my tabletop gaming (D&D and GURPs) sessions.
It would definitely be nice to be able to take something with me on the go, especially after purchasing the keyboard attachment so it could function as more of a laptop .
Browse & play games at home Show off Android's awesome speed and apps to the Apple lovers at work Watch movies, play music, and check news when I travel.
It would be great to have a tablet, like the ASUS Eee Pad Transformer, since I've never had a "Pad", "Tab", or "Laptop" in my life. Just never could justify the Moolah, Wampum, Smackers, Doubloons, Cash it would take to buy one.
I'd use it to develop apps and compare them to the current iPad platform our company uses....ahh who am I kidding I'd be playing angry birds all day :D
Does it run Skype? If so, I would give it to my parents so that we could video chat - they live a long way away and have a *terminally* slow (Pentium 3?) laptop that they mostly use for Skype. I bet this would be way better for them - they could chat wherever they happened to be in the house, it would be able to turn on instantly, and the video quality would probably be better too :).
I am an amateur photographer and I need a device that I can easily allow my customers to view my portfolio and their own pictures after a photo session. I am also looking into what it would take to tether my Canon 7D to the device for live shooting. My wife has a rooted Nook Color and I am insanely jealous and need something I can play with on the other end of the sofa on a Tuesday night ;-)
I would play the most expensive game of frisbee with my AIBO. Just kidding. I would actually buy the keyboard dock and use it like a laptop during the day, and then use it as a tablet to browse while listening to music on the couch.
I'd use it as an effective mobile way to show people my digital photography as well as use it in English lessons for Japanese children. It always great to incorporate technology into the classroom.
A tablet would be perfect for browsing or watching movies while on the treadmill. But let's be honest I'd use it more while not wanting to get out of bed.
I'd like to develop an android app for my site (www.dccontests.com). I have an android phone but making sure it works well and looks good on tablets is important!
Not to mention I could use this with the dock to replace my asus eee pc. I wonder how easy it is to dual boot these with gentoo?
...writing. I am still looking for that system that would let me capture ideas almost anywhere. Smartphones are too small, laptops too big. Netbook has been OK but this would be better especially with the docking station for more extensive writing.
Without a doubt should I be fortunate enough to win, I'd re-gift it to my future brother-in-law who has been yapping about these for a couple months now. I'd even benefit by keeping my wallet from taking a financial hit.
I have a desktop for many of my school needs (studying Computer Security), however I personally put a lot of my focus for papers and research into Android/smartphone security. While I have two smartphones to test security on; I do not have a tablet. Since I do not have the money to buy a tablet on my own, winning the ASUS Eee Pad Transformer would help with my scholastic studies. I would also be able to use it for note taking since it has the Polaris Office suite installed.
I would use a tablet in class to take notes and also hold power points. I would also use it to design the new apps i hope to create in the near future :)
I'm an RF engineer, and I'd start developing applications that I could actually use on the job. Currently there are very few, and I'd really like to see more.
I haven't the slightest idea what I'd do with a tablet. I wouldn't buy one. But, if I won one, I could experiment with it and see if it was of any use.
1. Listen to my audio library using subsonic, as well as watch my video collection using the same app.
2. Use the table to read the bible using youversion.com's excellent bible app, and take notes at church and conferences with springpad. Current;y using my phone for this, but notetaking is not on such a small screen.
3. Use it to stream some TV from my HDHomerun box into whichever room I want it. Woot!
I would use this tablet as a carputer. I'd probably have to write my own android OBD II app, but I think the tablet form factor is perfect in this space.
I would use this tablet to read books on Java, and then try to write honeycomb applications. Probably wouldnt end up with any useful ones, but it would still be fun.
I would use this to do a bit of e-mailing and watching movies. I am currently using a laptop to watch movies whenever i'm not working so this would be a big relief from using a hefty laptop.
Would love to win one of these! Using a tablet would transform my casual internet usage experience. I could use this to access the internet for all of those little spur of the moment things anywhere in the house or out and about instead of having to get to a pc, use my HUGE laptop, or compromise with a mobile site on my phone!
I would use the Transformer to connect with my wife and child while I'm traveling for work as well as manage work documents without a clunky laptop. I use Google Docs all the time and everyone is impressed with how quickly I can get things done because I can manage the documents for free from my phone wherever I am. A honeycomb tablet would make document editing easier and presentations even better! I could also have a nice personal theater on the planes, being the envy of the sky! Too bad my company will not supply these awesome tablets. My clients would sure be impressed with Honeycomb!
Aside from the obvious media watching/listening, this would serve as a great location-sensitive map for traveling in unfamiliar cities and finding still more Honeycomb devices.
My mom's birthday is coming up and she's running an old hunk o' junk for a desktop (originally had Windows 98 SE now has XP), and it's becoming worse and worse.
I think one of these would fit the bill just perfect for her.
I would use this to do a bit of e-mailing and watching movies. I am currently using a laptop to watch movies whenever i'm not working so this would be a big relief from using a hefty laptop.
I'm sure my pregnant wife would love a way to browse the intarwebs comfortably from the couch or bed. That's not to say I wouldn't use it for my own greedy purposes though!
If I win this tablet, I will use it for good, and not evil. I will not use it to plan a secret underground base complete with henchmen. I will definitely not use it to place a giant laser on the moon. Most certainly I will not have it aid me in using that laser to destroy the planet Mercury.
it would be interesting to see how efficient a tablet would be when doing field work on an appraisal. Live data input at the moment of gathering it from the field...How much more efficient could it get?
I would use this device to introduce my grandchildren to the Internet. They currently have no access at home and this would be of tremendous help. Thanks for considering them.
I'd use it for a home theater remote for my projector and Dlna servers as well as a movie catalog and research tool. Probably some remote desktop use in there somewhere too.
I am a software developer looking to branch out into the world of mobile and tablet apps, but I can't afford to buy a platform for testing. This would be great!
I'd like to say that such a device would increase my productivity and make me a more intelligent and handsome person but I'm fairly certain that about 90% of its usage would come from surfing fine sites like this during my daily tech-porn/reading sprees with a side of Google facilitated mailing/conversing. So, with the addition of a tablet to my life, I guess that my tech knowledge would be set to increase and my productivity via email/chat would skyrocket. Not sure that it would help with the handsome (unless I held it up in front of my face)...I made myself sad.
My son (he's 5) is constantly asking to play my phone. It's a HTC Desire with the android system too, so could let him have the phone whenever and could use the tranformer for the real work of smashing those silly green pigs!
I would love to carry this around day-to-day, rather than my behemoth of a laptop. So much more portable, and I don't do much on my laptop that I couldn't do on Android. Plus, it'd be great for development on the Android platform since it'd be my first Android device.
The battery life of these things kills notebooks, and the form factor's a lot more convenient. I'd likely pick up the keyboard add-on to double the battery life and bring it with me to conventions or various meetings. It would make note-taking, web browsing, and goofing off during the boring parts a lot easier and get a little attention in the process.
I would love a have tablet, so I can continue my studying/training and also read up on Anadtech on the go while I commute. I am also curious if there are any good apps that in practice I can use to expand my graphics design pipeline.
I would use this tablet for watching videos, browsing the web and use its innovative keyboard dock for editing documents. Your review of this tablet was very insightful and I can see that honeycomb OS holds a lot of potential.
Wow. These are really awesome giveaways. I have entered each one but haven't won (yet?). Maybe this will be the one. Either way, whoever wins is going to have a huge smile on their face.
You should ask people to post pics of themselves with the gear when they receive it. For giggles and stuff.
Anyway, here's to hoping my name gets picked from the hat.
Im the one that need one the most ,i lost my wife Wedding ring ,on the other hand she wished for one of these .this would really buy me enough time to get a wedding ring ,and keep her choppers closed about her lost weding ring.(Lord im not worthy ?
I could really use a tablet around the house and even at work. Thank you for the giveaways Anand. Have been a long time viewer and look forward to many more years.
As I have an overclocked desktop for all my gaming and 3D applications, I would probably use the tablet for browsing the interwebs. I have a Google Nexus One (Android ver. 2.34) and I am curious if the extra horsepower of the tablet would give the OS some legs!
... so I'm due. I'm about to start a new job where I travel all the time, so this thing would keep me sane on the road (but not literally while I'm driving).
I'm about to start my first CS teaching job at a high school, and I'd love to try to find ways to use a tablet in the classroom. Attendance, splashtop, the mind boggles! Help me corrupt the youth of America by giving me one!
I would use this tablet to entertain my kids and so that my wife can more easily and quickly check her facebook. I would use it to watch movies and generally play around with.
I would love to win an android tablet. A neat usage I have in mind would be to write an application to act as a control panel for a multi-zone heating / AC system for the house.
What happened to "unfortunately extending the contest rules outside of the US is a bit more than we're able to reliably handle today. That's not to say that we won't at some point in the future, we just have little experience doing such things and don't want to get burned early on."?
Other sites seem to have no problem with this. It has been well over a year now and the above excuse seems a bit lame at this point, which is probably why it is no longer included in the rules!
For me, tablets are a way to read either websites like Anandtech (which I've been doing for 14 years or so) or other portals like yahoo, newspapers, etc. as well occasionally watch videos or listen to music or podcasts. Oh, and I guess there's always angry birds and good ol' backgammon. This is why I've been waiting for an inexpensive solution to justify itself so I can stop buying newspapers at $0.75 a day. A convertible like the eee transformer could end up being useful for a number of other things too like writing or work, so it's a good value add but price is going to be a factor when Android's forced use of cloud and network over direct connection of devices like printers and external drives is a pain to deal with.
...but I've got this engagement ring thing I'm saving up for. Winning one would give me a nice media content/gaming device I could take with me on the honeymoon. For the....ummm....downtime......lol.
It will enhance my couch potato life style. I will be able to watch TV and browse the internet in style. I will be able to save my "you know what " from being burnt up by my hot running 15.6 in quad i7 820M laptop. For my wife, she will be saving her darling couch from laptop burns. Pick me please
I would love to use this to browse the great Anandtech and Dailytech articles from the comfort of my couch when my wife wants me to watch some mind numbing show on TV!
Winning either tablet would great. Aside for a getting a great tablet, winning would allow me to disprove my wife's "We never win anything" theory. That alone would be priceless!
As a poor graduate student (biochemistry) this would be a great upgrade over the first gen pentium 4 Dell desktop I use for email and light browsing, not to mention it's perfect for traveling to conferences.
As a student finishing undergraduate and moving toward graduate studies, being able to access files both on the go and at home is vital. Because I travel frequently, I need to be able to work in vehicles, on planes, and in places like hotels and other schools. An Eee Pad Transformer would be ideal for allowing productivity (and maybe a little fun/showing off!) Also: can't afford one myself; I have to pay for school..
I would use it as a second web browsing device to be shared between myself and my GF; our small apartment doesn't leave space for more than one computer.
I'd love to have a Transformer tablet for the convenience of a couch computer. Often, I'll be watching tv and see an actor/actress and be like where did I see him/her before or hey, here's a trailer on this blurary/dvd for a movie. Maybe I should add it to my netflix queue. Or hey, there's a product I should look up or what's the weather like. There's a lot of spur of the moment type things where I don't watn the hassle or wait of booting up a pc or laptop. I want the convenience of instantly looking it up at the couch or the bedroom for that matter.
I am looking for this to be a quick and easy internet capable appliance for those times when I just don't want to meander over to the computer.
I am a grad student of Computer Game Development at DePaul University, and I have been really interested in developing games for the Android OS but I currently do not have the means to buy a tablet or smartphone. So, this is a great opportunity for me, thanks!
I'd be interested in indulging my love of classic gaming via DosBox with the ASUS Eee Pad Transformer. A great advantage I see in this tablet over all the others is the docking accessory. I haven't purchased any tablets yet because I could not see any functions that one would add over a 5" screen smartphone and a desktop.
I think this one might convince me to change my mind if someone gets DOSBox to work for Honeycomb as the screen is just large enough for that and the Tegra 2 should be powerful enough for DOS games.
I was going to get a tablet for my "big" 30th birthday present, but now we might buy a house and well...thats probably out the window.
Winning one would be great. I would use primarily to surf the internet and look at thinks like maps while I'm playing xbox games from the couch. I might even use it for tips and stuff when playing genesis classics like shadowrun in real time, so I can finally beat that damn game.
As the parent of a 2 year old and 1 month old, and having to travel a lot with them, I find my phone is my one of our best friends in controlling the kids. A tablet would bring that many more entertainment possibilities to the table.
- Mobile computing, especially during personal travel (I do not own a laptop) - Couch computing while watching sports - Entertainment (video and games) - Email - Calendar and schedule management - Web browsing, news, and eReader
I'm a high school policy debater. In this style of debate, laptops are used extensively to organize and read evidence. If given this tablet, I would do everything in my power to use it in debate rounds. Thank you.
I've been wanting to get a tablet for a while now. If I won one, I'd use it as a replacement for most of what I currently do on my laptop, including e-mail and web browsing.
I would use it as a status symbol. I mean, I could really boost my geek cred by having a tablet that isn't an iPad. I will be the coolest kid at the D&D table.
It would be a great tool at the house for my wife and daughter. I think the more tactile elements of a tablet will appeal to them vs. a laptop. It would be a great resource for both education and entertainment.
Or we'll use it as a cutting board... not sure yet.
I would love to win one of these tablets for media content on the go and accessing my movies on my NAS as well as using it as an e-reader for my books and magazines!
If I won this tablet I'd test drive it for use in college. All the reviews make it seem like it is one of the better Honeycomb tablets and with the keyboard makes a good laptop/netbook.
My wife would love to have this. She can use this to video chat with our family abroad through the entire house without having to carry around a laptop! Plus all she does on the lappy is facebook and browsing, for which this would be awesome. Plzzzz
I would use it mainly for entertainment, movies, music, and to read comics and news. I could use it instead of laptop for those times I feel like using a computer while lying in bed. :D
ANANDTECH IS AWESOME!!!!! i would use the tablet for my hobby and college! I fix computers for my hobby. So i do alot of remote support as well and need a tablet for this. i have been using the samsung captivate for remote support but is to small for big jobs or college. As most people know college can suck you dry. i make enough from my hobby to survive so i can goto school full time. i would love to have this for school as well. easier to carry then a laptop.
I would probably use this for multimedia purposes. Watch movies, listen to songs, play games, etc. Although i could take notes with this in my classes.
A tablet could replace the older laptop I keep under my couch, be a lot easier to take to my family's house to share pictures and videos with the family.
by allowing me to wield the tablet, you will have doomed mankind to servitude and fear. yes with the power of the tablet, i will crush my enemies, and plunge this planet into a new dark age.
BEHOLD!! THE TABLET OF TERROR, ALL WILL FEEL MY WRATH!
I would use it to play games with my daughter on it. My Droid is a bit small for both of us to use at a time. Wouldn't be bad to have a web surfing ability while watching TV either...
I have four children and they all use computers for education. Currently we only have 2 computers. This tablet would allow me to have at least one more of them to work on their Khan Academy every day.
My 10 and 11 year old children are working on complex multiplication (3-5 digit numbers) and pre-Algebra, while my 6 year old is doing long addition and subtraction and starting on single digit multiplication already, so this would be a huge boon for my family!
I'm interested in leveraging the low power small form factor of a tablet to access the more powerful at-home servers for content, control, and synchronized data to create an environment in which all of may data are available anywhere/anytime.
I would love this Eee Pad Transformer - would use it at work for all meetings, as well as at home as my couch computer. Asus has done a great job shaking up the tablet market by coming out with an offering with these specs and a $399 price tag. The ability to turn it into a full on netbook with the keyboard attachment is really the icing on the cake.
I would use it to create a powerful artificial intelligence which I would then incorporate into my nano-enhanced body. I would then rule the earth as a benevolent demi-god.
I'd love to get one of these, in addition to the geek factor it'd be great for the many trips we take, stick a couple videos on here & my kids will be happy!
Currently I'm using a rooted/CM7ed Barnes and Noble nook Color. Moving up to a full blown dual core unit with GPSr and other fun things would simplify traveling without a netbook or laptop. Plus, it gives me another platform to play Angry Birds on.
Mostly for web surfing and email, but I'd also it as a reader (my old eyes prefer backlit screens) and and few other android applications. The screen on my original palm pre is just too small.
If I won an eee Pad, I would probably use it when I travel with work, and for checking the various news, financial, and tech sites I read each morning.
Would love to win one of these So I have an efficient way to organize sheet music and use it to arrange and read music off of. Tablets are the way to go these days for an at-home composer and piano player. I woudl also use this to record and edit music from my keyboard.
My wife and I can't afford a tablet quite yet, though we do desperately need one. Our laptop is on it's way out, our desktop is already offline and there's little room in the budget for replaceents.
So this would basically serve our most basic computing needs at home, perhaps even after we get the laptop and desktop fully back online. My wife in particular really only ever uses facebook, email and web. So a tablet is perfect for her needs especially.
Great for her to keep learning things during the summer months. She loves reading on her Grandma's iPad and would love a tablet of our own that she can use as well.
Would use it to try to keep track of my day to day activities at work, keep appointments, take notes, and play games! Mainly want to go all digital and try to reduce amount of paper I use everyday.
I would use the tablet at work for presentations, notes, and admin servers. I would let me 2 yr old child access streaming Netflix and Amazon videos, and color and learn about the world with the wonderful applications out there for children.
Took forever for my Samsung Fascinate to get Froyo and looks like I'll never get Gingerbread. Any idea whether or not these tablets will run the the next big rev of Android?
I'd love to use a Asus Transformer. My old macbook's battery doesn't last long enough to be worth taking to class to take notes on. With the tablet and the keyboard dock--it'd be the perfect note taker... and distraction :D
We used to have one computer for each member of the family. One got stolen, one wouldn't turn on at all, and my son wiped the keyboard of our laptop with a wet cloth, so now it behaves as if a key is permanently stuck in the down position - disconnecting the keyboard also disconnects the power button. Now, we're down to just two. Our children pretty much use both all the time. (In the old days, kids used to take over the phone.) So I need a (tablet) computer to check on e-mail, read AnandTech, etc. My eyes are too old for the tiny screen on my phone.
Currently using a seven+ year old laptop. Only able to run Ubuntu and XP on it. If I won I'd use this for school mostly. Taking notes, recording lectures (voice & picture). Especially with my upcoming circuits class. I could then use this to design circuits while following along with the professor. Would make it a hell of a lot easier to be able to draw them out on a tablet rather than using my mouse.
I would use this tablet/netbook like it was my job. Oh wait, it is. Imagine this...I work in web/software development and I do not own a laptop, tablet, smartphone, or even a cellphone. I'm serious, I owned an LG Chocolate like 4 years ago for about a year. That's my expertise in the mobile market. I do, however, have a 5ghz 2700K with SLI at home, on an asus mobo I might add, but that's a little clunky to be carrying around.
Owning this sweet little piece of technology would literally transform my life. Can you say android development? Booya!!!
I'd use this as an HTPC remote control, casual Web-surfing device mostly, I think. Perhaps as an ebook reader at times, depending. Maybe even for recipe-following while cooking. Way easier than moving the laptop over to the kitchen.
I would build a head mount that would hold the tablet in front of my face, screen facing outwards, with a head-shot of my life-long hero, Dustin Diamond.
Easiest uses of one of these tablets would be as an eReader, a game platform, and a media platform. However, I'd also be interested in possible work uses for data tracking, trouble ticket tracking, etc.
I would use my Honeycomb tablet to be my product to write my first tech review. From there I would go to reviewing and commenting on all things tech, eventually building a huge journalistic empire. During this rise to the top, I would buy AnandTech.com for a hefty sum (think 10 figures). After decades on top, I would decide to step down from the board and the company would fall apart due to poor management (nepotism never works). My fortune, heavily invested in company stocks, would evaporate . I would die penniless, sadly clutching the tablet that started the whole trip.
Or, I'd just show all my friends that there is indeed competition to Apples iPad.
I'd use it for grad school as an upgrade on battery life and screen resolution over a Lenovo X61t running Win7. definitely buying the keyboard dock too.
Probably the most use would be from browsing the web and what not while lounging on the couch or the patio, as lugging even a CULV laptop is a drag and my new 3VO is just too small to do any real intensive stuff on.
I would use the tablet to work on AutoCad as a Mechanical Engineering student in college, so that I could take my work with me and work in more comfortable or inspiring locations.
I would love to have a Honeycomb tablet. I got a chance to play with Honeycomb (Xoom) at Target. Liked what I saw. I'd give my Galaxy Tab Wifi 7" to my daughter and use the new Honeycomb Tansformer to make my wife jealous (of her 1st gen iPad)!
1. Use it to control XBMC HTPC. 2. Set on the shelf above the treadmill to stream video to, since the only room the treadmill will fit in currently has no TV. 3. Casual web browsing from the couch. 4. E-Reader for my soon to be wife, as she has always wanted one, but can't warrant spending the money, and won't let me get one for her either...
A honeycomb tablet would enable me to do my job better. I'd be able to manage the courses I teach on the go as well as track and monitor injuries that I have to stay up to date on.
I would love to have one of these. Would really help for work, i could remote in to our servers rather than have to come in every time something craps out.
Man, i have been wanting this for so long. i really want to use transformer as my mobile system so I can use it on the go for fun, work, and entertainment.
It's really difficult sitting outside in 90 degree heat for 2 hours while my son practices football and trying to read a book or watch a video on my HTC Incredible. I'm sure it would be much more satisfying to read or watch on a nice, lite Galaxy Tab or even a slightly heavier Asus Transformer for that matter. Thanks!
If I had an ASUS Eee Pad Transformer, I would put to rest all the qualms that people have for tablet PCs. Many people still find them useless but I will use it for as much as I can, from reading books, browsing the internet, checking emails, playing games to writing apps.
looking for a tablet to use as an e-book reader and considering developing apps for use in courtroom setting (particularly appellate). There are good trial level apps for the iPad, fewer for android and i have yet to see any for either that work well for moot court or any kind of appeal work.
I would use it at home and as a device to take on the road with me. I think this tablet is one of the best ones out there, considering price and specs/capabilities! Thanks for having this contest!
I'd love to have one of these tablets for my son. I think introducing him to this type of device early on will pay dividends down the road. It would also bring a whole new level to reading Dr. Seuss books to him.
I still don't know why I need a tablet, but I'm willing to give it a try. Media consumption is the obvious choice, but I prefer to do that in my home theater or on a large (ish) computer display.
I will use it to watch movies, my wife will use it to browse the web, my daughter will use it to play educational games... all from the comfort of the crouch
My wife and I both have old G4 Powerbooks which have reached there prime. We'd love iPads, but can't use them without a newer computer. There is a familiar saying that we all know (How to kill two birds with one stone), but I have modified it for obvious reasons. How to replace two old laptops with one new tablet. Thank you for this opportunity.
As a computer technician I would use mine to really understand the ins and out of this breed of tablet. Then pass on the knowledge to those who need to know more about tablets.
I would totally use a tablet to watch movies at the gym and read more books at night! And to begin teaching my 18-Month old about computers and reading!
It would be nice to read my rss feeds from the couch instead of the at the table. Not to metion having the ability to screen photos at family gatherings using something other then a cellphone.
I would use one to read strategies on while playing a game like Dragon Age or WoW on my main desktop. Oh and reading in bed at night without the need for my bedside lamp to be on, and not having my laptop roast my legs. That would be nice.
I'm currently doing an internship as a Bible school and am doing media and IT work. I would mostly use this tablet as a email and mobile internet device on campus, being able to work on a computer and not need to take your laptop or use an ipod touch to use the internet when the computer in question is incapacitated would be wonderful. I've wanted a honeycomb device since they came out but first as a student and now as an unpaid intern I could not and can not afford or justify that in my expenses for the foreseeable future.
I would use my Transformer for web browsing while traveling and while sitting on the couch in the evenings, but my main desired use is for MLB.TV stream watching. Being able to carry it with me from room to room and on the road without missing a pitch would be enjoyable.
I'm a student and either of these tablets would be perfect for what I do at school. The only catch is that, If I had to chose one, I'm not sure which one would be better. :-)
Not entirely sure- I'll probably give it as a gift to someone in the immediate family who could use it more. Creativity gears to think of a use won't engage on the 1/5000 chance of winning but definitely would engage if I won it.
I would use it for watching movies, maps while traveling, showing off pictures of fish and area flooding, playing a few games, and writing my book in places where I don't want to use a real pen and paper.
I would watch movies on it. Won't give Asus money as they sent me back a replacement motherboard 2 months before they sent me any tracking number. Still waiting for a replacement replacement.
If I were to win (with my luck this is highly unlikely), I would probably use to read and do some work. I see people with iPads and they seem to be getting some sort of work done. I figure I could do the same instead of carrying books and my 15 inch laptop.
I would use the Asus Eee Pad to listen to my music collection whether on the actual Pad or through the cloud. I'd watch movies on it, check my email, social networking, web surfing, and if it can hook up to an HDTV, I'd do that, too! If there's an app out there that can make it function as a remote control, I'd use it for that, too. The possibilities are endless! Plus, I'm moving into a new place soon, so it would be a great housewarming gift.
Been really wanting a capable Honeycomb tablet for a while. The Transformer is just delicious. Please, oh please let me win this beautiful piece of tech.
I'd manage to finally hit that magically number that suddenlink has been pestering me with where they'd disconnect/force me to upgrade my service to a higher tier
If I won that pad would go with me everywhere: Anandtech in the bathroom, Anandtech at the bar, Anandtech at my work lunch hour (because I ahem, work during work hours...*giggle*), Anandtech at the supermarket, Anandtech at the post office, Anandtech at the doctor's office, Anandtech at the bank....
I'm really wanting a tablet to eschew my laptop when out of the house. I have a DSLR and plan to get photos onto it (even if i've got to hack it to get USB hosting) then out to the web for sharing while on the road. Totally excited for a tab, that's for sure.
I'm moving apart from my partner of 6 years for a year of clinical work and the video camera on my laptop is malfunctioning. I'd love to have a tablet to help us keep in touch with each other through video chats. Thanks!
Honestly, it'd become my new bathroom computer. No, not just for..uhm..sitting time.. It'd be a godsend to have when I'm trying to unwind in the tub, listen to music, browse some sites, watch videos, whatever. Just wish the thing was waterproof. :P
i would use this to read anandtech news and reviews and forums while at work and my fiance and i would play angry birds at home :) actually, i think she would keep it home while i'm at work lol plus you need a winner from hawaii anyway
I'd use the table as a complete media experience. First off, an ereader would be great as I'd love to read but printed copies of books takes too much space. I'd also use it for internet surfing, movie watching, or just as a music player when on the go or relaxing out at the pool.
There's probably a ton more things I could list, but I don't want to bore you.
As a tech enthusiast with only a desktop I would be using my tablet all around the house for checking on my email and watching online videos. I would also try and see how able it is as a production platform for designing and creating webpages.
Interestingly enough, I could not picture myself using this is many of the usual activities. But this may be an opportunity to see if this can replace some of the paper I use everyday.
I would love to get my hands on one of these tablets! I fly for business every week as a consultant and have found pulling out a full size laptop in coach to be quite troublesome. One of these loaded up with movies and basic productivity software would save me 4-8 hours of boredom twice a week!
I recently gave my only laptop to my dad. My dad was diagnosed with liver cancer a couple months ago. He's too sick to work, so he spends the majority of his time at home. Giving him my laptop and introducing him to the internet just opened a whole new world to him. I still have my desktop to do my school works, but it will be nice to have a tablet for me to take it to school with me. I travel 4 hours a day in public transportation to school everyday. if I have a tablet, I could spend those 4 hours everyday on something productive like reading technical PDF books. With a tablet, I could have my whole collection of pdf books with me anytime. :) I do have the actual copies for most of the books, but they are just too heavy to carry to the campus everyday. I'm graduating with a CS degree soon. Maybe I could learn to make apps for android as a side job. And with that big screen, movies and games is a must. Haha.
I have an ASUS-mobo-based Phenom desktop, and have been using an EEE 1005 as my portable. I use an Android phone, and this looks like the best of both worlds: a full-size tablet, running Honeycomb for most uses, with the option to dock it into a keyboard for text-intensive work and longer battery life. This should be a dynamite option. PLEASE?!?
I would use it to watch movies while traveling. I would use it to keep track of school documents and note taking. I would also make use of it around the house by controlling various electronic equipment.
As a Computer Network and Network Security major keeping up with the latests and greatest is my way seeing what the future will hold for me. So pretty please pick me!
Reading (Thanks Baen Books/webscription) , web browsing and playing games . Also let my mom use it to see if it can serve as primary machine for her needs .
This would be the perfect gift for my wife. She would actually use it to teach my two kids out of it. We home school and they watch a lot of science videos. With this it would make it more comfortable and mobile to teach.
I am future med student. I am currently wrapping up my undergrad majoring in chemistry and a minor in computer science.
The tablet could be an integral tool to my success in med school. I could definitely use it for recording lectures, taking notes, taking pictures of cadavers and even using android apps to help me study and prepare me for the USMLE. This tablet will be an essential tool for me and will help me save thousands of lives in the near future.
One thing I hope to do in my future career is combine my career in medicine with my love for technology.
I've been sitting on the proverbial tablet fence for a long time. After reading your review of the Eee Transformer about two months ago I decided it was time to buy. Unfortunately no one had them in stock. Now...I'm ready but I'm conflicted between this "best bang for your buck" Asus model and the "everyone has one" Ipad 2. So, make my decision easier by just giving me one of yours...please!
I plan to use it to take notes in Evernote during business meetings and watch videos at 30K feet. Other than that...I may read a book or two...but only if its non-fiction.
I got a chance to play with one of these, and I think they flat embarrass IPads. I want one for both remoting into RDP sessions, and for making Ipads look bad. :)
I own my own business doing onsite computer repair so it would be helpful to be able to access manuels, custom data, googles searches and take payments from a tablet. At home I would most likely browse the web, read ebooks/comic, and watch movies on it.
The vast majority of the time, I think I'd leave it on the table between the television and couch for the whole household to use. Web browsing, news/magazine reading apps, VOIP, Google Music, ... probably lots of uses just on the couch.
Since I currently don't travel much, I don't think the keyboard attachment is worth the cost for me (but I'd look for sales and eBay auctions).
I love the flexibility of tablets for use in the field for the QA and HSE audit work I do. I love that these great tools are just getting better and better! It's about time!
I think I'd use the transformer or any other tablet for school. I'd like technology to be at the point where I have a tablet for my textbooks and my laptop for heavy duty work and that's all I would need in my back up. Maybe a pencil for tests...
I would use it for more easily keeping coordinated with my office when I am working in remote field situations; it would be a bit nicer than my android phone, and much easier than pulling out my laptop all the time.
What would I use an Android tablet for? Off the top of my head, here are a few things I'd do if I won:
The Usual: Tether it to my Android phone and browse the web Take notes in lectures (especially on the Transformer) Read ebooks Play AngryBirds and see the whole scene Watch live TV through my DishNetwork DVR Use Google Sky Map effectively when stargazing
Film Related: Pull up scripts, shot lists, and storyboards while on set Take behind the scenes videos on set and edit it right on the tablet Use the tablet as a virtual slate and track good takes
Photo Related: Review my DSLR photos on a larger screen Edit photos photos on the fly Post them online through tether
As a replacement for his 4-year old laptop. Right now he carries around a laptop and tablet. Pretty much all the stuff he does on the laptop could be done on the tablet if it had a keyboard. Enter the Transformer.
I would use it as my recipe and kitchen computer, as I am constantly having to run to my desktop screen to see the parts of recipes I am working on. I would use it as my reference when I am working on a project away from the computer (building or putting together furniture.) I would use it when I am out fishing as my reference tool on fish, conditions etc (this is how I mainly used my ipad3g before it got stolen.) Sebastien
Pick Me! Pick Me! I would absolutely love to have a Honeycomb Tablet!
I would like one for two main reasons, to watch movies on the go and to be able to administer my work's servers remotely on a nice large screen without the need for a full notebook.
I'd like to say I'd use it for work... but I can't take anything with wi-fi into the secure vault... so, in reality I'd probably use it as a computer replacement when I travel.
like many, I would love to have one of these, or the galaxy, lol... either or. Read ebooks, do some work on the go. Hope I win! Anandtech and the crew rocks!!!
I've been wanting to test how we might integrate Android devices into my company's infrastructure but my suggestion to buy one for IT department testing hasn't been acted upon.
If I were to win the tablet, I would probably never get to use it, however my Wife would love it and it might get me my MacBooks Back and that would be awesome!
Tablet's are really coming a long, but can you imagine when these pack in Tegra 3's or next gen OMAP cpu's. Having said that, I'd be happy to have one of these now, like others I'm a strapped for cash reader wishing to read Anandtech on one of these bad boys.
I would love to have one of these as a lightweight travel companion and for my morning commute. The ability to add a keyboard to the system solves the tablet input problem very nicely.
I would use either as the device I don't currently have. I'd love to able to use and own a tablet as a TV remote, remote desktop, remote tv client, portable internet device. It would enhance everything I do now. I'd really love to have one, but haven't had the funds (or need). The transformer has been on my short list of tablet/nettop for use when I finally go back to school to finish my EE degree.
After seeing what my friend's iPad can do, I'd love to be able to do the same, but have more freedom that Android has to offer.
If you select me to win one of these GREAT tablets, I would use it to play, surf the innerweb, captures some videos, read this forum and other not as kool, and brag to everyone that I know that I got my tablet from ANANDTECH complements of NVIDIA.
Just read your write up on Eee Pad. It sounds like they are only really for minor use like internet, reading ebooks and such. So I would be using it for that. Wonder how well it would handle Android development? Autobots! Transform and roll out!
I actually had one of these and had to return it due to defect. This was back when they were all backordered and the cash went elsewhere. I miss my tablet! The accessories I got for it are all lonely too.
I would mainly use this device for websurfing and email, which I enjoy must more on honeycomb than i do iOS. I own an Ipad, and I use that device mainly for consumption of other things outside of emailing and browsing. I like both devices, but cant afford both.
I am a IT Architect and have been hesitant to jump into a tablet after the failure of the iPAD that I purchased. Apple and I have never been compatible and the quirks were too fun for me. An android tablet would be a lot of use to me. I have a HTC Incredible that I rooted and use for work, but the screen size is limited for productivity...Citrix is just not viable on that size (for instance). So, for me the tablet would do a lot of work related things (ActiveSync and productivity) and I am sure that my kids would love to play Fruit Ninja and what not on it.
I would use a tablet for table top RPGs. There are a number of apps for initiative tracking, etc that would really come in handy, and a few rulebooks are available in PDF format.
I commission utility grade solar tracking applications and it would be great to be able to create a native Honeycomb application for determining solar positioning info. I already have the code - I just need a tablet to test it on.
My dad is still stuck using a Pentium 2 machine that can't even play youtube. All he can do is browse the web using Google Chrome and check e-mail.
My dad suffered from a stroke 2 years ago. Sadly because of it he lost his job and is now poor. He now lives in public housing. He can not afford anything new.
I know he would use it every single day and would love it!
I would use my tablet to cure cancer and create world peace as well as engineer cheap renewable energy ensuring the ability of the human race to succeed far into the future.
If I'm fortunate enough to win I'll be able to read and watch movies on long flights or train rides and completely replace my ancient laptop as my mobile computing solution.
I would like to load it with the technical manuals I use at work and have them for quick reference while troubleshooting. I am in the navy. Playing angry birds when nothing is broken would be nice too.
I would use the ASUS Transformer to actually be productive on a tablet. I love my iPad 2, but it feels like productivity stalls without a keyboard. Plus, I prefer Google to Apple in almost every regard.
I lost my sweet Frisbee last week and can't afford a new one. These tablets are pretty square in comparison but I think I could still use one as a killer throwing disc. Can't wait to get one!
I will probably use it for the rest of my schooling -- much handier and portable than a netbook. Won't be as easy for productivity, but that's really what a laptop is for anyway.
Although... I have the sneaking suspicion that it will probably just be used for web browsing and games. BUT, still a worthy cause!
Thanks for running this giveaway! This will be great!
I'd use one for school. As a teacher, that is. I'm interested in testing out a tablet for storing and viewing manuals and documents, as well as accessing online materials.
besides the obvious fun in its versatility, be nice to have an e-book reader. and would help at work when i have to stand there giving a presentation if i can show of some vid clips.
I've been slavering over the Eee Transformer since it was announced.
I could never justify a stand-alone tablet or netbook on a cost or utility basis, but I've been doing most of my recreational reading on a hand-held for years, starting with a Palm device in 1996...
Nearly all of my study materials are in e-Book formats or online these days. i-devices are too much of a walled garden for my taste, but have lovely displays.
When the Eee Transformer was released with the same display as the i-whatnots, I was half-convinced. With the keyboard/battery base, I can avoid carrying 7+ pounds of laptop & accessories everywhere, which completes the sale as far as I'm concerned.
Alas, the cost and the shortages! And the rapid product cycles, which mean that by the time I can afford one, the next version will be out!
I would use the tablet on trips because it is an easier option than a laptop. They are also great to use at night while sitting up in bed. It is so much easier to just pickup a tablet and surf. I can't wait for Netflix on it!
During travels. Laptops are just thicker and takes up more space, and neither the wife nor I are planning to typing essays while traveling;a tablet would be a perfect companion!
I'm a writer/editor and having a tablet would let me view and markup pieces of other people on my team...while I'm sitting at a coffee shop or just out of the house/away from my desk.
I have never used a tablet before, and I would use it to try out the benefits of this new technology/form factor. I am guessing I would use it as a more mobile replacement for my laptop when I don't need to do anything sophisticated.
I would like to be able to hang around on the couch for hours on end reading Anand's in depth articles on CPU design and trying to understand it all. Sometimes his articles are really complex and it would be great to be able to read them from the safety of a sofa. Why, you ask? Well, sometimes when I read them sitting at my desk I get a keyboard shaped bruise my forehead. It occurs when I slip suddenly into a coma while concentrating too hard on detailed articles by Anand. They start of so intriguing and with such interesting questions that I want to understand, but often end with my face smashed into the J K L key. I have actually ruined three perfectly good keyboards this way. Apparently no-one has thought to introduce a drool-proof model. It can be really painful, embarrassing and expensive to read Anandtech. I am not saying I want him to tone it down. I love the challenge of keeping up and trying to understand it all. I just feel that I would be much more willing to delve into the challenges of chipset design as explained by Anand if I was laying on a sofa with a Transformer in hand rather than perched precariously on a chair over an oh-so sharp, forehead penetrating keyboard. It would be kind of like having a safety net.
Have mercy on me guys! Otherwise I may have to resort to wearing a helmet every time Anand writes an article!
I would totally read this page with one if I had one. I don't have one at the moment, so I can't read this page with one. Winning would change everything!
I have no way to afford a tablet. My cell phone is from 2003. I just can't spend on gadgets. But I would love to have one and develop some software for it.
I would love a transformer, a buddy of mine has one and I really liked the feel of the device. I am a tech that has to visit properties as well as travel for work and would love to have a pad that I could use out in the field or on those long boring plane rides as well as out in the field if I invested in a bluetooth serial adapter to configure cisco devices.
I would lie about the house reading the Economist, playing Chesspresso or at university pawing through my electrical engineering textbooks and checking my email.
I would use it to play my Onlive games (once the APK is released), read books, surf the net, and learn the basics of creating apps for Android. No real good reasons but it would definitely get put to use in my hands. :)
Some of my friends own one or the other of these and I would love to get into some tablet computing but cannot afford one with college loans. Also, these'd be nice for being in the hospital.
I'm a grad student, and I read a lot of academic articles in PDF form. I don't own a tablet now, but I've tried reading PDFs on other people's iPads before and really liked the experience. You can read on the couch or wherever, and the experience is a lot better than sitting down at a desk and reading documents on a laptop. Plus, the charts & illustrations are reproduced much better than on an e-reader like the Kindle.
My old Thinkpad finally gave out on me. Since I mainly used it for web browsing and time-wasting while away from my desktop machine, a new tablet seems like an attractive option.
I would just love this Asus Transformer. It would be a great a great start for me into the field of tablets and it would serve well as almost all Asus product are.
assuming the hdmi -> vga works ok I'd probably use a tablet for giving presentations. much easier than carting around my old laptop. also, I'd probably load it up papers to read
So tired for just using my smartphone due to the small screen since I watch so many movies, and I can't really lug my laptop around on the metro. This would be a solid replacement for both those.
I would probably use the tablet as a laptop/ entertainment device while I keep a less portable desktop computer at home. It wouldn't be too hard using Google Docs to access all my documents from any device and the keyboard would allow me to actually type with speed and precision.
As a entertainment device, it has enough battery to be used for work and play all on a day's charge. It is definitely more portable than a notebook too. Video and audio are played back perfectly fine, and of course web browsing is perfectly normal compared to most notebooks. Not to mention peripheral support in the upcoming updates to Android, which would make it perfect for some PS1 and N64 emulators.
I'd use the Eee Pad Transformers to watch movies and youtube in bed comfortably! No more 15.6" laptop making me destroy my neck to see the screen with horrible viewing angles!
My wife is trying to get her wedding planning business off the ground and a tablet would be an awesome tool for her to use! I was going to get her one, but my car died after 220k miles so the money I had set aside went to a newer vehicle. Please Anandtech, help us out!
I would consider using one at work. Not entirely sure if its something I could use. I know the iPad has several apps that would be very useful to me, and I would imagine a Google based tablet would have equivalent apps or software as well. I guess that's what happens when you don't keep up with the tablets because quite honestly I find the price way out there for them. They are overpriced, underpowered computers and I don't believe for a second that mobility constitutes such a high price tag. Cost wise these manufacturers are making a HUGE PROFIT on a device that cost next to nothing to manufacture and distribute. It reminds me of the Cell Phone Industry, smart phones that cost $300-$600 without a contract is highway robbery, especially when the components in most of these phones cost pennies to manufacture. Add it all up and its blatantly obvious that these companies make a killing on something that when broken down has nothing inside it that is difficult to manufacture. I find it astonishing that most people who own a Smart Phone or Cell Phone seem to think the technology behind them is futuristic and highly complicated/sophisticated, when the truth is its not.
Oops looks like I went on a rant. Well if you have read this far, Congrats I am done! :-) Cheers
Would love a tablet - either Honeycomb or iOS - to use for reading PDF's from the office at home and covering e-mail. I'd be able to leave the big heavy 'laptop' at work! Still too pricey to buy on my own, pick me! Pick me!
Mostly, I'd use it to cozy up to my wife while I read anandtech and other news, but I'd also use it for remote controlling xbmc and checking my email while I'm out.
I'd use a Linux tablet in the context of my job as High Performance Computing manager. Currently we use laptops and smartphones for mobile troubleshooting, but a tablet would be a much better form factor than the cramped screen of virtual keyboard of a smartphone (don't get me wrong, we love them despite the limitations), and still be far lighter to tote than a laptop.
I have three kids and would love to see them fight over one of these... just kidding.
I want to use it for home automation, controlling and monitoring the power in the house, being able to see the security cameras and all kinds of things. Looking forward to the day when I can get one.
This is the tablet I wanted the ipad to be. I would love to have a tablet with android. Chatting on gmail would be easy and I would read my comics from comixology and graphic.ly on the tablet.
I'd do what I do every night: Try and take over the world. I imagine it would be a lot easier with the mobility and resources that Honeycomb has to offer.
I'd use it to read some forums, anandtech, dailytech, etc while watching netflix, like my old netbook that died in the airplane when TSA broke the screen...
Use it for? As your reviews have said many times before - its all about the content consumption.
Web Browsing is high on my list, but I've got a number of technical books and manuals that I need to go through. Therefore eReading would be a major usage too.
Probably the biggest use for it I'd have is reading graphics heavy PDF's, Software manuals now all seem to come on pdf's and printing them is basically not possible. Ahh I remember the good old days when I bought games with giant 500 page full color manuals I could curl up with... Now I'll settle for curling up with a tablet... Besides that I'd use it for web browsing and watching videos.
Either of these would come in extremely handy at work. We can log into our network through a Citrix receiver which is available for the Android platform.
Thank you for the contest. I'd try to figure out how to use the tablet before my wife and kids (6, 4, and 2 years old) took it over, after which I might not see it again until something went wrong. :-)
If I won this tablet, I would give it to my fiance who is in college. I would find an e-reader and i would search for her text books for the next semester and load them into it that way instead of carrying around a 20-30lb backpack, she could carry this instead :)
As a college student breaking into web development and programming, I'd love to play around with and learn a new platform. Here's hoping I get the chance!
It would make my life some much easier to have a tablet to work on than trying to read e-mails and remote manage servers on my phone. Plus it would be Great to watch movies while traveling as well :)
As much as I enjoy my rooted Nook Color, having a piece of hardware that was designed for the full Android experience could only increase the satisfaction I have in being anti-productive away from the computer.
In a little town known as Bangor there has been a recent outbreak of ravaging bears. They roam the country side in search of chicken steak or human. Those that have survived have done so using their remaining jars of honey. They will throw the glass near the bears area and it distracts them long enough to run away. I am running low on honey and I do not get this Tablet with Honeycomb, I am sure to stand no chance! Please... please give me a chance to survive.
I (and my new wife) will be cycling around france for a honeymoon, and we really don't want to bring books or computers. Especially me since i'll be carrying everything...
The 2010 Honda Civic has essentially two dashboards: The upper, essential one contains the speedometer and the fuel gauge. I wouldn't obstruct that one. The lower, non-essential one contains the odometer, the RPM meter, the gear indicator and the cruise control indicator, among other non-essential things. I'd stick an Adroid tablet there in front of that one. I dream of tethering the tablet to a "MiFi" device, such as the one available from Virgin Mobile, and then running a "glance only" app on the tablet, such as the Chumby viewer, to make my long commute a little bit more bearable.
I am an avid gadget lover. The advent of mobile devices that serve as an all-in-one technology has impressed and driven me (and millions others) into following the tremendous innovation that companies like Google have brought to this computing arena.
Since I already use an Android device (Nexus S), use of a Honeycomb tablet would be a natural extension Google's mobile environment. I would use the device primarily for business, learning, exploring, and socializing.
For business, I would use my QuickOffice, ThinkSpace, and Mindshark apps for productivity and idea sharing. For learning I would use my tablet to read How Stuff Works articles in a large screen browser, world news on NPR, and my techie computer books on Nook and Kindle apps. For exploring, nothing beats the versatility of Google Maps as well as other explorer apps like Yelp. And with the small weight of the Asus tablet, i can take it with me on my international trips to Latin America! Lastly, it is important for me to stay connected with my family and friends. That is why I would be using my tablet to log onto Facebook and Skype. Video chatting with my 64 year old mom in Mcallen, Texas will never feel so close. (I live in Chicago.)
Technology really makes our world so much smaller, closer, fuller. Let us all enjoy what these tablets can do for our enjoyment of life. :-)
I'd like one of the tablets to use as an everyday device, they are more advanced than my iPad and would like to experience them for better comparison with iOS.
Hands down, these are the best Androids out there - with features and price ratios.
With my own experience with my only apple product, the iPad - my recommendations are more towards apple iOS products. But I'm always opened to new and better products.
My experience with my own Android Galaxy still makes me nervous about the operation and ease of use in comparison. So my future purchase will either be an iPad3 or maybe an Android if I know or feel that its on par with the Apple iPad.
The number of apps is not as important as the quality, but its operation of the device that is most important when I am doing business.
This post will serve as my entry (good luck, me!).
As to how I would use a Honeycomb-based tablet, it would essentially be my "Arm-Chair-Computer"; using it to look up things while watching TV or looking up tips for whatever Xbox game I may be playing. I'd also take it with me whenever I'd be somewhere I'd be waiting for something where a notebook PC wouldn't be convenient, e.g. waiting at the doctor's office, waiting for my mechanic to work on my vehicle, etc.
Being in the Navy I travel quite a bit both on land and at sea. A tablet would be very useful for me when out to sea due to its small size. Thank you for your consideration.
I realized my "entry" wasn't really by the rules, since I didn't say how I would use it. I currently have an iPad and an Android phone (EVO3D), and am interested to see if an Android tablet can offer better intergration than the iPad does with respect to my data and day to day functions. Key points will be e-mail management, document handling and editing (including presentations), and access to online photo repositories (i.e. Picasa). Also, the iPad integrates really well through Citrix to my hospital's information systems, I want to see if an Android can match that (unfortunately, 4.3" is too small to test realistically). All in all, I want to see if Android tablets can match or beat the iPad in my workflow.
I will give it to my mom after I buy the keyboard, all she does is surf the web and watch YouTube, and some typing. her laptop has been dying for a long time, the battery is long gone, have to keep it plugged in, and if you hit the wire it will turn off lol, cant close the lid anymore or the LCD will fall off, it just barely works lol it a old Dell I bought her back in 04 I think it was honestly don't know how its lasted this long lol
was thinking of just buying her something soon but really short on funds right now :/
even though I would like to get this for myself, love my mom so I can wait
I'd use a tablet to complement my other tech for school, allowing easier access to the internet and browsing pdf databases of research journals and such. Still waiting for a tablet with solid pen input and recording abilities for digital note taking.
This would an awsome mobile gaming platform for my road trip to Las Vegas in a few weeks. I am not a big fan of the psp and ds due to thier small screens.
I have many impressive leather bound books on my shelves. People come from miles around to watch me stroke my beard thoughtfully. I am an important man with many important friends.
I would use a Honeycomb tablet to compile a list of my many past achievements, and to document my ongoing achievements in real time. We speak of achievements like the time I beat an old nag in a footrace.
Or the time I convinced the Olympic committee to accept Buzkashi as a medal sport for the 2012 Olympics.
If I had a Honeycomb tablet I could make your lives easier. I mean all of you. All of you people on Earth. Your lives will be better. Seriously, you'll wake up and those boils will be gone.
Also, if it is pity that moves your hearts, my wife is dead, and my health is failing rapidly, and I can't afford the electrons necessary to stay on the Internet for much longer. You must send me these tablets so my children can learn something about the world while I am still alive. If you don't do this, they will be raised without a father in an Internet full of counterstrike servers and weird Japanese adult movies.
I see these as great companions while traveling. The tablets with a keyboard dock serve as a great replacement for a chunky laptop. And they are light enough to carry all day round!
I don't even have a smartphone, yet. It's not that I can't afford one. I just haven't been able to get excited about the search for ways that a tablet can improve my standard of living. I guess that I am just getting old! Maybe winning a new tablet would raise my technological well being.
Would love to have a tablet to use for digital textbooks and taking notes in class, which involves more drawing diagrams then writing. Alas I have no money for such things.
use the Eee Pad while commuting to & from work on metra. that way, I wouldn't have to stare at the back of the person sitting in from of me or having to shut my eyes to pretend to be asleep to avoid any conversation at first then actually falling asleep and missing my stop.
Id use it as a note taker in school. My laptop doesn't do the job when it comes to battery life being an i7-720qm with a radeon 5650m and a 6 cell battery. I have a hacked nook but typing on it would be a chore for note taking. Plus its a hack job so its not the most stable thing. Also I'd love you forever
My wife wants to show portfolio photos to her staging clients in the field (real estate). An ASUS Eee Pad Transformer would provide that technological panache to reel her clients in to signing up for her services, n the spot. Laptops are just too bulky and no longer represent the technologically advanced business entrepreneur.
I could definitely use a (portable) machine to carry with me when I do on-site tech support. Having to rely on broken or incomplete machines to have a working internet connection when I need to look something up has bitten me in the ass more than once...
I could really use either one of these tablets. Great stuff! Have use my wife's Ipad2 off and on, but everytime I get a chance to use an Android, it seems like heaven.
I would be able to use the tablet both for use at home and work. Many things with my work require review and checking of others peoples reports, which requires a computer. A tablet would allow me to utilize more work from home.
My entry...no, my plea shall be presented in the form of a very real story, a story destined to transcend mere pixels and punctuation and become reality.
"A package arrived today. Hmmm... A curious tilt of the head outwardly revealed my inner bewilderment. I hadn't ordered anything lately, had I? However, this was a package, so I did what any true resident of the modern age of digital store-fronts and weekly front-porch cardboard encounters would do, I opened it. I looked down on that packing material as it parted like the Red Sea and beheld the Poseidon's golden trident of all tablets. The black box within seemed to pulse with radiant energy before I realized it was simply the mind-altering, rhythmic flow of adrenaline with each heartbeat. In that moment an epiphany struck like Zeus's lightning, hard and burning. I knew what I had to do. Not moments later Newegg hands frantically handled and shipped a box containing a single Eee Pad docking station. This time there was no pause, only the chime of a doorbell, a short yet serious walk, and the tape gave way to blade. Docked and ready, silent my Transformer sat. Words poured onto it's vibrant screen, yet there were no frivolous colors shining from its surface, only the black and white of meaning. It typed like no other tablet could type and in time my great weapon had been forged, one to bring an Empire to it's knees. A few hours spent making a bump key proved all to enjoyable and the adrenaline returned that very night at the priting press of my employ. Usually occupied by shadows at such nocturnal moments, it danced with sight and sound and the smell of acetone and ink...and for the first time since my life changing discovery, my flat lips curved into a crooked grin as I held the first copy of a powerful book. A single digital copy and one hundred soldiers of paper and print were sent into their respective planes of existence, a few to Apple headquarters, 1 or 2 to numerous online tech-blogs, two of many examples. It spread like wildfire like I knew it would, especially among people of logic and reason, a simple message yet laced with potent truth, in short: the iPad is NOT, in any way, the best tablet anymore. Apple has fooled you all with matte, aluminium mirrors and the smoke of 1000 burning marketing experts. And just like that, the spell was broken. Several years later that same screen that was once so serious displayed in brilliant splendor the pages of Anandtech, the place my great journey had started those few years ago. Reading its reviews and deliciously over-technical articles on the latest tech, my door was unceremoniously kicked in by an old, skeleton like man. L-shaped, chrome plated steel glinted in his hand and with the raise of his arm the tip of a .50 caliber round pointed menacingly, with crazed, shaky conviction. I'd seen this man before, yet in a less tattered pair of jeans and a black turtleneck. Mr. Jobs they'd called him. Who was he now but a forgotten memory to most? He screamed the question all downed, helpless men ask themselves after falling from the highest of high priestdoms, "Why?!" He had no more words on how to hold a phone, only that one, hoarse cry. As the pressure from the tip of that beautiful hand-cannon pressed my forehead back I answered without a hint of fear, "I brought them the truth. Nothing more. Plus...Anandtech needed a decent reason to give me a free Asus Eee Pad Transformer." Then I closed my eyes and closed my Eee Pad dock with one. small. click."
I would use the Eee pad to carry out research on the impact of using wood burning stoves on asthma in Honduras. Currently, we gather questionnaire data on paper, because entering the data in a laptop is too cumbersome for recruiters. But paper forms then need to be entered into a computer, and there are all sorts of problems with that, from recruiters who incorrectly fill out the paper forms to errors during the transcription process. Moreover, we measure lung function in the process using a spirometer (currently connected to a laptop). The whole setup is cumbersome, and could be replaced by a tablet that could simultaneously be used to fill out the forms and perform the spirometry (I've already contacted the spirometry company and they are working on a version of their software and an interface that would work with Android tablets).
To cut my power bill and do my lite computing tasks on the couch (Browsing, light emailing, mobile gaming, etc etc). Also to show off to prospective buyers (technologically inclined people) how easy "technical" devices are to use, to close that technology gap.
I am on the road away from my wife very often. If I had a tablet I would use it to see my wife every night when I'm in the hotel even when I can't be there in person. :)
I am in education, where iPads are the overwhelming standard. Winning this Transformer would allow us to evaluate other alternatives without having to use funds from an already strapped budget.
I have been using personal computers since they were called micro computers. I really believe that the tablet represents a sea chance in the way most of us interact with the internet, i woudl really like to find out more about how this kind of interface appliest ti me.
What would I use the tablet for - Angry Birds; Web surfing on the couch; showing off photos; & writing up Bible studies for High School Sunday School classes.
I am a new dad and and cannot afford an android tablet at this time; however, if i could, I would learn Java and the android accessory hardware API and begin a career as an application developer in order to better support my little girl and her awesome mamma. Gotta run, baby bath time calls. Thanks Anand. (Oh, and if i win, ill also play videos and little games for my 4 month daughter. She seems mesmorized by disney and other childrens web sites).
The use of the Eee Pad Transformer is pretty much limitless. I would mainly use this for my start up business. Instead of carrying a pad and paper I could use this to enter data, I could show potential clients all that can be offered through pdfs and such on the tablet instead of carrying a bulky laptop or having multiple handouts which in turn will help cut my cost of printed material and save trees.
I would love to own one of these babies. I'll take it to work with me, on the train, in my job, during my work hours and after work. It will be a nice piece of technology to have available all the time instead of being in front of my pc.
I really like what they've done with their new tablet, it works just as well as an Ipad2 and gets to do all the stuff the ipad can't. I think the software once updated will take better advantage of the camera, as the Ipad works way smoother, but once they perfect that, I can't see why anyone wouldn't get the EEE transformer at this price range
that being said, sign me up for a chance to win! = )
I'm a head-end tech for a cable company, would love to have a tablet to test connecting to receivers and modulators and for troubleshooting customers tv's/internet connections.
Imagine how suave it'd be to not have to constantly string cables from a table to whatever your connecting to, constantly bending over trying to find the right height to use the laptop.
If I were to win a new tablet, I would ditch my current laptop and go mobile. Mainly by matching a wifi tablet with a Verizon MIFI so I could use the tablet rocking a 4G connection!!!! Everything I use the laptop for could be replaced by tablet.
My laptop recently died, and doing any kind of mobile work has been a giant pain in the ass. I've been using my phone (Thunderbolt) wherever possible, so I've made the transition over to Android for most things. Prior to getting hit with some bills, I was looking to replace my broken laptop with a transformer for work/play.
I do not own any portable or mobile device (not even a cell phone). I would love to have a tablet to browse the web, read books, watch movies, and listen to music without having to be tethered to my desktop computer.
Whenever I can I borrow my father's tablet for when I run my dungeon's and dragons game. It saves me time and paper by putting all monster stats on the tablet! So helpful and having one of my own would be great for the times I can't use his!
I would like to use one of these tablet to help with my personal business. I hope to be able to use a tablet to help during my presentation as a visual aid using a variety of graphs, charts, flash base animations, and much more. It will help to bring about a very professional demeanor, possibly help me grow my personal business.
Considering what has been released lately with ARM and tegra linux tools, I would love to hack one up and work on getting ArchLinux running on it! Cheers, anandtech!
I would use the tablet as a modern coffee table book. Keep it in the living room and surf the web and run apps in my spare time and to entertain friends.
I'd love to replace my aging Macbook with a Transformer, for just kicking back in the backyard or in the den or at the coffee shop, and for more substantial use on trips.
Haven't tried the Transformer in person but I would like one for reading ebooks, using Subsonic, and Plex apps to view music and videos from my unRAID server :)
Shoot, I'd bring it to D&D games loaded with my character sheets and notes! It's also good for shooting questions to the DM or another player over an IM client on the sly. I could also use it to load up resources like Pathfinder's web site for any rule disputes (even if they end with "Well I'm the DM and THIS is how it works in this corner of the d20 multiverse.").
I've been hankering to buy one of these for a while! but being a poor college student and what not makes it a little difficult :-p Definitely use it to browse the web while at home, and maybe even take it to class!
I would use the ASUS Eee Pad Transformer tablet chiefly to surf the web and consume media. I'm disabled and I think the smaller tablet form factor would be a large help in comparison to the old (Dell Inspiron e1505) laptop I currently use. Hope I win. :)
This would be great for just jumping on the net to check something really quick without having to get onto my PC or laptop...being lazy and all sometimes. :)
use it as the best fucking cookbook ever. With the cookbook app that I wrote. Which would make me super happy to be able to use on a tablet versus my shitty old phone. :[
I'd use the Transformer to help evangelize the use of Android in our State's community college system (I work there in a regional IT department) as as a component of our drive to enhance teacher and student resource access (also, it would help lead towards my secret goal of encouraging the development and use of in-house e-textbooks to help reduce the amount of financial aid debt our students incur).
I would read technical books on the way to work during the 50 min subway ride. Unfortunately, the kindle is not ideal for flipping around pages in a book.
Can you at least filter out all these giveaways that isn't for non-US readers? It would be quite easy to do. I'm silly in thinking that anandtech.com is a global site of course. There is actually companies that make a living delivering stuff, up to container size, quite cheap to any place in the world. But if you insist on giving only to the US, don't flaunt it to everyone.
It would exist as a portable research device to supplement any sort of media consumption (who was that actor, where do I know them from?), or as a light internet browsing / gaming device.
Potentially, it would be used to create various lists of items to pick up at the grocery store or keep track of scheduled vacations or trips.
If I won a tablet, I'd use it instantly to write my reports while on the move. Right now I have to do it the old fashioned way (pen + paper), which is really a hassle!
If I were to win one of these tablets I would put it to use on my trip to Europe this fall. I'm interested in a tablet to organize and track travel locations through online maps with photo's and location details. good luck! and thank you!
My wife is in Australia for the summer doing research. I'd love to be able to keep up with her via googletalk (text, voice and video) and Skype, when they finally get video going.
I'd also like to explore the realms of coding online (e.g. with Cloud9) on an Android tablet, and the convertible Transformer would be *perfect*.
I've never had a tablet before so I'm not 100% sure how I'd use it, but I'd love to be able consume news and media away from my computer as well as get to try out e-books for the first time! Thank you for the opportunity.
I spend a lot of time in front of my desktop computer. I don't own a laptop or tablet, which I crave to have every single day. It I had a new honeycomb tablet, I would take it everywhere with me... watching TV, waiting at the airport, waiting in line.... the possibilities are endless.
Well, here is my entry. I'd like to have one to be able to use at work, (nurse), to be able to display photos and articles without the fight with our hospital's site blocker. I'd also use it at home and on the road for lite gaming and movie watching.
I'd ... probably sell it to get more apps for my iPad. Because the state of synths on Android is sad, and makes me sad. :(. But it would be cool to win! Maybe I would sell my iPad and use it, it seems like it'll be a lot faster than the iPad [I have an iPad 1 ...].
I've been using my old laptop to throw netflix onto my television via VGA cable. It's a double bummer, as I have no means to surf and watch movies. If I won this tablet, I'd finally be able to do both.
The dock that allows the screen to fold over like a netbook is a great idea. The additional battery in the dock and IPS LCD makes this a no-brainer over all the other cheaply made netbooks.
I would use it for everything possible, to keep in touch with family, checking emails, social networks and more, I know there are endless apps out there, would love to try them out, my favorite part is that I would be able to take it anywhere with me unlike my desktop, thank you for this great opportunity!
Would love one! Have never had a tablet of my own to try out and I've recently gotten an Atrix so I've been having a lot of fun with Android. A tablet added to my mix of goodies would be awesome!
I want my 9 year old son to have this tool for learning. It is an e-book, a computer, a social network, an encyclopedia, and much more...all in a small, thin, and light package. What better tool could he have? Winning this would give him a fantastic computer he would not otherwise have.
With a name like Transformer, the only possible use is as a mounting surface for this Autobot logo sticker I've got laying around. I would subsequently name it Blaster, and I would use it to play "The Touch" ALL THE TIME.
No, you are not allowed to ask why I just HAPPEN to have an Autobot logo sticker laying around. Suffice it to say that I actually do have one.
I think my daughter would absolutely love it. Ever since my wife got a laptop, shes always finding a reason to jump on it when my wife isnt, so this would make an excellent gift, and just as she likes to borrow her moms laptop, I in turn could borrow this when shes asleep...or something lol. Just know if one of those tablets came here, it would be put to good use! Thanks!
What better use for a Honeycomb than to produce the sweet, sweet honey of Android bliss on a tablet in conjunction with my Android phone, Chrome browser on my PC, and new G+ account, all connected via El Goog's magnificent G-Mail service?
On a related note, if this Transformer is half as amazing as Transformers 3, it'll be worth telling others to get for themselves.
I will use it as an ebook. I usually read, technical books, while on the toilet but the books get wet and stuff... Plus whatever concepts I don't understand I can certainly search for it online.
The Honeycomb tablet would replace my aging netbook. It's more powerful, lighter, sleekier, & just much better all around, even if it's only about an year old.
Easy - I'd bring it to court with me so that I could get some real work done while waiting to take my clients up, and if the docket was taking particularly long the ability to get on the web would lessen the tedium.
I would use it as a way to keep myself and/or my family entertained while traveling. Lots of traveling coming up this summer, and there is no better way to keep kids entertained then by letting them watch movies or play mindless games while on the road. Best part is no little fingerprints on dvds and no little toys cluttering up the car. Less mess, less stress sounds like a great way to spend a road trip.
I am interested in developing applications for android so if i won the give away I would use it to test my code. I would of course also use it for entertainment of course.
It I would win, I would use the Asus Transformer to: 1. Use it for multiple thing. I would use it for email access and web browsing. 2. Play Pandora and Slacker on it, because I can't live without my music. 3. Use it for Movies on the go, and use the HDMI to play content on TVs 4. Use it for buisness, playing music files and scores for clients. 5. Buy the Dock, so I can use this to its fullest potential. 6. Display Pictures to show friends what happen in Vegas with the Facebook app. 7. Connect it to my Verizon HTC Thunderbolt with the "Mobile Hotspot" feature. 8. Brag to everyone in town, that I have a great tablet that is comparable, if not better, than the iPad!!!
This Tablet will open a world of possiblities, and I can see myself with one traveling the country (or at least my city).
I'd like to win because I've been dying to get a tablet for my family but I have lack of funds to do so. I love to read and write and I feel like a tablet would suit me perfectly. My mom is always spending money on books and if I could just teach her how to use the Transformer she'd be all over it. I can also start my Honeycomb application designing as I have on Apple in the past but have long since had an Apple device because it was stolen. This transformer would go to alot more use than the above stated as my whole family would have access as I would rarely leave the house with a tablet unless I was going to class... P.s. thanks for the giveaway, hope to see some more cool stuff very soon.
I would use it as much as possible. Alarm clock display, eReader, remotely control my media player, internet browsing, ultra mobile computer, Angry Birds, spending way too much time on Google+. You name it.
I currently have to use my phone to look up things and check email from the comfort of my recliner. One of these would transform the experience completely.
I gave up my desktop about a year ago. I've been using only a laptop and my Samsung Galaxy smart phone for surfing and document writing with the occasional movie streaming. I Transformer Tablet would be so wonderful as I have to share the laptop with my wife. If I won a Transformer, it would allow me to watch movies, play an occasional game, and satisfy my lust for apps without the need to upset the wife by kicking her off the laptop or strain my eyes on the phone. And it would be the first time I've won anything and that would just transform my life right now!
I would like a tablet to have a mobile platform larger than a smartphone to surf the web, check email, watch videos, and keep updated on social networks.
Need a tablet for my wife. She's an autistic therapist and the kids she works with do a lot of hands on. Tablets are the best way to go because of the children apps out there that require interaction. The kids like the immediate response they get when they do something right when they touch the screen. Very good tool with positive re-enforcement.
I'd love to win one of these tablets! Instead of carrying my laptop everyone I could just use the tablet. With the recent purchase of our first home...Money is obviously tight. Winning one of these would be like winning the lottery for me!
I'd love a tablet to do my surfing on the couch instead of in front of my computer. I sit in front of a computer all day, and I find myself falling behind on personal tasks just because I don't want to sit in front of one at home. A tablet in the family room would almost be fun.
I would use a tablet as a netbook replacement since it could pretty much provides me with 90% of the netbooks functionality (based on my personal usage of course).
Well I couldn't wait for this one so I had to preorder one. :) Have been using it for some months now and I can just say what a fine piece of hardware that is usable to almost everything :) Not as clumsy as iPad... and the dock function is very nice when you have to write alot. The transformer is missing 3G but it doesn't matter when you have a Android phone also, you just hot spot to phone and use 3G (I'm using LG Optimus 2X) If you wanna play around a little with the EeePad you can do many things ;) Now i have my complete music/video collection everywhere i go and my work place is right by my side at all times. well spent $.
This would complement my home set up rather nicely. It'd be great to have a tablet as a secondary computer for consuming media (like reading ananddtech articles :D) and email when the main desktop PC is occupied.
I help out at a local charter school. When a friend showed me his Android tablet, the first thought I had was that it would be a great replacement for some books, educational software on PC, and would even allow students who have to are ill to see the lecture through streaming video in bed. The school already has video recording hardware, but since no one has a tablet, it's not an easy sell. This school does a lot of learning "in the field", so if each student had a tablet, they could photograph the plants and natural areas they study, share that media with each-other without having to return to the school, and even look up their subjects online as they found them! With one of these tablets, I'd set up some free educational and recording software and show how tablets can be useful for other than just casual Facebook users.
My fiancee and I have been thinking of buying a tablet for quite a while. One of the main selling points for us is being able to use it as an e-reader. Winning the prize would be incredible.
I would use one of these devices for both work and play. I'd take the Transformer (with keyboard) to meetings, and play some Angry Birds when I have some time to kill.
I'd use it to replace the aging eeePc i'm using and i'd also use it at work as a mobile tool while walking around the construction job. Lot easier to know where you're at and what's there when you can see a blueprint right in front of you!
At first I was hesitant to accept that a tablet had any place in my life but after using my android smartphone and becoming very efficient with the interface, I can see the usefulness of more processing power and a larger display.
I'd sure love to see some better integration for the home. An infrared output and perhaps native support for one of the HD wireless output options so the display can be easily duplicated on your big screen.
While I'd try to use it to be more productive, the truth is I'd probably have a hard time prying from my 3 yound kids' hands. The oldest is 6 and they have all already surpassed my wife's technical abilities. :)
I would keep it on me at all times in case I ever get into an accident and end up lost in the woods. It could keep me entertained for a while while I sit and wait for something to happen...
I would use it to eliminate about 1/2 of my paper usage at work. I run off two copies of packing slips for customers currently. I recently got an app put together that will let me set the packing slip up on a computer and send it to an Android tablet, let the customer sign it, and then print a single copy out for them from the truck, or if they have ability and would rather, I can just fire off an email.
However, the Nook Color running CM7 that I've got is just a tad too small for this, some of my customers have Godzilla sized fingers and/or signatures... a 10.1 tablet would probably be perfect.
I'd probably go through around 3000 fewer sheets of paper every year, which may only be around 6 reams, but paper not used are trees that don't need to be cut down :-D
I travel alot and my 17" lappy is a pain going through airport security as well as being too large to use comfortably on a plane. Love to get a tablet!
If I had one we'd use it for everything... reading, websurfing, even as a cookbook. My wife and I have been wanting a tablet for a long time, but right now with paying our student loans and things we can't justify the expense. Sometimes being financially responsible sucks...
that tablet looks pretty sweet for internet video on the go and being able to use logmein on the go to do some serious troubleshooting when needed. also this combined here in san diego with a 4G phone means doing whatever connected to the internet at all times.
I'm an independent Android developer. I haven't done any Honeycomb/tablet work because the tab emulator is painfully slow and there isn't yet enough of a market to justify purchasing a physical device as a dev tool (I do Android work primarily for fun and self-education, not profit)...but if I were to win one of these tablets, that would change.
Well, I would love to use it as a control input for DCS A-10 or BlackShark!!!! Touch controls for my favorite flight sims in concert with my PC would be awesome!!!!
Beyond that, general surfing, video watching. Oh....and I would definately have to buy a Star Trek uniform and pretend that I am looking at the 'numbers' on the warp core conduits or something.
I would use it to show in real-time the status of the overall equipment efficiency of the production equipments installed where I work (pharm company) to our dinosaury managers and directives so that they can drool and be amazed by technology.
You are just metatextual enough. I'm not sure the world is ready for a world of fanfiction where Chris Sims of the ISB and Comics Alliance and Anand Lal Shimpi put on luchador masks and team up against the twin evils of Paper Launches and Kevin Smith's Work in Mainstream comics. And then proceed to the sloppy makeouts.
I'm a college student and lugging my laptop around from class to class can get annoying especially when i need to use it in class and the pull out desk is really small. Having a tablet would greatly enhance my learning experience at school. In addition, I would also use it as an ereader, to watch movies, and access facebook and google +.
I respect Android as a fast-growing product and a high-quality special-purpose Linux distribution but I would install a general-purpose Linux distribution. My tablet applications would be as follows: (a) Casual mobile computing as currently found on Android and iPad tablets. (b) Software development in a variety of languages (C/C++, Java, Python, Flash, etc.) (c) LibreOffice writing, spreadsheets, presentations, and drawing. (d) Full multimedia entertainment using a fuller set of media types than what is found on the iPad.
I haven't settled on a distribution yet but I am leaning towards Ubuntu with a Unity or Gnome desktop. Other future possibilities include Fedora, openSUSE, Mandriva, and Mint. I might try them all eventually.
If i got the Transformer I'd take it to school and start yelling at it to transform...If it doesn't do anything after an hour I'd use it to take notes.
I'm fat and out of shape and having a tablet will make going to the gym more palatable as I will use it to watch videos while on the treadmill or elliptical.
To test (and hopefully put into production) the device for medical application usage for users, and once that's done, using it for whatever I CAN use it for. Data consumption? :)
I would use the honeycomb tablet to keep up with my work while I'm away from my main computer. The convenience of the tablet would be awesome! As well as being pretty freakin sweet in general.
I would use this tablet to keep up-to date with AnandTech, play all the free games I got from amazon app store free app of the day and @ work in the datacenter the rear facing camera with evernote would come in handy!
I just wouldn't ever get out of bed. EVER. It's bad enough with a smartphone...browsing, watching movies and typing would be so much nicer on a tablet.
I have been playing around with android development. Just finished making a program to keep track of my schedule at work, little things like that. If I had an android tablet I'd probably have most fun seeing what it can do in that regard. Honeycomb has alot of nice new things to play with.
I work at a software development company, and we do a lot of work with a bunch of different mobile devices around the world. We do not yet have an active software product for a Pad device, and winning this one I could donate it to that cause!
I'd replace my netbook with it which is beginning to show its age. I'd use it mostly for web browsing, email, listening to music, and video playback. Oh and Angry Birds of course. I travel a decent bit so it would be nice to have as a travel companion.
I'd use this for keeping the kids busy in the car on our upcoming summer road trips across the country and to find things we didn't know about with google maps along the way.
Oooh... If I got this, I would immediately 1) go out and buy the dock thing 2) smile to myself at the idea of having a device that cost (me) only 150 yet satisfies both my portability needs (I only have a desktop) 3) seek out all my Steve-Jobs-is-the-messiah-the-iPad-is-His-host friends and watch them squirm with jealousy.
I would most likely use it to control all my Entertainment devices and as light weight Internet Laptop on the go. My wife would most likely use it for music or video while cooking.
Are these like the stone tablets I used in school to learn my numbers on? We etched them with a hammer and chisel. I had to upgrade from a 5" tablet to a bigger one after the numbers 6 through 9 were invented. This eventually led to the discovery of the base 10 number system when we could etch 2 numbers onto one bigger tablet. Then paper was invented and the tablets became obsolete.
If I were to get one of these tablets, I'd probably use it as an eBook Reader, Android testbed dev. platform, Internet, as well as some Angry Birds. ;)
I'd love to win an Android tablet. Uses would included eBook reader, magazine reading, HTPC remote, gaming, and all the other amazing things you can do with an Android tablet... Cheers!
Since getting rid of my vastly underpowered Netbook, Id love to have a Asus tranformer. I could use it as my interim system and also to develop Tablet specific apps. I have a great Strategy game in early Dev right now and would love an actual testing environment.
Besides using the system for general tasks such as checking email, web browsing, etc. I would work towards employing the system towards educational purposes. As a graduate student who also teaches undergraduate classes, being able to employ a tablet for teaching could open new possibilities. The portability and lighter form factor would provide easier accessibility while traveling between classrooms and make it much easier than using a full size laptop for presentations, lectures, and general issues with student concerns. Also, I am conducting research in the field of exercise physiology and this research not only entails mild to strenuous workouts for the participants, but also consists of a number of survey/interview type measures. Being able to consolidate these measures onto one simple tablet form factor would be highly beneficial and convenient for the participant. Also, being able to have a tablet propped somewhere on a treadmill (where a laptop is obviously too much and a smartphone just doesn't cut it) would allow the participant to receive easy visual feedback measures regarding his/her workout.
This is just a quick brain storm for possibilities. Of course possibilities are always endless.
It might make a good replacement for my AOA 150-1570 netbook with a broken screen. It is hard to use with a large black web near the center of the display.
Tablets seem like a solid investment to make in mobile computing in the classroom. As a engineering student this will open up mobility for simple tasks.
Well first of all it would most likely prevent me from committing suicide by giving me something to do when my wife wants to spend "quality time" with me by forcing me to watch random reality TV programs that give me strong urges to leap through our 3rd story window.
I would love to use the pre-installed Polaris and get a .pdf reader to break free of my laptop. If I just want to review powerpoints or .pdf articles, it's way easier to read without an attached keyboard. Now if only I could afford one...
If I won a free Transformer, I'd never leave the couch again. I could order food delivered right to my lap and still maintain a link with the outside world.
I would like to win a tablet for many reasons. This would be my first tablet, and would give me a chance to learn what is so great about tablets. I would be using this tablet primarily for games and internet browsing; but may go into some programming aspects in the future. This tablet may also allow me to assist my parents and family members with their phobias about technology. Thank you for your consideration as well as offering all the contests and wonderful site. Keep up the good work.
I would basically use a tablet to replace my 4 year laptop. Just light browsing and document editing. Probably would start reading books if I used it as an e-reader.
I'd use it with my kids. Some apps just for fun when on the road, others to help with learning math, spelling, etc. It's a great device to help connect with them.
Help my bleeding edge early adopter addiction. I know I don't need it... cant afford it.... and they will be obsolete in less than a year when Tegra 3 Kal-el comes out, But I still desire one. ;-)
I want one of these SO much! I would use it by ALWAYS having it with me; haha. When I need to type, responding to email on lunch break for instance, I have a keyboard. When I don't I can take it off. I can't believe it took as long as it did for someone to do this right.
I was the internet manager at a auto dealership until a severe work load to pay imbalance forced me to return to conventional sales.The dealership does not provide any type of electronic sales tools or internet access for communicating with customers.So..I have decided the tablet would probably work for my needs and I would prefer one for free.Having an i-phone I would probably buy an i-pad if I were to purchace because of familiarity and a pile of apps and my contacts lists.I am not an Apple fanboy and would not mind getting away from them,Free is a great motivator..
I already own two Transformers but a Galaxy Tab would be nice to have as well. There's a special needs friend of mine who would benefit greatly from a tablet, so it would go to him instead.
If I were chosen, it'd be going home to the parents and siblings.
Personally, I write [code and/or documents] too much to see a tablet becoming my primary mobile device. However, I think it'd be perfect for everyone at home.
Not to mention, it might eventually convince me that tablets aren't necessarily a creativity-sucking, consumer-centric, soul-destroying detour on the road of computing history. ;)
I really want one of the transformers :) I am about to head back to school, and I think it would be pritty good for notes in class with Evernote. I especially like the Keyboad dock since it has that extra battery.
I would use it to leave comments @ anandtech, read an ebook on the bus, watch vids on a flight, listen to podcasts, check email and IM almost everywhere, read spreadsheets in bed and recipes in the kitchen.
I would use the Honeycomb tablet for a new job as an IT manager-- the uses are abundant. It would prove a useful tool in regards to so many areas of work while being able to be on the go. I could only hope!
I would love to finally be able to use my mobile devices for more that a mere 10 minutes at a time for web browsing before my eyes start to burn from the small screen. Not only that, but at least I can finally take a break from laggy manufacturer skins and play with the awesome AOSP Honeycomb at its fullest.
I would give it to my mother who's permanently disabled from a cryptococcal meningitis infection so she can perform basic functions like checking email and browsing the web from her chair. She would also love it as a book reader and a media player, especially since she uses special music to treat her tinnitus.
The 2 hottest tablets that don't start with an "i"! I'd take either one of these over the iPad any day, but the Transformer's optional keyboard makes it a game-changer. And rockin' the hottest SoC currently shipping - Tegra 2 - means it'll burn through any current apps and games and still be viable 2 years from now.
Now, I'm sure there are those with nobler intentions for this than I, but with a text editor, spreadsheet, and a bit of custom software, this could be the best tool for dungeon mastering available.
Started using this website for benchmarks and now I'm using it for so much more! First time participating in this giveaway; would love to use one of those!
I am actually quite excited about the form factor. At my University, there is some demand for experimentation of tablets. But the big problem remains. Academic faculty's #1 job is writing (which really-really requires a keyboard :). I wish to explore if the Transformer form factor can bridge the advantages of a tablet form factor with the requirements of a keyboard for the extensive writing demands of the academic environment. I will not drop my own money on this project and the school is looking at iPads. But if I win one, it will go through some seriously extensive testing for the specific purposes of graduate school education.
I am basically starting my life over. Many failed relationships and bad choices have resulted in me taking a look at myself and reevaluating the way I do things. One of the best pieces of advice I've received is from business philosopher Jim Rohn. "Work harder on yourself than you do on your job." That is the ticket to success. One of the most important things to do to improve oneself is to read, which will (if reading the right material) cultivate one's personality into one that is successful. This would be the best use of this tablet. Books on the go, giving me pertinent information that is accessible to me no matter where I am. Thanks.
email, web browsing, remote admin, eBooks, video, gaming. I really don't know haven't spent much time on tablets or newer smart phones, how I'd use it depends on how well it performs in different areas.. all I really know is if it runs PBSkids games my 5 yr old will love it.
As an IT professional, it's always a good thing for your IT guy/gal to have a smartphone and a laptop. Well I don't currently have a laptop.
I would use the eeepad transformer as a work/test machine. I would get the additional keyboard and try out the OS, use it for work related applications like VPN and VMware apps. Also, many of my clients would love to have me demo tablet technology in general for autoshops, law offices, and construction jobs. If I get this tablet, It would give me the tool I need to make this project happen for my clients.
My 7 and under baseball team will use it to track stats. ESPN iScore is pretty slick. In the offseason the kids will fight over it to be able to do thier homework on it.
Wonderful giveaway! I would use this on campus ...I don't own a smart phone and this is preferable to lugging around my laptop. Thanks so much for the entry!
I would replace the laptop in the family room with this. It would be perfect for the web browsing and picture viewing that is currently done with that laptop.
I'd like to use it to manage my digital life between laptop, desktop, and phone. Also would be great to use for ebooks and maintaining notes for class!
I'd like to say something like entertain my two year old, be more productive, or to stay connected on the go. While I would do all those things I think I would really just be more mobile with my porn collection.
I would love to do a hands on comparison of two competing Honeycomb tablets. I would like to see how this tablet stacks up in usability against netbooks from the same company.
I think it'd be pretty neat to utilize it as a multimedia controller for my home theatre. Using it to browse DVD's and/or music would prove much more efficient than trying to use i/o across the TV screen :)
I would love one of these for many reasons. As a computer science major at Virginia Tech the EEE transformer would be great to be able to throw in my backpack for a few classes that don't need to really take my laptop into.
I am an avid reader of nearly all the articles here on Anandtech. Thanks so much for continuously providing such great in depth tech news and reviews. When friends of mine are considering getting certain new products I love being able to direct them straight to this site.
I also am greatly involved with cyber security and information assurance. In the future I would love to have a tablet that I could try to set up as mobile penetration testing platform using something such as Backtrack 5
Ever since I got an Android handset in March, I've been pretty set on the platform and would love some quality time with an Android tablet. If I don't win this, I'll keep returning to Anand to read your great tablet reviews! (Even if I do win, I'll keep coming back.) :)
Excited for the chance. I purchased a Galaxy tablet, but the Sprint folks make it cost ineffective to own, I took it back. No slam on Samsung, because I believe they are now making some of the best home and small business tech out there, but they need to choose their partners a little better. No sign-up fee guaranteed, but my first bill had a whopping $35 fee. Because I had the waived fee documented Sprint backed down, but then they wanted me on a higher data rate plan. NOPE
Too it back to BestBuy after trying to deal with Sprint. I picked up a Wi-Fi Transformer, and nothing but glowing reviews of the device. No service provider, so no third party trying to rip me off. BestBuy was not punished as they kept my business, as it was their contract wording that provided a safety net for me with Sprint. This was my second horrible encounter with Sprint, so I guess that makes me the learned idiot, as there will never be a third.
I would give the honeycomb tablet to my mother, she is in her 50s and is on disability now, she has arthritis really bad, has had lower back surgeries, and needs knee replacements, and shoulder work.. sorry for the sap story but i gave her a netbook (ASUS Eee PC, n270 cpu, 1gb ram) but its hard for her to use it, its small and she usually has to sit in a big comfy chair with it resting on her belly and she gets cramped up and finds it painful to use which saddens me.
I think a touch based tablet would be far better, she could just hold it with one hand in her lap, and just touch the screen to type, point at things with a finger, i think itd be much easier then using the small & cramped keyboard and touch pad on the netbook. If i could afford one i'd just buy her one.
We'll thanks for the give aways and reviews anandtech!
I'd love one of these for web browsing! Maybe I could find a use for it in my college classes too.
I always thought it was a silly concept to browse on this kind of device, until I got my first Android phone a few weeks ago. Despite the tiny screen, it's quite easy to browse with the right software. Keep up the cool giveaways! I'm all out of dough to get one on my own, heh.
I'd love an Android tablet! I'm a programmer & an amateur photographer, and have some cool ideas for a couple of photo apps that would tie-in with a DSLR in the field.
I'd love a honeycomb tablet because I'm a Google man. I sold my soul to the evil overlord a few years back, and it would be nice to do some of the things I do on my froyo phone on a larger format. Things like:
Email, navigation, Google Music, Gdocs, task and calendar, and android games.
One of the biggest things I think would be nice about a tablet form factor is playing emulators. I have them on my phone, but they'd be so much nicer to play on, say, a Transformer since I could directly connect a PS3 controller.
Right now, playing old NES and SNES games is difficult on my phone, so I still end up lugging out my NES and SNES (yes, I still have them. Been blowing one cartridges for nigh on 20 years now) when I'm feeling a bit nostalgic.
From what I read, Polaris office is awesome, and I like the possibilty of interfacing with my PC via Logmein Ignition.
I'd be sweet to get the whole setup for $150 (because I'd have to buy me that keyboard: usb and an extra 6 hours of battery? I'm in!)
My Eee Pad would be used to surf the web on its rather massive 1280 x 800 IPS display and to watch Youtube videos because unlike the iPad, it has Adobe Flash. I would also use it to keep up to date with the latest Anandtech articles, of course.
I once had an Atom-based carputer, but it was lousy. When the Evo came out, I knew exactly what I wanted in my car: a bigger Android device! If I win, the tablet will be integrated into my car (but still removable)
I volunteer at an animal shelter where a tablet would facilitate keeping the volunteer corps informed of ongoing issues (supplies required) and problems (repairs needed and ongoing treatments for specific sick animals). With 60 to 90 animals at any time, every day brings a different mix of Problems to communicate to the shifting mix of volunteers that come in to feed and clean-after the animals and to maintain and improve the shelter.
I'd use it for reading ebooks and magazines via the recently released Zinio app for tablets. Looks awesome! Would also be good for watching movies on plane trips.
I would most definitely make use of this to take notes during my classes instead of lugging around my 5 pound laptop and power cord to every single one of em. It would be so much easier.
I would use a honeycomb tablet as an internet browsing device, remote control, and development platform. I feel tablet could be a great home interaction device with its sleek design and good connectivity, and would look into connecting it via IP to an Ethernet connected Arduino and a Linux server.
i will use the new honeycomb tablet as a portable replacement to my laptop for short travels and when going to coffee shops etc to stay up-to-date wth news, emails, do some light work, youtube, shows etc.
Oh yeah, bluetooth module on my arduino or 5 more and I will be controlling the whole place. Got plans for a weather station and I would love to play with the Andriod Open Accessory Dev kit.
If I had an Eee pad, I'd probably try to see if I could get Ubuntu running on it. A fully functional laptop with 15 hours of battery life would be amazing.
i'm dying for a tablet to use with my 2-year old. he's beginning to use my phone more and i think a tablet is much better medium for educational apps & gmaes!
My wife is old school - books, journals, hard book calenders etc. I got her a Velocity Cruz e-reader but it sucked and she never used it, so hopefully these tablets will convince her to ditch all those books :)
I'm a sound mixer for film and TV and having a tablet would allow me to keep a digital log instead of a paper one. I have a laptop but the form factor makes it too impractical for this use. An electronic log would make it much easier to organize and send to other departments as needed (and would be much easier to read than my handwriting =) ).
I am an unemployed developer hoping to get my hands on a Honeycomb device like the Asus. It's obviously a luxury for me to purchase one right now, but I'm hoping to use it for developing Android ADK hardware along with Android apps. Being a die hard Android fan, I'd love to contribute back to the open source community in some way with my work. Anyway, ill cross my fingers and hope that I hear from you soon. Thanks!
And I could work my on-line stuff at the dinner table and not miss a beat. Or a meal. I'll be so popular with the family!
Seriously, I work a 3.5 day week of 15 hour days, all on-line. This puppy would give me so much mobility ... and fulfill the promise of my unlimited data cell plan. Yes!
I'd definitely use a Honeycomb tablet as deeply-useful web-connected information/media tool for certain parts of my house (such as my living room, where a computer is not present).
But otherwise, its primary purpose would be using it in class for taking notes - my laptop is awful, runs out of battery really quick (20-30 minutes), and is too large and unwieldy for a classroom setting. I noticed several people in my classes last quarter using tablets for notes. They're beyond-great tools that'd actually help me keep my thoughts organized and approach the class in a more prepared manner.
As a media consumption/light browsing device, what else is anyone going to do painlessly with a tablet. A bonus is that the Transformer actually has relatively sane pricing & sans cellular gouging.
Honeycomb tablets are the most functional tablets on the market. I'd put my Transformer or Galaxy Tab through it's paces. I'd like to see if I could survive just using a tablet and nothing else for a full month.
My dad has recently become bedridden, and it's difficult for him to even sit up to use a laptop properly. I'd love to get him a lightweight tablet so I can videochat with him, so we can send each other email, and he can putter around online and stream his TV shows. Having a flash-capable tablet would really help.
I had the pleasure to use the transformer for a week when my roommate left on vacation. Its a pretty slick toy. My favorite thing to do on it was to use Splashtop to remote log in to my PC and stream videos music, and browse the web with amazing speed anywhere I was in the apartment. I connected a Bluetooth mouse and even played Starcraft 2 on it!!!! (windowed mode, try it, it works!) Makes me want to get my own, but this is more convenient :). Thanks!
The real question is, what would I NOT do with it! I would love it, my wife would love it, my little girl would love it, and quite conceivably my dog would love it.
I would absolutely love a honeycomb tablet cause watching tv shows/movies with a companion netbook is terrible and I use my nice laptop to play the movies and tv shows. horrible situation
Recently lost a system so I've had to give up my laptop as a replacement for my family, getting a tablet would be a great way to replace the system being a broke college student :P
I'm actually on the market for a tablet for my 2-year-old son. This will take the decision-making out of the process if I'm able to win one. He had a blast playing Angry Birds at the store even with the lack of coordination.
Personally i'm a road warrior. i'm planning on installing the Citrix Recever app on the tablet and getting a mify 4g mobile hotspot. That way i can connect to my company's xen desktop environment. If i'm meeting with clients or on the road i'm able to get the job done. Also some fun in between work would be nice, the awsome screen made for watching full HD movies and some games here and there, hey "All work and no play makes jack a dull boy" :-). Also that new google maps features come in really handy when figuring out how to get quicky between point A and B.
Thats how i'm planning on using the Table, that's if my wife ever lets me use after she sees it.
The tablet would be mainly used for school since I no longer have a laptop. It would also be my "do all" machine with all the free games that Amazon gives away. And it would be a wedding present. :) I'm getting married on August 13th.
I coach a college debate team and am looking for ways to more efficiently and conveniently access information. We have been looking at the tablet form as one possibility, but our budget doesn't allow for purchases that may not pay off.
I would use these to browse the web at home, updating facebook and whatnot, and would also use it to access my desktop when away from the house to sync music/videos.
I'd use a Honeycomb tablet to learn more ancient history. I have audio lectures and books on various devices (desktop, laptop, windows phone) and paper books, but having a tablet would make it easier to study and take notes. Babylonian and Greek texts would be sweet on a Transformer.
We've got a baby on the way, so in a few months I doubt either of my wife or I will have the energy for any dedicated browsing outside the nursery. Plus, I heard that reading Anandtech to our baby will stimulate her brain and aid in her path to geekdom.
I'm a college student who has needed a new computer for a while now. A tablet would be perfect but sadly i don't have the money to buy one. So winning this would be perfect for school.
Great giveaway! I'd use mine as an e-reader and mobile entertainment machine. It'd also be great to type up ideas for my writing projects on the go. My handwriting is sketchy at best.
It would be awesome to play Angry Birds all day ....err I mean, do very important work in helping my job be more efficient.. so I can play Angry Birds. :P
I support offices and homes with hi-end audio and video streaming. I'd love to test out how an Android tablet would fit into this mix. At the end there will be cake.
My desktop computer broke over a year ago, and I really haven't been able to replace it since. For about 9 months I've been using this iphone as my primary computing device, and a tablet should be a step up. I'd be able to navigate things online and enter/edit text a bit more easily, as well as read ebooks.
I think they should do more promotions like this. It could definitely help push Android in the tablet market. The stop adoption rate has let to very little development for Tablet specific applications. As a upcoming Android phone developer I would love to win one of these.
I would use the tabs to help start a research lab in computer forensics. Nothing like shiny new hardware to attract good people to investigate cyber crime.
Please pick me, I've wanted to get a tablet to use when I fly my airplane but I got laid off recently and now I can't justify any purchases. I'd love to provide a video review of either tablet in the cockpit.
I do a lot of remote support for my customers. A convenient form factor like a tablet would help, as it is easier to carry than a full laptop. Currently I do some of this on my phone (Samsung Infuse 4G) with LogMeIn Ignition, but the screen is too small. That would be much easier to do on a tablet. I am torn about which one I would like better, as I have heard good things about either tablet. I really like how sleek my new Samsung Infuse 4G is, so I might prefer the Galaxy Tab 10.1. But either would be great for my purpose.
Lets not forget about entertainment, gotta stream my Crunchyroll and HBOGO!
I'd love to have one of these for my daughter for watching videos on long car trips to the grandparents. I also want one to read journal articles while doing research for my PhD program.
I hope its allowed for my wife to register and comment too as she really wants one as well!
I would attach a hang glider and a mifi to it with duct tape and remote desktop into the pc that controls my fully automated war-locomotive and use it to direct electrolaser and railgun attacks at the vehicles of my enemies as I soar above the fray, riding the thermals like an eagle in an eagle costume. They'd all be like, "that's my car" and I'd be like "can't hear you, I'm too busy destroying your car with my Eee Pad Transformer". That's provided that my enemies park their cars within sight of a train track, which I will ensure that they do.
I would love to have one of these tablets because it would definitely be a step-up from my netbook with helping me take notes at school! I am letting my mom borrow my netbook currently until the semester starts, but if I can be so fortunate to win a tablet from here, then I won't have to take it back from her and I can probably start planning on rooting (if possible; not too keen with Android). This would be the ultimate college gift as I had to pay for EVERYTHING once I got into college.
I have Android Envy and you can help me solve it. My wife and kids all have Android phones and get to play with all the "sweet flavors" of Android. But since my work provides my phone, I am stuck in Blackberry jam. I love honey, so a tablet full of Honeycomb would really sweeten my life. The tablet would stick with me everywhere I went allowing me to stop using paper and be greener at work and, like I said at the first, would allow me to personally experience the ooey goodness that is Android. I feel that it is my just deserts that I would be the one in my house with the best form factor since I was the last to get an Android device.
I would love to use an EeePad in my work as a field archaeologist. TabletPC's are going to revolutionize the way archaeology is done in the field as soon as they become cost effective. As yet, only a few archaeologists in the world are using Tablets, and I'd like to be one of the pioneers.
I would integrate it as part of my media hub in my living room. Although I am sure I will spend much of my time hunting for it as my son will grab it to play Angry Birds.
I have 2 kids that love Zoodles. It is their favorite game on my phone, but the screen is so small and of course we are talking about an OG Droid so I would use it for educational purposes for my children as well as video chat with them when I'm off on some business trip.
We have been looking at these ever since real ones came out. My wife spends countless hours in Chemotherapy every week this would be mush nicer than her old Asus eee net-book. it has been a good friend for over 2 years I know she would LOVE this.
I would use this tablet to bridge the gap between my desktop and my mobile phone. My wife is always talking about wanting something more mobile than a desktop but more powerful than a mobile phone but at an entry price of 400-600 we just can't afford it.
I would skype to my family back home, chat with my friends, watch television, and stream content to my television. My wife and I would cook using a recipes application and we would read with the kindle application. We could both send email and get work related tasks done. It would really be helpful to have such a device.
That's what I would use with this device and that's why I want this device!
Also, I can't say what I'd really use it for because I just don't know, other than web surfing. I guess the only way to find out what I'd do with it is to win one, natch ;)
My wife who used to hate all things computers has for all purposes taken my iPad (which received as a gift). If I'm lucky I get maybe 10 mins on it per week. The Asus would be really helpful.
I would use the tablet in many ways. First, my wife can use it for her surfing and shopping. Then if possible use it to download books to read. I will use it for banking, and keeping track of my stock portfolio. When my grandkids are here they can use it for playing games and music and since there are two grandkids they can fight over it. LOL Then, when my daughters are here they can use it for whatever they do. Having another way to handle day to day items will make life easier and keep the grandkids happy.
I will graciously accept, if I am chosen to recieve, said gift in the giveaway. I love my machines fast and smoking, ASUS is generally there, along with the other big giants. Again, donner and blitzen will ride with me to the EEE pad of love, if the sweet creator, errr Anandtech I guess, LOL, picks it so.
Rock on Bon Scott, we need only live once,
*fingers Ozzied up in the air"!!! For those about to rock ............................. F_I_R_E
Been waiting to get these tablets for some light gaming and multimedia, hesitated to get the tablets as they're expensive and i'd rather wait for ice cream sandwich. So i would really loved to get any of the ones you're giving out as a start into tablets.
If my name was selected, I would use the Asus Eee Pad Transformer as an entry point to learning the Android platform as much as possible in order to do two things: First, share the knowledge I gain to teach others how to use their Android based tablets via authoring articles / how-tos; and direct contact with my clients who ask me to tutor them in the use of their tablets. Second, given the unique feature-set of the Eee Pad Transformer; I would contribute towards the Android Marketplace with "apps" that would help maximize the utility of the dual tablet and laptop.
If I won, I would give this away to my brother. He has no portable computer of any type, but I think he would make great use of it. Since Android supports Flash, maybe he can even learn to program things for it.
I am a college student in networking engineering and just got my CCNA , I need something small , portable and efficient and this tablet fits the bill. I go to NC State University and grew up next door to Anand if that helps lol, The Modena was fun.
I would use it for internet on the road when I won't take my laptop. I love my m14x, but it isn't light. I either want to use a tablet, or maybe one of the ultrabooks as an alternative.
I'd probably use this so I don't have to pay silly amounts of money to Verizon for their data plans on smartphones. Mobile applications and such. It'd also be a good way to keep my girlfriend from buying an iPad. :3
i would give it to my beloved fiancee, so she can take notes and post updates on the net for the rest of us, while volunteering her time to save turtles in Tortuguero
Apart from the typical activities like web, e-mail, and other stuff on the go... I'd get my hands of the development environment and see what kinds of neat things you can do in regards to software for tabletop gaming and game mastering: Interactive maps, puzzles, combat trackers, character sheet databases, and other handy tools all at your fingertips. If all worked well with the first, I'd probably expand to allow multiple Honeycomb tablets to network together to allow the game master his own master tablet and the players their own. Nothing like being able to limit information between players, keep secrets, and a popping few unexpected surprises without passing paper notes (which always clue players in.)
i am a network engineering student at NCSU in Raleigh NC. I just received my CCNA. I could really use this tablet because of its portability , efficiency, and power. I could use it for school/work and when traveling. I also grew up beside Anand if that helps lol, The Modena was fun.
I'd loosely follow the customer service app they run at the Apple store and make Nvidia an assload of $ enabling people that had shitty jobs the ability to play angry birds while they take orders, deal with customers, and all the other mundane crap you'd wanna take poker breaks in between doing.
I'm currently on the nook, but upgrading to a honeycomb-native tablet would rock. Plus, it would he a help in my work too, and we all want more honeycomb-native apps, right? :)
I've been wanting a tablet for some time now, to replace my now broken iPhone, and have been wanting to switch to the Android platform as a geek and software developer so a Honeycomb tablet would be amazing to win as a prize!
I have been really interested in tablets, but they are a little too expensive to justify buying one. I have no idea the extent that I would use it, but I feel like there are so many things I could find to do with it except just surfing the net.
It would be very fun to mess around with to see what it could do.
Well first off I need a device named this in my life. I have an autobot tattoo. I love the android os and would like to have something portable with me to document things more. I have been trying to keep better notes on beers for rating but sometimes typing on my droid phone is just a bit to slow.
I love honey I comb my hair But I would love to play around with the wireless internet with a non ms system in camp this summer to see new things on a working ASUS
I would use it to start seeing how well the tablets are becoming laptop replacements. See how long it is before I can hangup the laptop and just have a dekstop and a few tablets lying around the house.
I am a Network Engineering student at NCSU in Raleigh. I am in need of something lightweight and energy efficient and I think this fits the bill. I would use this product at school/work because it would not be a burden to carry all day and it has two different ways of input via touch or keyboard. I grew up next door to Anand if that makes any difference lol. The Modena was fast !
Use it as a reader, watch movies, browse the internet, play games, dabble with some amazing apps from the marketplace. I guess that's pretty much why I would use it for.
I have used an iPad (not owned) and I have a feeling that an android tablet would be much better. I would use it to read sheet music while I'm playing piano, Reading books, playing games... hopefully much much more!
I'd use it to install BackTrack 5.0 ARM edition.. I really want to see what that can do and my HP tablet PC gets a bit toasty running in my backpack while scanning.
I would use it for... everything... currently using a phiremod nook color, but Kids stole that awhile ago. A new Honeycomb tablet.... would be awesome...........
I have a heavy old Dell Inspiron 6000 which is probably slower than this and being a chronic pain patient I could really use a lighter mobile device with the same capabilities of a laptop/netbook.
Just had my 18th wedding anniversary and forgot about it until the day of! A new tablet would go a long ways towards me not having to sleep on the couch any more . . .
I'd use it in my real estate appraisal business, collecting facts about the property being appraised, performing market analysis, and using GPS mapping in the field.
If I won, I would load up the tab with all kinds of aviation related apps because I am a flight student. Flight fees are expensive! I hope you pick this poor student
I'm about to take a job where i will be traveling most of the time. A tablet would be perfect on the plane or in hotel rooms where I don't want to lug out my huge laptop.
I guess I could go into how I would use each and every app, but that might take a while...
I would throw it in my backpack and bring it with me as i travel all over southeast asia and china for months. even a tablet deserves to see the place it was born, right?
My wife wants something bigger than her phone to look at facebook while on the couch...guess that means I will have to win one of the others for myself :-/
I'd install the Citrix client first thing. Then I'd be able to go to the baseball games and "work from home", while I do my sys admin job sipping a beer!
i'd probably use it for mobile media, particularly when i have to do a lot of waiting. Use it to put a lot of my notes in , so i wouldn't have to bring a lot of notebooks
I'm a 2nd year pharmacy student and the bane of my studies is taking biochem notes. The professor is completely aware that she's teaching too quickly got us to write out property notes, "to instill a sense of prioritization." Well, I'd prefer to prioritize after I get all the notes and we students just don't have the time to record and review her lectures. I need good notes the first time I write them. I need something with a keyboard and a large touch screen. I type MUCH faster than I write, but I need to draw molecules and mechanisms and jmol/chemdraw aren't as efficient as a pen and paper. I would really like a Eee Pad Transformer. I'll buy my own stylus and keyboard :)
Need one for taking notes during an upcoming month long course I'm taking out of town, need portability and long battery life. Also want one just because they're cool!
I would take the Transformer and get the extra dock to bring to school with me to take notes. Being a student and only working fifteen hours a week I could really use this to help me. Currently going it the old fashioned way. Besides using it to do all the awesome things that Android has to offer. Flash on the go and awesome apps.
I want one because they are just plain awesome! My 2nd generation iPod Touch is about to kick the bucket (sketchy sync and battery life). I use that as my web surfing gadget right now and to be able to have a larger screen to do that on, plus watch movies and run all of the excellent Android apps would be killer.
I'd use it to replace this iPad. I'm a huge fan of open source software and I'd love to be able to replace the completely closed iPad with something a bit less restrictive. (Even though Google hasn't released the Honeycomb source yet - shame on you Google!)
If I would win this it would end up in the Wife's hands as she really wants a tablet. We tried one that we found on the clearance area of our local BX but it did not have access to the Anroid Market place so we took it back.
I'd use it to replace my aging notebook, and keep up with Android developments. I currently have a Palm Pre running webOS 2.1, so I need to know what the competition has going on.
I developed a web application for our business that would run beautifully on a tablet like this. The orders are entered at the customer site and they receive email confirmation on the spot... Would be a great addition to help our small business grow.
You know, to be honest, I would use the tablet to show students in developing countries the power of technology and what is out there for them, to encourage them to study and work hard so that they have something to work towards. I want to show them that a life outside of the rural developments exists. This would be a great way for me to show them how immense an education is worth. Technology has come a long way... it's time to put it to good use.
I pretty much would kill for this tablet. I got a samsung captivate a little while back. I want that but bigger. Since I'm going into college, it sure would be cool to have a tablet and not my ancient computer!!
I would use one of the tablets to interface with my PhD research project so that I can monitor and adjust my experiments and simulations remotely. This will enable to me to stay out of the lab for longer periods of time and spend that time with my wife instead. I will also use it to develop android apps for use in our lab, enabling a new level of productivity and flexibility. Plus, these tablets aren't made by Apple, an added benefit in my opinion :-)
Count me in for a chance to win. If I do win, it will be one of the first smartphone like platform I will own. What better choice to start with than an Asus Transformer!!!
Well to be honest, I would use the tablet for pretty much everything. Music, browsing the web, gaming, video, work, school, etc. It would be perfect since my laptop has now kicked the bucket.
How would I use a Honeycomb tablet? I would become an app developer. I've been wanting to make games. I see a big opening in the tablet space for some more traditional mobile games as opposed to the casual ones dominating right now. I originally wanted one of the Transformer tablets, but they've been so hard to find in stock that I decided to wait for a Tegra 3 tablet.
I would use this tablet to help me in my fight against gothams seedy underground element! The tablet would let the commisoner sent me up to the moment emails and status updates!
Me winning this tablet would help me show that goody two shoes in metropolis who's city really is the best...
I've wanted to get one of these to test-drive it for possible work applications. The keyboard could really help with the applications that we are using.
I would love one of these, I would use it to read Anandtech! I would also like to have an Android Tablet, I don't own any tablets and have never used Android, I'd really like to see what the green robot has to offer. Thanks!
I would use it on medical rounds in the hospital with my patients to show diagrams of their disease process and explain what is happening to them. Load up X-Ray's or other visual data to allow them to physically see what I am trying to explain to them.
It would of course be a repository for medical and references. The ever popular epocrates and a pdf version of sanford antimicrobial guide would be two goto sources right off the bat.
I'd spend too much money on game apps to play on it and not get my work done... I mean I'd use it for work and be a productive member of society when toting it around ;-)
Just how Asus "transformed" the netbook market. they are doing it again to the Tablet market - maybe they didn't start it this time, but they are shooting some big cannons across the bow's of the early entrants to the Tablet market. Sinking a few, and taking some "big bites" out of others.
I would use it - and this particular OS - to take close-up pictures of beehives and breakfast cereals [if they still make it] and blog about it, with sentences that would be near-impossible to parse.
Not really sure what i would do with one. I've been watching tablets, and they just don't seem useful to me. Who knows, maybe I'm wrong, but at the current prices I'm not ready to pull the trigger for something I'm not sure I would like. It would be really nice to win, and I guess if I don't have a use for it, I would just pass it along to someone else that would like it.
I am always on the go and the tablet would be great for travel and my commute. I ride the train every day to work so it would get a lot of use during the week and would fit easily in my backpack when I travel. I would greatly appreciate and get a lot of use from this tablet!
honestly just make it a part of the house. It'd sit on a shelf somewhere, get picked up, used to check e-mail, or imdb to answer that burning "who was in that damn movie?" question, or manage the netflix queue, and then just get put back down wherever I happened to be.
Plans for usage of a tablet would be for e-mail, web surfing, light gaming (think "angry birds"), possibly some online shopping.....generally just making accessing the interwebz a little more convenient for me and my wife.
I have drooled over android tablets since I got to play with one recently. I would use one of these tablets in every facet of my digital life:
1. At work - Android supports VPN and I would be able to coordinate meetings, join websessions, even edit google docs strait from my tablet. This would probably be my biggest gain from this. 2. At home - Let's be clear, watching TV and browsing the 'net has become a lazy command center for us all as we have phones, laptops, TVs blaring at us all the time. This would help me finally stop being buried under piles of tech by consolidating to one device! 3. Gaming - Love me some of the new RPGs and racing games that have come out. More please! 4. Kids - OK fine Daddy will let you play for a few minutes.
I'd take it everywhere. I don't have a laptop, but the Transformer with the dock would be amazing. My PC is my work horse and I don't need a desktop replacement, I pretty much would just use it as a browser and media player. My phone's screen is too small.
I would love to win one of these honeycomb tablets because I think I would use it in the best way. I work in IT right now and it would be really cool to have one of these to help the employees of my company use their computers better. Also, I could use it as a teaching tool and show other people what android is capable of and just how great of a technology these tablets are. I recently lost my brother and have been struggling with it alot and this would just make my year, because he, as well as I, loved technology and always wanted to have the latest and greatest.
while the transformer would be great to use around the house, I'd especially love to have one to use with travel this fall - large enough to be useful and usable for anything I could want to do, yet lightweight and easy to carry!
I am a photographer and offer voluntary services to NGOs. This makes it difficult for me to manage money between photography gear and mobile computing gear that can help me edit pictures.
I use online apps in Chrome browser for editing pictures (keeps costs really down). If I can get a tablet with Honeycomb, I can install chrome and the online apps on the go (in trains and buses) and do more work on the go. I really plan to by one of these powerful tables so that i can better manage my editing and storage work for photography.
If I won this tablet, I'd love to make use of it for reading books, doing some writing while I'm away from my computers. Not to mention using it for games and videos. Looks to be a pretty sweet combination.
I would use the Asus Transformer to test mobile learning applications. As an Instructional Designer, I find myself needing to consider the mobile platform more and more in my eLearning development.
I Would use in any way possible because I've never owned a smartphone, tablet or e-reader or let alone used one. I'm a huge geek when it comes to PC's but I've never gotten around to picking up any one of these fabulous devices.
As a technical instructor, this would be ideal for organizing my reference materials, presentations, and such while allowing me to roam freely in the classroom.
I'm interested if this could replace a laptop for my usage (email/web/Citrix/movies/video). I would also like to try it as a book reader Nook/Kindle. It seems like it could be a really convenient device.
I would give it to my wife and hope she'd like it, because she is currently in the market for a tablet and has her mind set on a specific model, but if she doesn't, I'd keep it for myself and enjoy poking around my first touchscreen device.
I'd use this tablet to explore what all the fuss is about, since I've not yet seen the light on tablets, and to experiment with the ways that it might be useful to me in my life and in projects—both work and personal.
I would sincerely appreciate it if you pick me (really on behalf of my co-worker). His son is autistic. He's a Marine and can not afford a tablet. Recent studies have shown that tablets have postively impacted kids with Autism. I can't afford to buy him one.
If I'm selected, I will be more than happy to prove that I'm giving this to my coworker. He's not an Anandtech poster/user.
I would use this tablet to video chat with my family. We live far from any relatives and my kids love to talk on the phone with their grandparents, cousins, and aunts and uncles. We even have a couple of relatives deployed right now. This would be a great way to keep in touch!
I will use it for magazines, comics, books, and travel. Plus chatting with the new Google+ hangout with friends and colleagues. Plus I can take pictures of all the people who don't have one and me laughing at them not having one.
I'm a web developer and I have been wanting to get a tablet to start working on mobile/web applications and this would be a great starting point for my work!
Wireless Site Surveys, I do them all the time and with one of these bad boys, it would be awesome and so much easier on my hands then holding a laptop!!
I'd use it to browse the web for game guides while playing games since the radeon 5870, an RMA replacement from the 4870x2 from the first one that was RMA'ed, can't alt tab to save it's life.
I'd go on a total pig killing spree so as to finally appease the anger of the explosive birds and save the planet from total avian annihilation.... or maybe read an ebook or two... something like 'great expectations' or the like.
I'm a power user, and I do a lot of heavy computing on my Notebook. So my notebook is a big 17" desktop replacement. I would like a Tablet so when all I want to do is browse the Web and check e-mail I don't have to start-up my big heavy laptop. Like say at night when I'm on the couch watching crappy TV, I can use the tablet for keeping up with Anand Tech.
I'd use the Transformer to usher in an era of world peace. Clearly, with a Transformer in my hands, cruel dictators around the world would change their evil ways. Petty theft against any and all would be deterred by the knowledge that I carry a Transformer in my book bag. Villainous figures in general would much rather sit back and watch the weather channel than dare an encounter with me and my Transformer.
I would use this tablet as my primary internet device while not in my office at home. The small screen of a smartphone just doesn't cut the mustard anymore.
With another semester's worth of textbook expenses approaching, I would use this tablet as an e-reader to save money that I directly need to pay for the increased tuition my school will be charging next semester. The close integration of Google services into Honeycomb would make it an ideal laptop replacement as well - saving me the energy of hauling my current laptop around and also cutting my power consumption.
Her office is in the process of going paperless since her Boss got an iPad2. Would be nice to see if having honeycomb in there could change some opinions. Also, we travel a lot via motorcycle, and having a thin, lightweight tablet instead of a laptop would be great!
an item like this would really enable me to actually accomplish all that pesky writing i need to do by making it MUCH more convenient than lugging a laptop around just for word processing. and good mobile internet capability would help me manage press releases for my theatre company. *puppy face* pretty please?
If I won one of these I would finally be able to start development of a home automation/video intercom system I have had plans for since tablets started gaining momentum. Current tablet style home controllers are way over priced and are tied to a brand of products. I want to build an extendable system that can handle x10, zigbee, etc. communication standards.
This tablet would be immensely useful for my upcoming clinical rotations as a 3rd year medical studentl. I'd use it to access medical journals and uptodate while in the hospital.
I would use it to write on the go, since my home computer is an unwieldy beastmonster of serious doom and travels worse than an especially neurotic cat. Not to say I don't love it madly.
But is it a schwanky, beautiful, and seriously portable Honeycomb tablet? No, sirs and madams of the hypothetical jury, no it is not.
Wow, what wouldn't I do with one of these awesome tablets? My first goal would be to create my very own Live Angry Birds video using one of our trees and some of our guineas hens that like to hang out in said tree.
I would love one of these bad boys! Would be great to use on the couch while lounging around or anywhere else in the house where i need some quick info--like in the kitchen for a recipe or even in the shower for some background music!
Since I already have a Xoom, I would definitely give this one to my father. He has lusted over my Xoom since the day I bought it, and I would love the opportunity to give him one of these. Thanks.
I would love to have a tablet to take with me when I go out and how everyone how cool they can be. The only thing better than a sweet honeycomb tablet from Asus, is a free one!
I would likely use a Honeycomb tablet to display sectional charts, airport diagrams, weather briefings, NOTAMS, TFRs, access DUAT/DUATS, file flight plans, and otherwise assist during flight planning at the airfield.
In a couple of months we're taking our 19 month old son on a vacation from Nor Cal to Illinois and it would be awesome to have a tablet with all of his favorite videos on it!
They love the various games on my Android phone, and their primary actual computer usage is just email and various web sites. Basically, a tablet is pretty close to the perfect system for what they do.
My girlfriend says that if we win an Eee Pad Transformer, that she will let me make a video of her with it and send it to the editors. I promise you won't regret it. Oh, and I also need to do some testing on my network at work.
I would use it to test interoperability with our systems at work. Tablets are all the craze and everyone wants one, but we can't guarantee their viability in our enterprise environment just yet...
Since I don't own a tablet, I would be happy with either one of these. I will be starting another college soon and could use this while I attain my M.S. Thanks Anand for offering this great opportunity!!
I'd use it to eliminate my wifes smartphone data plan that she doesn't use very much and save us some money on our montly cell phone bill. She could keep the functionality she likes to have with the apps and wifi around the house but in a much better form factor and not be tied to a smartphone she doesn't want to pay the data for anymore.
I have a very active 3 year old now. I cant be tried to a desktop while he is not in bed. I'd used the tablet to surf the net and check emails with we are in the back yard or while in the doctor's office, etc. Thanks for the consideration.
I've been on an RPG kick with my girlfriend and going through strategy guides online with my phone is annoying, and the pc is to far away, and the laptop is to cumbersome. It would be nice to sit together on the couch with a Tablet and save the world (videogame world that is) together in the classiest way possible.
The love of my life just saw an Ipad II last weekend. She's an artist in watercolor and oils. The minute she saw friends vacation pictures, she said, "I could show my artwork on that!".
Since the truth is the truth, this would a great opportunity for me. I would say "see, I told you the geek side would pay off for you someday."
I would really love to win one of these two tablets. I have been down on my luck for a while, but things look like they are finally turning around. I could definitely use this for my new job seeing how they allow us to use tablets. It would save me money from having to get a laptop too. Of coarse I would also use it for personal needs as well. It would be perfect for work instead of me having to get a laptop and lug that around all day. I hope you pick me. It would feel great after all that has happened lately.
I Plan on using my Tablet to take over the world... Muhuhahahah. Ok just kidding but I wand to immerse my self in the mobile Tablet toting cloud universe... Technology is amazing and as it advances I want to be a part of every bit of it. These tablets are awesome. Shout out to Asus for dropping some top notch tablets this year. They are really kicking booty. Not that Ipads aren't cool, but Eat your heart out Apple. :D
I've been wanting a Honeycomb tablet for a while now. As an iOS developer I've been considering making the jump to include Android devices. Having a tablet would came in handy for testing on the platform before release.
I am always being asked for tech support on everything my family owns - including linux-based smartphones of which I have none. I would use this tablet to bone up on the general feel of the OS.
I evangelize the platform more than anymore. Got like 10 people off iphones. I sold 20 of these transformers to a school instead of ipads, would LOVE to have one for my own...
We're moving this month away from our family unfortunately, and I'd love to have a tablet to make video chatting easier with my small kids. We have a slow old pc that I hope to upgrade after the move, but a new tablet would make that much easier and simpler. We'd love to have one and thanks for the opportunity.
I would love to finish my first novel on it! Between it and the keyboard dock, it would be perfect for extended writing sessions in the middle of nowhere, where I prefer to write.
Between my newborn daughter and being a full time college student, I'm left with nothing for fun things like this. Would put this baby to use on a daily basis, just like my baby puts me to work on a daily/hourly/minute2minute basis.
I've been on the fence about buying an android tablet for a while to start developing for Android as well as to see what a tablet can provide that a laptop cannot. I went as far as to pre-order an ASUS Transformer from Target only to see the order cancelled.
The only things that are stopping me now is the rumored next generation of Kal-el tablets that can play High profile HD video as well as the fact that I don't know yet if a tablet is really necessary or cost-justified.
I would like to see the price/performance differential between the current and next generation before committing the money for a tablet. It would be great to win a tablet to find out if the "tablet experience" is all that it's made out to be as well as to get started with Android platform development.
I have been thinking about replacing my laptop at home with a tablet. I mostly use the laptop for browsing. I think tablet would fit the bill perfectly.
I'll be honest and admit that it's easier to use a tablet in the bathroom than a laptop :-) We all need bathroom reading and I'm an environmentalist . . . yea, that's why I want a tablet in the bathroom.
Having a touchscreen tablet would make taking online tests just a bit more pleasant. Also, for those books which are available in ebook form, a tablet would be much easier to carry around than all those textbooks!
I'm a high school teacher and a father of two who also runs an after school theatre program - It's always difficult to keep on top of my crazy schedule and a tablet would make organizing my life much easier!
So I didn't make out in the last AT lottery, but I'm willing to put that behind me now. <sigh/> I've been using Android tabs on and off at work and I sure would like to add one to my personal inventory.
Great job to Anand et. al. on the valuable reviews posted to this site. It's been very helpful in getting my next build together. If I could make any constructive criticism, it's that I'd like to see more reviews!
Learning more about Honeycomb (I've used the Xoom, but none of the other tablets, and never for more than a couple brief encounters), and for J River's Gizmo.
Well this will be perfect as I can chat in my bed with my friends & family... I would really love to get one like this one. It is pretty cool & size is just right. I can chat with my wife next to me quite easily & send thousands of smiles while she is adjusting her laptop & trying to send me a love note.
If I am a winner, I would love to try and use the device for home automation. I got some buddies that are developing Android apps, so hopefully we will team up to put together a cool solution.
My current "main" computer is but a craptop from the previous century, long overdue for its retirement. I honestly would LOVE to win the tablet along with the transformer.
I should be applying to schools soon, and I can't think of something better to have in a high tech, yet mobile environment. College students can't afford these nice things, but they really do need them. I hope whoever does get this really does need it (i.e. I hope a fellow college student gets it :) )
I work with young children with autism, and am studying to be a speech pathologist in order to be even more effective and excellent at helping and loving them. I'd use my new honeycomb tablet as a tool in my studies as a speech path student.
I would be lazy and surf on my couch while watching tv. hunky laptops don't do the trick. I can also remote to my pc so I don't have to get up to do...errr... hrmmm..
1. phase out my laptop at home and replace it with the tablet for most of my web browsing at home 2. Keep tabs of various publications and books using appropriate apps 3. To take photos and videos and other multi-media applications 4. Play angry birds..hehe...love this game. 5. For maps on long distance drives (10 inch beats 4 inches anyday) 6. Subcribe to magazines and news papers 7. Maybe do a review of the tablet from realtime performance aspect.
The Transformer would aid me in my battle against the monstrosity simply known as "school". With the tablet at my side, no longer will I be weighed down by an endless supply of books or continuously growing pile of notes. Instead, I would use the Transformer to slay the "homework" and "sleepless nights," the top generals of "school's" vast army. Choose me, allow me to be victorious in my never ending battles to achieve the title of "college graduate."
I for one would love to get my hands on one of these to test the full capability of utilizing a tablet for on the go graphic production. Also would love to put one of these through their paces developing some 3D games utilizing either the Unity or UDK engines.
Finally something that is not an IPhone, IPad, or Android in a phone format. Have a Sager D901C laptop and need something less than twelve pounds to carry with me to work now that I am out of college.
I'd root it, and try some custom roms(provide it can be rooted). What cant you do with it, I'd use google navigation, google goggles, internet browser, email, etc.
To be honest, I probably would give this as a gift to either my brother or father. To my brother because he travels around a lot and is very tech savvy. This would be a great addition to helping him work from office to office. Also, I would give this maybe to my dad because he works at home on his laptop after a long day at work so this would be a great addition for him :D
This new Honeycomb tablet is the perfect tool to allow me to rule the world, conquer space, solve world hunger and poverty, bring about global peace, and then look-up the meaning of delusional megalomaniac!
This would be the perfect complement to my workstation, as i don't have a good device for just browsing the web while disconnected for extended periods of time
I'd use mine to videoconference my toddler to the family we have all across the country. Laptops work, but he bangs on the keyboard, and they aren't nearly as easy to move around.
This would be the perfect companion for college! I could get rid of most of my books and save my back! Plus I would get to play Angry Birds in glorious resolution!
Throwing my name into the hat for one of these spiffy tablets, I'd use them instead of lugging my 17" notebook around when visiting family out of state.
- Mobile entertainment for my kids - Entertainment for the kids during my wife's doctors appointments! - Organize our family schedule - One portable place for grocery lists, Target/WalMart trips, etc. - Catch up on TV shows and/or movies - Show others that the iPad is NOT the be-all-end-all of tablets :D
I'd try and use it for running my business when on the road. I'd like to use a tablet rather than have to carry a laptop everytime I go out. I need to be available 24x7 and this would be nice.
I'm in a series of "decreases" in life; cutting the cable cord, cutting the land-line phone, and I would like to attempt to even go as far as cutting a laptop! I'm hesitant about this and the cost of these tablets is a bit on the high-side for me to "just try".
If I win I'd use it to try and simply my workflow, the amount of stuff I have to carry, and my life!
I'd love to have a tablet so I could drag myself out of my home office and actually interact with my kids around the house. Right now, they only see me hunched over the computer, tied down with a chain to my desk, day after day, telling them continuously "Daddy can't play with you now, he's got to check his emails..."
As she's fixing to have a baby I think the tablet would be much easier to use than her normal 17" laptop. It's portability would be enough of a bonus to actually justify the switch. And while she doesn't use anything with Android right now, I love my Android based phone. (I have no doubt I'll get stuck on getting this or that installed and/or working anyway.) I've tried the iPhone and I personally just don't like it so the iPad is almost my last choice. (And before the witchhunt begins yes I can live with the fragmentation, I've tried both jailbroken/rooted, and the feel of the Android even with it's faults satisfy my preferences more than the iOS product.)
Wow, great units!! Winning one would be a big help. I am a pilot and have a great aviation app for Android that would let me view weather, nav charts and airport information quickly and easily on a nice sized display. Fantastic!!!!
I would use it to browse the internet and use apps in bed as well as someplace like an airplane, train, or coach bus where it is easier to pull out and use than my laptop.
I'd probably just use this while sitting on the couch to look something online, maybe read some books on it, games if they ever come out with any good games.
would do everything I do on my laptop without the boot-time wait and the weight. Paying bills online would be a breeze and my son would appreciate watching movies on a bigger screen with something he can actually holds. I might even get my Inspire 4G back from his little hand and free some room on my SD card from all his movies! Travel will also be so much better. Taking notes and accessing papers will be a lot easier at work as well. My wife will appreciate the upgrade from her netbook [as convenient as it has been over the past few years]. So Anandtech there it is: online access, movie viewing, note-taking and paper reading..all with a faster boot-time at a fraction of the weight of a laptop. Thx
We suffer with too many people and not enough computers in this house. Having a tablet would help get the kids using Facebook there instead of hogging up the computer and fighting about whose turn it is.
My girlfriend's birthday is coming up very soon and she doesn't have a laptop. She keeps snagging mine, detracting from my time reading up on anandtech! This would be perfect!
I had a connecting rod go through my engine and oil pan. Need to replace the engine now and winning one of these would be a really nice pick-me-up right now.
I have a lot of uses for an android tablet. Here are just a few.
- In car entertainment (podcast, music, streaming), car navigation, hands free phone, kids babysitter, audible books - At home internet device, entertainment device, internet phone, casual games, e-reader - on travel device for all the same functions above, but also picture viewing, and personal movie device on plane where I don't have to worry about battery LIFE!
I am not an android user (yet), but am very curious how android is. I had a WM6.X PDA and I really liked all the functionality of the touch screen and applications. WM PDA's didn't have as many apps though or games but I got a lot us use out of it. The mobility functions though is what I really want. The windows touch tablets are just too expensive!
I am a "young" IBM Mainframe Systems programmer and I would love to impress and/or annoy the old grumpy sysprogs working with me with this new fandangled device. Some of them still struggles with this "new" gui stuff, I'm sure this will blow their minds!
I would definitely use this for class - great since the battery will last all day! And maybe I'd use it at my part time job where I'm an emergency room scribe! So easy to carry around!
I would take it with my on my motorcycle trip this year and every year. its small enough to fit in my bag and seems rugged enough to make it through the 4300 mile trip this year. need my internet fix while on the road. Plus I can watch movies on it for relaxation at night.
I would love to be able to take this with me whereever I go and be able to sit down and see whats happening... right now, i have to wait until i get home to catch up on things. I miss out on the whole day's events.
I would use one of these every day on campus for taking and reviewing notes...so many days go by where carrying those books and laptop around really feels like a burden...
I'd add it to my development tools. Currently have devices for iOS, webOS, phone versions of Android. Do not have a tablet version of Android for testing just yet!
Ever since this was announced I wanted it, but I don't make enough to even think about it, so if I got this tablet I would try my hardest to develop a rom for it and maybe a few themes
I would use a honeycomb tablet in more ways than I could list here. Games, video chat, reading books, running my home automation network, etc, etc, etc.
My dad has an Android Tablet, and I'm jealous. I would like to be his equal. Would be awesome for sitting around in the recliner, since "my" computer is upstairs and I can't use it while watching TV or movies with the family, and I'd like to check on my Simunomics game or do other online research and reading. I'll even read the Anandtech posts on a regular basis if I win this! Thanks...
I would dedicate the tablet for my home entertainment, mostly. I would use it for streaming/watching movies, music, and social networking on my TV. Then when I leave and feel like I will need it with me, I will easily take it with me. It is the perfect tablet for whatever your needs.
I work in an environment that is always trying to lean toward the green side of things.
I would use this to replace my current notepad and pen while walking around helping staff with their computers.
I would take notes while at a staff member's computer, then come back, and sync them up with my battle-station, and increase my productivity 10 fold by not having to copy my notes down more than once.
I would then take it on my hour and a half bus ride home and watch a favorite show, catch up on reading, or just browse reddit till I get home.
Honestly, that is everything I would do with it. I would make it a productive part of my daily life.
I'm an IT Manager, and with the apps for wireless signal mapping, remote control, etc. the larger screen vs my Droid X would make it a great troubleshooting platform.
I've always been interested in tablets as a nice device between laptops and cell phones. My android phone can only do so much and can be hard to use for more computing-like activities.
I'd use it to stream media from my computer around the house, keep up to date on the usual (email, calendar, etc), taking notes in meetings, a dedicated Kindle reader, the list goes on and on, the possibilities are absolutely endless!
I would use it as a wifi remote to my home DVR and I would take it with me to bars/cafes to get a little sketching and casemod designing (through google Sketchup) done.
I would use the Asus transformer to learn Honeycomb development and build a writing app so the device would help me kickstart both my writing career and my android app dev career. Been saving my pennies for one but still a long way to go!
I'd use it to write articles on my blog as well as checking in on Facebook, Twitter, and Google+. I'd also use it to keep myself and my kids entertained with games like Cut The Rope, Angry Birds and Plants vs. Zombies, as well as movies from Netflix streaming. I'd probably also use it to check on my fantasy baseball team, do some shopping on Amazon, read my favorite news sites using Pulse Reader and check traffic conditions on Google Maps before hitting the road.
I want one of these so bad and can't afford one right now. I want to show it to my brother-in-laws and show them that it is much better than their ipads.
I tried out the transformer at best buy with dock and I have to say I was pretty impressed! I definitely would love to use this tablet when seeing patients!
I would love to get one and take advantage of its potential by bringing it to and from class in my university. use it to look at powerpoints and notes online. It would be awesome if I were chosen since I can't afford one (am a poor college student haha)
Love the design, love the Honeycomb OS. I would use for work and play. I would purchase the keyboard and use for work. I would help test new IT related apps and give feedback VIA Twitter and Facebook. Most of all I would like to show my wife why it is superior to the "fruit" tablet!!!!
Since I feel like Google owns my life now, is use my Eee Pad Transformer to sync up with my Docs, Talk, Voice, Music and Plus to have all my data with me everywhere. It's perfect for a university student like me.
I just recently got into app development and would love to have a tablet for testing. I think that tablets are a very intuitive way to teach children basic education skills. Utilizing this as the platform and my two kids as testers I would love to create an educational and entertaining app (or series of apps) that parents can use to help teach their children.
Anand please tell them begging doesn't help. Now....
I'd probably use mine to play around with android. I'm really interested in the idea of moving from a desktop interface to a tablet interface, and I'd like to see how ASIs went about it. Or I could just blend it....
With an Eee Pad from ASUS I would be able to access the internet from work and check out the reviews from AnandTech on my break. I would use it to organize my schedule better and increase my productivity to be able to have more time to enjoy other things I have going on. Thanks for the chance at this amazing tablet :)
I just want tablet so i can avoid watching my wife's selection of fat shows while chatting with friends on the laptop about said fat shows. I could sit in the living room with her, but watch arrested development, which didn't have a single fat person on screen in three seasons.
I would like to have a tablet for taking notes in meetings on a format more accepted than a laptop, and be able to make storage and networking plans and changes on demand (within the scope of our change management policy).
I would spend every day of the summer bragging to/messaging my fellow tablet afficiando that my tablet is better than his in typical 2nd grade na-na-boo-boo fashion with a new age troll twist. XD
I would use this to keep track of all relevant data for the computers I support in the neighborhood so I don't need to keep paper notes on-site and later transfer them to my desktop. They would be instantly available at all times instead of primarily residing at my home office instead.
He is dying to have a tablet, keeps on talking about using it around the house to browse and surf internet instantly, look up on things and play Angry Birds.
I'd play most latest android games using the tegra 2 power at it's best ! I'd tweet my luck and happyness to spread it around me :) I'd watch some videos while in the subway to work. I'd finally read some AnandTech news, obviously ! :)
I've never been much of a fan of portable computers in general, but the Transformer instantly caught my eye. A great piece of technology with so many uses. I'd love to win this. Thank you for the opportunity.
Right now in my life I am a full time student and a full time worker. I work all day and go to school all evening. I have a Samsung Vibrant right now, where I handle everything from storing my documents, pictures, music, and videos. I type all of my school work and work documents on Google Docs so I can bring them with me on the go. I also use Gmail excessivly to communicate not only between my work clients but also my teachers and classmates.
Having a tablet I think would be extremely helpful for keeping up with my data on the go. Having my documents on a larger screen would make it easier to edit on the go. Being able to sit down with a larger screen would help me not only stay in touch with my clients, but I can also communicate with friends and family through social networks.
Since my job also requires a lot of driving, having a larger Google maps on the go would be pretty nice to have as well. Seeing as how most of my life's information is in the Google Cloud, I think having an Android Tablet would really be a good way for me to access that data.
I will do the following: 1) Organize my day to day life of emails, social media, calendar Mgmt, on something more substantial than my smarty phone. 2) leave my bulky, heavy laptop at home when I travel and watch movies on the transformer instead. I'll be the guy I envied on my last flight. 3) MOST importantly, I will proudly and obnoxiously flaunt the superior product to my iPad owning friends and co-workers, and laugh when all they can come up with is, "Well, it has FaceTime..."
I am a techno-geek and struggling writer. I have completed my first book and am currently working on the followup. I have looked around a several tablets and feel the Transformer has the right blend of power and versatility, by adding the dock, that I have been looking at using in the future. I see myself using this product to replace the Asus Eee PC that I mainly use for my writing, while being able to separate tablet for internet browsing and light gaming later. I am hoping to purchase one in the near future but winning this would be a supreme pleasure.
Planning on starting truck driving school a great tablet would be terrific while I'm out on the road for checking news and email instead of having to boot my laptop up!
I'm starting college this fall and I would kill to have a tablet for school work. I've entered countless contests and I've been trying to save up some money but with having to lend money to my mom, paying for gas, car insurance and a bill or two it's not moving very fast :( Especially since I work at McDonald's.
Being a recent graduate at a major university with a heavy load of loans to repay and no call backs from job opportunities, an android tablet would be an amazing sedative towards soothing my insatiable hunger for great tech.
I am a freelance photographer. The Asus Transformer would be the ideal tool to show my portfolio and schedule appointments on the go. I have been watching it since the pre-production stages and would love to own one. Money is tight in this field...
I would most likely use it to replace all my books and notebooks for school. It would be a lot more convenient to keep all my course materials (PDFs, presentations, notes) in one simple device. It would also be handy for receiving and replying to emails from work. And, in my downtime, I would pop-up some games and burn some time!
I am going to use Honeycomb for my wife's business activities, such as showing portfolios to potential clients, creating contracts, and researching ideas for new cake designs.
This Transformer would be great for its portability, keyboard functionality, and really nice IPS screen.
I know this is random, but I'm going to tell you why I would love one of these. I'm growing my social media strategy and internet media production company and I think I will look much more legit if I am taking note meetings on the coolest tablet out there. So I post this to the ether to help me win. Thanks!
I would use the this awesome tablet to read digital books to my daughter. I love the Android OS and the Eee Pad is rocking. I am sure I would probably get this thing set up to control my home entertainment system too :)
I would use it to teach my young son to read using Oceanhouse Media apps as well as introducing him to the wonderful world of technology. And yes, I would use it for multimedia as well :-)
Asus makes AWESOME products! This would be another Asus product in my home that I'd love and utilize for my mobile computing needs!! Keep up the great work Asus!!
I would like to have a honeycomb which I could play out for testing the Android OS. I really liked your assesment of Asus over Samsung . Having one won as a prize could definitely be helpful.
I would use either of these tables (although ideally the transformer) for IT work at my job, among other things. I have to run around to a lot of computers and input IP address and DNS info and so on, as well as keep track of which computer has been assigned which IP, and I'm terrible at remembering numbers. A tablet would be a perfect way to have easy access to the Google Doc where I keep my network information while I run from computer to computer.
Also it would be great to have something to read on the can.
I would use it to play only the best games available on Android, surf the internet when I am too lazy to use my computer, and to show it off to my friends.
Have been trying to make a decision on a tablet to be used for personal use (gaming and internet) as well as business use, getting a free one would make that decision a lot easier
I would use it on the beach to edit the great American Novel or surf for porn - Either way, I would put it to good use and enjoy it all the more as a gift from my favorite tech sites!
I would not pour milk on a Honeycomb tablet and try to eat it like cereal. Instead, I would use it to read magazines and newspapers in the morning with my Honeycomb cereal, thus making it Honeycomb Squared!
My son in law is starting a new company and has been looking for computer. I showed him the Transformer and I called it a "game changer" -- IT IS! Problem is that it is always out of stock and he can't even try it.
So how about it? Give me the Transformer and I will give it to my son-in-law.
I'd use it while doing physics research at the University I study at. It would be very helpful to bring up documents in a laboratory environment in such a small package. Thanks!
Pick me pick me... i would really love to have a honeycomb tablet and try out android base tablet. because i never have any android base unit to play around with. only have experience in IOS & window OS~
I would use a new honeycomb tablet to help me at the local hackerspace. I am always looking up data sheets and rummaging around tech sites to find the reference information that I need to complete my projects. With a new tablet I could save valuable desk space (no more bulky keyboard and laptop base to take up project workspace!). I would also be able to more readily navigate the data sheets as a touch based interface is much more intuitive for getting around those documents.
As my family's first and only foray into mobile computing, the good 'ole Everex is getting a little long in the tooth. Especially with my son going off to tech in the fall, we are in serious need of a mobile technology update... Thanks for your consideration...
My laptop for school recently broke due to my room mate having a party and liquids being spilled on it. I've been using a notebook for my summer courses, but it's really hard to study them and I can't write music well at all on it. I can't afford a new laptop right now, so I would be very grateful for this tablet.
I would use for a little bit of everything: gaming, reading, browsing the internet, and watching flash videos and ads, simply because you can't do that on an iPad. :P
I'd use a GPS program to go hiking and record coordinates and use the camera to take pictures and video of where I went. Then I can show everyone the great places I had been on the nice big screen! My dad has traveled a lot in his life and I'd like to go out and try to get some of the same pictures that he got to see how things have changed over the years. Since I'd have the GPS coordinates afterward maybe someday my kid could go all those places and take their pictures again!
It would become the central item in a car computer build. The Transformer is perfect for this since it already has GPS, Maps, Navigate and media abilities. Couple this with a mobile hotspot or tether to phone and you have a perfect mobile computing system.
I'm a Technology Specialist... I would use the tablet for multiple things -- Development, showing off Technology, connecting it up to my TV for presentations, Hulu, Netflix,working while traveling, using internet while watching TV.
Also, just because I think tablets are just plain cool!!!
My wife would use it to track her new business. I could use it at work and home. And I know my kids would love to watch movies on it. Plus I want to make my friends with the IPad watch flash content on my new Transformer. And I would be remiss if I didn't mention playing Angry Birds on it.
If I won a tablet, I'd use it to replace my wife's aging XP laptop that takes over 5 minutes to even boot (it's ancient!). This would be a great means of indoctrinating my wife into the ways of Android. Plus, since I just had to replace my HVAC system, buying a tablet isn't in the budget right now.
I work in the communications busness and it would be great to have one of these so I can pull up peoples info when needed and thier bills also be able to price compare to our competator. At home I will use it a a leasure device having a laptop is too bulky now days and this would match my asus desktop and laptop I have with them. I love the company and I would love the device
I'm hoping the art apps for android really take off, and I'd love a tablet for drawing and painting as I move a lot and carting supplies around is a big hassle.
Not much sets me apart from the others hungry for this amazing tablet. I've been an Asus fan for years now, and I've had an itch to play with this lovely thing since the rumors first spilled onto the internet. I work in the social and mobile games biz, and I love fiddling with the apps others come up with. I'm a big reader, too, and I've wanted a tablet to broaden my ebook collection beyond the limits of the Kindle. On top of that, I'm an artist, and this tablet and I would get along splendidly when showing off my digital work on it's amazing screen. I've been in the market for a small machine to cart around with me (I'm also pursuing a writing career and need something portable for those on-the-go bursts of creativity) and, while I lust for a tablet, they're way out of my price range and a netbook may be my only option. (Asus, of course!) I'd much rather have the advantages a tablet offers, however. If I won the Transformer, it would never have a chance to collect dust--I'd use it every day, for a variety of tasks. I hope whoever wins this beautiful piece of machinery finds it as useful in their lives as I believe it would be in mine! Thanks giving us such a neat opportunity!
I'll use the Eee Pad Transformer to vlog/blog while on being the run. I can type/take pix/upload on the fly, don't even have to have a cam. Though I wish it'll turn into a cool robot and fight along side me....but I guess nothing is perfect, I'll be happy with just this~ =D
I'm still wanting to get my first android device, and this Transformer tablet would be an amazing introduction to the OS. I'd like a tablet to replace my EEE netbook for handling schoolwork, attending livechats with AdobeConnect, and e-textbook reading. The convenience of the tablet over even a netbook would be awesome with two small kids running around the house!
I would like to use the tablet to maintain a new blog I have created that captures my feelings during my struggle with trying to conceive. By having a tablet on me at all times, I can capture any little thought or emotion I may be experiencing going through fertility treatment.
If you chose me, I would probably use it for playing angry birds, writing code for small side projects, testing android apps, and writing to my blog. It would also spend a lot of time in my fiancées hands, as for what she would do with it, probably just about anything she could think of.
Looks like it would be so useful to look stuff up while watching tv, or working on car and you needed a service manual pdf, or take pictures or videos while taking something apart. so that you can put it back again. Countless uses in my opinion.
please pick me i would love to have one of these to study on i have a big test coming up and could uuse one of hese to sstudy and research on the go but i cant afford to get my own
i really need a new tablet for work. We use almost all of our services through remote cloud storage services. We have to take pictures of items and do drawings in the field as well as spread sheets. I would really appreciate one of these to make y life easier and more productive.
I travel quite a bit for work so I would use a tablet constantly for movies, games and reading all in one device! I'd love to play with rooting and different roms as I can't on my work phone.
How would I use one of these if I won? Well, as someone who travels quite a lot, using it as an e-reader and media device would be obvious. As a programmer who likes to tinker, I'd love to see what kind of user interfaces I could make for some of my projects. Bottom line: it would get used, and often!
If I win, I will use my new ASUS Eee Pad Transformer Honeycomb tablet to keep more organized, send emails, develop Honeycomb based apps to submit to the Google Apps Store, and of course capitalize on my new subscription to Anandtech's Website! Cant wait to check out www.anandtech.com on a tablet computer!
I would use a new tablet to extend my capabilities at work with remote desktop, my comfort when browsing or reading from the couch or bed, and to supplement my Pathfinder tabletop RPG with extra materials and resources while reducing the number of books I carry.
...but I'd probably just read comic books on it until the wee hours more than anything.
I would greatly appreciate if you would consider me for one of the tablets. I would mainly use the tablet in class for note-taking during my lectures. The included office suite would be very helpful for that. Secondly, of course gaming, you aren't going to get an Nvidia Tegra 2 powered tablet just for productivity are you? That would be like using a super computer to add 2 + 2. I have also been working on a DMX interface for Android using the ADK, and this tablet would be very useful for making a better tablet friendly interface compared to my current 4" phone(Samsung Epic.) Basically, I'd use it for everything I can, the options are almost limitless with the selection of apps available in the Market. Be it using it as a gaming controller for my PC, controlling my Bluray Player or Boxee, or just using the calculator(2+2 anyone?) This would also generate a $150 sale for an online retailer as I will be buying the keyboard dock for it if I am chosen.
I've done the research and I KNOW the Eee transformer is the best tablet on the market. (Until the transformer 2 comes out) And ALL my friends and co-workers have a tablet. I would LOVE to have this tablet! I don't have a smart phone, so I could really use the gps and other features I have to deal without. I also have an ASUS computer, so you know I'm a loyal customer. Thank you for considering me.
I had ordered this before and sadly i have to return it as i got a defective product. Anyway i have used it for a day and my view is that it is an awesome tablet with nice customized Android interface. The File manager is great and also the widgets provided are Nice. This is not a review so i will leave it here. I will be lucky if i win this, i would love to have one. Thanks. Hope Anandtech picks me.
I would use the tablet to help develop an app to connect to your computer via MIDI to control your Digital Audio Workstation. Think: a Novation Launchpad type thing in an app.
I would love to win this ! I would use it for multimedia in my home and on the go and also think I might get a little productivity use out of it for school and work ! Thanks again anandtech !
Well, in a few months, I'll be shipping out to the Navy. So having one of these bad boys would be incredibly useful, from reading ebooks, to watching movies, playing games, and keeping in touch with people (whenever we can get wifi, at least, haha), whenever I've got downtime. So yeah, even though the winner is randomly chosen out of all the comments, this would be my use for one of these. :D
The Transformer would make my second year of grad school that much easier. That and I'm quite tired of lugging around my laptop. I also refuse to become like my dirty hipster classmates and fall trap an iDevice.
I would love one of these to show off my digital photographs during a shoot. I would mount it on a light stand and send pics via my laptop directly to it right after it's shot. would be awesome.....
Becoming a College student within the next few months, I have been looking into the Transformer already and have found it ideal for my use cases. Media Consumption -(web browsing, watching movies, listening to music, viewing photos I've personally taken) Social Networking -(Keeping in touch with family and friends)
I'd invest in the Keyboard Dock and also utilize it for: Productivity -(Google Docs/Office Suites) Casual Gaming -(Emulators, Popular Apps) I also hope to use it, to help with learning to Develop for Android, and appreciate the chance to win the Transformer, Thanks AnandTech -UnClearDestiny
I'd use it as a laptop replacement, and integrate it into my home network and work network.
It's been a while since I've had the challenge of integrating something as alien as Android. Most of the integration tools are pretty portable, but Android is different.
To watch people in awe as I take a photograph and start marking up locations of rusted steel and cracked masonry on site. Gone will be the days of using a camera, downloading those photos, and forgetting why I took that picture.
I would put it in a waterproof case and hang it in the shower making it the most advanced shower radio ever........haha, no, I'd set it up to be able to access our media center so it becomes our house's multi-function tablet, from remotes to email, just like a Star Trek PADD!
My girlfriend would love this! She has to carry a laptop, several textbooks, and a few hundred pages of research papers to lab every day. The Transformer could replace all of that and save her back. Having that keyboard dock for notes would be awesome!
My sister-in-law got one of these, courtesy of my brother, so now I must have one as well. My wife enjoys the idea of watching movies or shows in bed together, so I think VLC Direct Pro or even Subsonic would be the first order of business.
Actually we bought a refurbished iPad for my mother last Mother's Day. The experience turned out to be a nightmare. It was returned and we've been deciding on an Android tablet since.
I am a robotics grad student who dreams to to build a mobile robot that uses the power of a android+ardunio to cheaply make search and rescue robots for first responders.
What would I do if I won one? Use it to surf the web, play a few games but most importantly I'd use it to carry around the 400+ song lead sheets I normally have to carry around in a 6" binder and the some 200+ "specials" song lead sheets I have to carry around in an additional 2" binder for playing guitar at church. That would save my shoulders from lugging around an additional 5 to 8 pounds of paper, plastic, and metel that make up the binders. One would save me a lot of trouble. I could make good use of one as a tool, and occasionally a toy...
I would use these tablets for almost all of my PC uses - web, email, photo sharing, social networking - , everything but spreadsheet and long typing work! They look like wonderful products and are on the PC platform. Finally! Thanks for the great reviews!
I could use this to teach my wife how to use a computer. I am an IT professional and my wife is not very proficient with technology. It would be a great tool for her geneology research and keeping in touch with friends and family
I would love to have a transformer as I believe it could potentially replace my aging laptop that won't hold a charge. I would use it to type news articles for work, run the business side of my side business such as client lists and such, and would love to use it to potentially finish a comic that I started. The potentials of the transformer are endless and I will put it to good use if I am chosen.
As a school teacher, I would use this in the classroom for explaining things or to google something on the fly. it would also be a nice attendance taker!
Reading books (tech books, Star Wars books, bible, medical books), listen to music, demo Android to my computer course students, manage WinSrv2008R2 remotely, play games, watch videos and movies, let kids use Sketchbook, use it for drug references and calculations (ePocrates and Skyscape), check messages, keep up on social media, organize my calendars and contacts, use it as my in-car entertainment center, surf the web, test apps for my publics safety mobile tech blog, and that's just the start! Thanks for the contest!
There are so many things I would use one of these tablets for. Including but not limited to: Watching Netflix and Hulu, Browsing the web, Reading books, Playing games. Not having to lug around my laptop all the time. etc...
I keep waiting and waiting to see what to buy...at this rate I'll never have a tablet. I'd actually use mine for work a good deal as it'll be great for a quick reference and video demonstration unit (facilitation/training).

Come back here right after the time cutoff, and look at the number of comments. That should be about what your chances are.Anyway:
The Eee Pad will be great while waiting for planes, or even on planes. Less cumbersome than a traditional laptop, while still allow quick communication, catching up on news, checking seats, and the like.

I've been wanting to try a tablet PC to see if it would make a good grad school replacement for my ancient laptop. My needs are pretty basic: web, email, video, and running lots of presentations. I'd also like to try a capacitive display with a stylus and see if it can replace good old pen and paper for taking notes. Unfortunately, even at $400 the cost is hard to justify, especially on a grad student stipend (and since spiral bound notebooks only cost $.99). I can't think of a better way to start than these.

I would use the Transformer to replace the ancient (2004) laptop I have been using since the screen died on a slighty more recent laptop.I was glad to see that companies like Asus decided to increase the utility of tablets by adding a detachable keyboard. My kids like touch screens, but I'm an old codger.

I would love to take one of these on my business trips or just use it to surf the internets at night.hshendon - Friday, July 8, 2011 - link
Would love to win one of these! Using a tablet would transform my casual internet usage experience. I could use this to access the internet for all of those little spur of the moment things anywhere in the house or out and about instead of having to get to a pc, use my HUGE laptop, or compromise with a mobile site on my phone!hyl334 - Friday, July 8, 2011 - link

My wife can't be the only one with a tablet...Please?AAgent - Friday, July 8, 2011 - link
I would use the Transformer to connect with my wife and child while I'm traveling for work as well as manage work documents without a clunky laptop. I use Google Docs all the time and everyone is impressed with how quickly I can get things done because I can manage the documents for free from my phone wherever I am. A honeycomb tablet would make document editing easier and presentations even better! I could also have a nice personal theater on the planes, being the envy of the sky! Too bad my company will not supply these awesome tablets. My clients would sure be impressed with Honeycomb!bigrobsf - Friday, July 8, 2011 - link
This bear is cravin some Honeycomb!Aside from the obvious media watching/listening, this would serve as a great location-sensitive map for traveling in unfamiliar cities and finding still more Honeycomb devices.

I'd like to say that such a device would increase my productivity and make me a more intelligent and handsome person but I'm fairly certain that about 90% of its usage would come from surfing fine sites like this during my daily tech-porn/reading sprees with a side of Google facilitated mailing/conversing.So, with the addition of a tablet to my life, I guess that my tech knowledge would be set to increase and my productivity via email/chat would skyrocket. Not sure that it would help with the handsome (unless I held it up in front of my face)...I made myself sad.

The battery life of these things kills notebooks, and the form factor's a lot more convenient.

What happened to "unfortunately extending the contest rules outside of the US is a bit more than we're able to reliably handle today. That's not to say that we won't at some point in the future, we just have little experience doing such things and don't want to get burned early on."?Other sites seem to have no problem with this. It has been well over a year now and the above excuse seems a bit lame at this point, which is probably why it is no longer included in the rules!

For me, tablets are a way to read either websites like Anandtech (which I've been doing for 14 years or so) or other portals like yahoo, newspapers, etc. as well occasionally watch videos or listen to music or podcasts. Oh, and I guess there's always angry birds and good ol' backgammon. This is why I've been waiting for an inexpensive solution to justify itself so I can stop buying newspapers at $0.75 a day. A convertible like the eee transformer could end up being useful for a number of other things too like writing or work, so it's a good value add but price is going to be a factor when Android's forced use of cloud and network over direct connection of devices like printers and external drives is a pain to deal with.PandaPower - Friday, July 8, 2011 - link

As a student finishing undergraduate and moving toward graduate studies, being able to access files both on the go and at home is vital. Because I travel frequently, I need to be able to work in vehicles, on planes, and in places like hotels and other schools. An Eee Pad Transformer would be ideal for allowing productivity (and maybe a little fun/showing off!) Also: can't afford one myself; I have to pay for school..Xenon14 - Friday, July 8, 2011 - link

I'd love to have a Transformer tablet for the convenience of a couch computer. Often, I'll be watching tv and see an actor/actress and be like where did I see him/her before or hey, here's a trailer on this blurary/dvd for a movie. Maybe I should add it to my netflix queue. Or hey, there's a product I should look up or what's the weather like. There's a lot of spur of the moment type things where I don't watn the hassle or wait of booting up a pc or laptop. I want the convenience of instantly looking it up at the couch or the bedroom for that matter.I am looking for this to be a quick and easy internet capable appliance for those times when I just don't want to meander over to the computer.

I'd be interested in indulging my love of classic gaming via DosBox with the ASUS Eee Pad Transformer. A great advantage I see in this tablet over all the others is the docking accessory. I haven't purchased any tablets yet because I could not see any functions that one would add over a 5" screen smartphone and a desktop.I think this one might convince me to change my mind if someone gets DOSBox to work for Honeycomb as the screen is just large enough for that and the Tegra 2 should be powerful enough for DOS games.

My wife and I can't afford a tablet quite yet, though we do desperately need one. Our laptop is on it's way out, our desktop is already offline and there's little room in the budget for replaceents.So this would basically serve our most basic computing needs at home, perhaps even after we get the laptop and desktop fully back online. My wife in particular really only ever uses facebook, email and web. So a tablet is perfect for her needs especially.

We used to have one computer for each member of the family. One got stolen, one wouldn't turn on at all, and my son wiped the keyboard of our laptop with a wet cloth, so now it behaves as if a key is permanently stuck in the down position - disconnecting the keyboard also disconnects the power button. Now, we're down to just two. Our children pretty much use both all the time. (In the old days, kids used to take over the phone.) So I need a (tablet) computer to check on e-mail, read AnandTech, etc. My eyes are too old for the tiny screen on my phone.xxerexx - Friday, July 8, 2011 - link

I would use this tablet/netbook like it was my job. Oh wait, it is. Imagine this...I work in web/software development and I do not own a laptop, tablet, smartphone, or even a cellphone. I'm serious, I owned an LG Chocolate like 4 years ago for about a year. That's my expertise in the mobile market. I do, however, have a 5ghz 2700K with SLI at home, on an asus mobo I might add, but that's a little clunky to be carrying around.Owning this sweet little piece of technology would literally transform my life. Can you say android development? Booya!!!

I would use my Honeycomb tablet to be my product to write my first tech review. From there I would go to reviewing and commenting on all things tech, eventually building a huge journalistic empire. During this rise to the top, I would buy AnandTech.com for a hefty sum (think 10 figures). After decades on top, I would decide to step down from the board and the company would fall apart due to poor management (nepotism never works). My fortune, heavily invested in company stocks, would evaporate . I would die penniless, sadly clutching the tablet that started the whole trip.Or, I'd just show all my friends that there is indeed competition to Apples iPad.

2. Set on the shelf above the treadmill to stream video to, since the only room the treadmill will fit in currently has no TV.
3. Casual web browsing from the couch.
4. E-Reader for my soon to be wife, as she has always wanted one, but can't warrant spending the money, and won't let me get one for her either...

I would use the Asus Eee Pad to listen to my music collection whether on the actual Pad or through the cloud. I'd watch movies on it, check my email, social networking, web surfing, and if it can hook up to an HDTV, I'd do that, too! If there's an app out there that can make it function as a remote control, I'd use it for that, too. The possibilities are endless! Plus, I'm moving into a new place soon, so it would be a great housewarming gift.GTI337 - Friday, July 8, 2011 - link

I recently gave my only laptop to my dad. My dad was diagnosed with liver cancer a couple months ago. He's too sick to work, so he spends the majority of his time at home. Giving him my laptop and introducing him to the internet just opened a whole new world to him. I still have my desktop to do my school works, but it will be nice to have a tablet for me to take it to school with me. I travel 4 hours a day in public transportation to school everyday. if I have a tablet, I could spend those 4 hours everyday on something productive like reading technical PDF books. With a tablet, I could have my whole collection of pdf books with me anytime. :) I do have the actual copies for most of the books, but they are just too heavy to carry to the campus everyday. I'm graduating with a CS degree soon. Maybe I could learn to make apps for android as a side job. And with that big screen, movies and games is a must. Haha.Rmattp - Friday, July 8, 2011 - link

This tablet will be an essential tool for me and will help me save thousands of lives in the near future.
One thing I hope to do in my future career is combine my career in medicine with my love for technology.

I've been sitting on the proverbial tablet fence for a long time. After reading your review of the Eee Transformer about two months ago I decided it was time to buy. Unfortunately no one had them in stock. Now...I'm ready but I'm conflicted between this "best bang for your buck" Asus model and the "everyone has one" Ipad 2. So, make my decision easier by just giving me one of yours...please!I plan to use it to take notes in Evernote during business meetings and watch videos at 30K feet. Other than that...I may read a book or two...but only if its non-fiction.

The vast majority of the time, I think I'd leave it on the table between the television and couch for the whole household to use. Web browsing, news/magazine reading apps, VOIP, Google Music, ... probably lots of uses just on the couch.Since I currently don't travel much, I don't think the keyboard attachment is worth the cost for me (but I'd look for sales and eBay auctions).

It would enhance everything I do now. I'd really love to have one, but haven't had the funds (or need). The transformer has been on my short list of tablet/nettop for use when I finally go back to school to finish my EE degree.After seeing what my friend's iPad can do, I'd love to be able to do the same, but have more freedom that Android has to offer.

I am a IT Architect and have been hesitant to jump into a tablet after the failure of the iPAD that I purchased. Apple and I have never been compatible and the quirks were too fun for me. An android tablet would be a lot of use to me. I have a HTC Incredible that I rooted and use for work, but the screen size is limited for productivity...Citrix is just not viable on that size (for instance). So, for me the tablet would do a lot of work related things (ActiveSync and productivity) and I am sure that my kids would love to play Fruit Ninja and what not on it.Take Care!

I've been slavering over the Eee Transformer since it was announced.I could never justify a stand-alone tablet or netbook on a cost or utility basis, but I've been doing most of my recreational reading on a hand-held for years, starting with a Palm device in 1996...
Nearly all of my study materials are in e-Book formats or online these days. i-devices are too much of a walled garden for my taste, but have lovely displays.
When the Eee Transformer was released with the same display as the i-whatnots, I was half-convinced. With the keyboard/battery base, I can avoid carrying 7+ pounds of laptop & accessories everywhere, which completes the sale as far as I'm concerned.
Alas, the cost and the shortages! And the rapid product cycles, which mean that by the time I can afford one, the next version will be out!

I would like to be able to hang around on the couch for hours on end reading Anand's in depth articles on CPU design and trying to understand it all. Sometimes his articles are really complex and it would be great to be able to read them from the safety of a sofa. Why, you ask? Well, sometimes when I read them sitting at my desk I get a keyboard shaped bruise my forehead. It occurs when I slip suddenly into a coma while concentrating too hard on detailed articles by Anand. They start of so intriguing and with such interesting questions that I want to understand, but often end with my face smashed into the J K L key. I have actually ruined three perfectly good keyboards this way. Apparently no-one has thought to introduce a drool-proof model. It can be really painful, embarrassing and expensive to read Anandtech.I am not saying I want him to tone it down. I love the challenge of keeping up and trying to understand it all. I just feel that I would be much more willing to delve into the challenges of chipset design as explained by Anand if I was laying on a sofa with a Transformer in hand rather than perched precariously on a chair over an oh-so sharp, forehead penetrating keyboard. It would be kind of like having a safety net.
Have mercy on me guys! Otherwise I may have to resort to wearing a helmet every time Anand writes an article!

I would probably use the tablet as a laptop/ entertainment device while I keep a less portable desktop computer at home. It wouldn't be too hard using Google Docs to access all my documents from any device and the keyboard would allow me to actually type with speed and precision.As a entertainment device, it has enough battery to be used for work and play all on a day's charge. It is definitely more portable than a notebook too. Video and audio are played back perfectly fine, and of course web browsing is perfectly normal compared to most notebooks. Not to mention peripheral support in the upcoming updates to Android, which would make it perfect for some PS1 and N64 emulators.

I would consider using one at work. Not entirely sure if its something I could use. I know the iPad has several apps that would be very useful to me, and I would imagine a Google based tablet would have equivalent apps or software as well. I guess that's what happens when you don't keep up with the tablets because quite honestly I find the price way out there for them. They are overpriced, underpowered computers and I don't believe for a second that mobility constitutes such a high price tag. Cost wise these manufacturers are making a HUGE PROFIT on a device that cost next to nothing to manufacture and distribute. It reminds me of the Cell Phone Industry, smart phones that cost $300-$600 without a contract is highway robbery, especially when the components in most of these phones cost pennies to manufacture. Add it all up and its blatantly obvious that these companies make a killing on something that when broken down has nothing inside it that is difficult to manufacture. I find it astonishing that most people who own a Smart Phone or Cell Phone seem to think the technology behind them is futuristic and highly complicated/sophisticated, when the truth is its not.Oops looks like I went on a rant. Well if you have read this far, Congrats I am done! :-) Cheers

In a little town known as Bangor there has been a recent outbreak of ravaging bears. They roam the country side in search of chicken steak or human. Those that have survived have done so using their remaining jars of honey. They will throw the glass near the bears area and it distracts them long enough to run away.

The 2010 Honda Civic has essentially two dashboards:The upper, essential one contains the speedometer and the fuel gauge. I wouldn't obstruct that one.
The lower, non-essential one contains the odometer, the RPM meter, the gear indicator and the cruise control indicator, among other non-essential things. I'd stick an Adroid tablet there in front of that one.
I dream of tethering the tablet to a "MiFi" device, such as the one available from Virgin Mobile, and then running a "glance only" app on the tablet, such as the Chumby viewer, to make my long commute a little bit more bearable.

I am an avid gadget lover. The advent of mobile devices that serve as an all-in-one technology has impressed and driven me (and millions others) into following the tremendous innovation that companies like Google have brought to this computing arena.Since I already use an Android device (Nexus S), use of a Honeycomb tablet would be a natural extension Google's mobile environment. I would use the device primarily for business, learning, exploring, and socializing.
For business, I would use my QuickOffice, ThinkSpace, and Mindshark apps for productivity and idea sharing. For learning I would use my tablet to read How Stuff Works articles in a large screen browser, world news on NPR, and my techie computer books on Nook and Kindle apps. For exploring, nothing beats the versatility of Google Maps as well as other explorer apps like Yelp. And with the small weight of the Asus tablet, i can take it with me on my international trips to Latin America! Lastly, it is important for me to stay connected with my family and friends. That is why I would be using my tablet to log onto Facebook and Skype. Video chatting with my 64 year old mom in Mcallen, Texas will never feel so close. (I live in Chicago.)
Technology really makes our world so much smaller, closer, fuller. Let us all enjoy what these tablets can do for our enjoyment of life. :-)

I'd like one of the tablets to use as an everyday device, they are more advanced than my iPad and would like to experience them for better comparison with iOS.Hands down, these are the best Androids out there - with features and price ratios.
With my own experience with my only apple product, the iPad - my recommendations are more towards apple iOS products. But I'm always opened to new and better products.
My experience with my own Android Galaxy still makes me nervous about the operation and ease of use in comparison. So my future purchase will either be an iPad3 or maybe an Android if I know or feel that its on par with the Apple iPad.
The number of apps is not as important as the quality, but its operation of the device that is most important when I am doing business.

This post will serve as my entry (good luck, me!).As to how I would use a Honeycomb-based tablet, it would essentially be my "Arm-Chair-Computer"; using it to look up things while watching TV or looking up tips for whatever Xbox game I may be playing.
I'd also take it with me whenever I'd be somewhere I'd be waiting for something where a notebook PC wouldn't be convenient, e.g. waiting at the doctor's office, waiting for my mechanic to work on my vehicle, etc.

I realized my "entry" wasn't really by the rules, since I didn't say how I would use it. I currently have an iPad and an Android phone (EVO3D), and am interested to see if an Android tablet can offer better intergration than the iPad does with respect to my data and day to day functions. Key points will be e-mail management, document handling and editing (including presentations), and access to online photo repositories (i.e. Picasa). Also, the iPad integrates really well through Citrix to my hospital's information systems, I want to see if an Android can match that (unfortunately, 4.3" is too small to test realistically). All in all, I want to see if Android tablets can match or beat the iPad in my workflow.sigmatau - Friday, July 8, 2011 - link

I have many impressive leather bound books on my shelves. People come from miles around to watch me stroke my beard thoughtfully. I am an important man with many important friends.I would use a Honeycomb tablet to compile a list of my many past achievements, and to document my ongoing achievements in real time. We speak of achievements like the time I beat an old nag in a footrace.
Or the time I convinced the Olympic committee to accept Buzkashi as a medal sport for the 2012 Olympics.
If I had a Honeycomb tablet I could make your lives easier. I mean all of you. All of you people on Earth. Your lives will be better. Seriously, you'll wake up and those boils will be gone.

My entry...no, my plea shall be presented in the form of a very real story, a story destined to transcend mere pixels and punctuation and become reality."A package arrived today. Hmmm...
A curious tilt of the head outwardly revealed my inner bewilderment. I hadn't ordered anything lately, had I? However, this was a package, so I did what any true resident of the modern age of digital store-fronts and weekly front-porch cardboard encounters would do, I opened it. I looked down on that packing material as it parted like the Red Sea and beheld the Poseidon's golden trident of all tablets. The black box within seemed to pulse with radiant energy before I realized it was simply the mind-altering, rhythmic flow of adrenaline with each heartbeat. In that moment an epiphany struck like Zeus's lightning, hard and burning. I knew what I had to do. Not moments later Newegg hands frantically handled and shipped a box containing a single Eee Pad docking station. This time there was no pause, only the chime of a doorbell, a short yet serious walk, and the tape gave way to blade. Docked and ready, silent my Transformer sat.
Words poured onto it's vibrant screen, yet there were no frivolous colors shining from its surface, only the black and white of meaning. It typed like no other tablet could type and in time my great weapon had been forged, one to bring an Empire to it's knees. A few hours spent making a bump key proved all to enjoyable and the adrenaline returned that very night at the priting press of my employ. Usually occupied by shadows at such nocturnal moments, it danced with sight and sound and the smell of acetone and ink...and for the first time since my life changing discovery, my flat lips curved into a crooked grin as I held the first copy of a powerful book.
A single digital copy and one hundred soldiers of paper and print were sent into their respective planes of existence, a few to Apple headquarters, 1 or 2 to numerous online tech-blogs, two of many examples. It spread like wildfire like I knew it would, especially among people of logic and reason, a simple message yet laced with potent truth, in short: the iPad is NOT, in any way, the best tablet anymore. Apple has fooled you all with matte, aluminium mirrors and the smoke of 1000 burning marketing experts. And just like that, the spell was broken.
Several years later that same screen that was once so serious displayed in brilliant splendor the pages of Anandtech, the place my great journey had started those few years ago. Reading its reviews and deliciously over-technical articles on the latest tech, my door was unceremoniously kicked in by an old, skeleton like man. L-shaped, chrome plated steel glinted in his hand and with the raise of his arm the tip of a .50 caliber round pointed menacingly, with crazed, shaky conviction. I'd seen this man before, yet in a less tattered pair of jeans and a black turtleneck. Mr. Jobs they'd called him. Who was he now but a forgotten memory to most? He screamed the question all downed, helpless men ask themselves after falling from the highest of high priestdoms, "Why?!" He had no more words on how to hold a phone, only that one, hoarse cry. As the pressure from the tip of that beautiful hand-cannon pressed my forehead back I answered without a hint of fear, "I brought them the truth. Nothing more. Plus...Anandtech needed a decent reason to give me a free Asus Eee Pad Transformer." Then I closed my eyes and closed my Eee Pad dock with one. small. click."
So yeah...I'd like that Transformer.

I would use the Eee pad to carry out research on the impact of using wood burning stoves on asthma in Honduras. Currently, we gather questionnaire data on paper, because entering the data in a laptop is too cumbersome for recruiters. But paper forms then need to be entered into a computer, and there are all sorts of problems with that, from recruiters who incorrectly fill out the paper forms to errors during the transcription process. Moreover, we measure lung function in the process using a spirometer (currently connected to a laptop). The whole setup is cumbersome, and could be replaced by a tablet that could simultaneously be used to fill out the forms and perform the spirometry (I've already contacted the spirometry company and they are working on a version of their software and an interface that would work with Android tablets).Thanks,
Josh Galanter

The use of the Eee Pad Transformer is pretty much limitless. I would mainly use this for my start up business. Instead of carrying a pad and paper I could use this to enter data, I could show potential clients all that can be offered through pdfs and such on the tablet instead of carrying a bulky laptop or having multiple handouts which in turn will help cut my cost of printed material and save trees.mattpegher - Saturday, July 9, 2011 - link

With a name like Transformer, the only possible use is as a mounting surface for this Autobot logo sticker I've got laying around.

Suffice it to say that I actually do have one.

What better use for a Honeycomb than to produce the sweet, sweet honey of Android bliss on a tablet in conjunction with my Android phone, Chrome browser on my PC, and new G+ account, all connected via El Goog's magnificent G-Mail service?On a related note, if this Transformer is half as amazing as Transformers 3, it'll be worth telling others to get for themselves.

I would use it as a way to keep myself and/or my family entertained while traveling. Lots of traveling coming up this summer, and there is no better way to keep kids entertained then by letting them watch movies or play mindless games while on the road.

It I would win, I would use the Asus Transformer to:1. Use it for multiple thing. I would use it for email access and web browsing.
2. Play Pandora and Slacker on it, because I can't live without my music.
3. Use it for Movies on the go, and use the HDMI to play content on TVs
4. Use it for buisness, playing music files and scores for clients.
5. Buy the Dock, so I can use this to its fullest potential.
6. Display Pictures to show friends what happen in Vegas with the Facebook app.
7. Connect it to my Verizon HTC Thunderbolt with the "Mobile Hotspot" feature.
8. Brag to everyone in town, that I have a great tablet that is comparable, if not better, than the iPad!!!

I'd like to win because I've been dying to get a tablet for my family but I have lack of funds to do so. I love to read and write and I feel like a tablet would suit me perfectly. My mom is always spending money on books and if I could just teach her how to use the Transformer she'd be all over it. I can also start my Honeycomb application designing as I have on Apple in the past but have long since had an Apple device because it was stolen. This transformer would go to alot more use than the above stated as my whole family would have access as I would rarely leave the house with a tablet unless I was going to class... P.s. thanks for the giveaway, hope to see some more cool stuff very soon.bLast0 - Saturday, July 9, 2011 - link

and the dock function is very nice when you have to write alot.
The transformer is missing 3G but it doesn't matter when you have a Android phone also, you just hot spot to phone and use 3G (I'm using LG Optimus 2X)
If you wanna play around a little with the EeePad you can do many things ;)
Now i have my complete music/video collection everywhere i go and my work place is right by my side at all times. well spent $.

I help out at a local charter school. When a friend showed me his Android tablet, the first thought I had was that it would be a great replacement for some books, educational software on PC, and would even allow students who have to are ill to see the lecture through streaming video in bed. The school already has video recording hardware, but since no one has a tablet, it's not an easy sell.This school does a lot of learning "in the field", so if each student had a tablet, they could photograph the plants and natural areas they study, share that media with each-other without having to return to the school, and even look up their subjects online as they found them!
With one of these tablets, I'd set up some free educational and recording software and show how tablets can be useful for other than just casual Facebook users.

At first I was hesitant to accept that a tablet had any place in my life but after using my android smartphone and becoming very efficient with the interface, I can see the usefulness of more processing power and a larger display.I'd sure love to see some better integration for the home. An infrared output and perhaps native support for one of the HD wireless output options so the display can be easily duplicated on your big screen.

I would use it to eliminate about 1/2 of my paper usage at work. I run off two copies of packing slips for customers currently. I recently got an app put together that will let me set the packing slip up on a computer and send it to an Android tablet, let the customer sign it, and then print a single copy out for them from the truck, or if they have ability and would rather, I can just fire off an email.However, the Nook Color running CM7 that I've got is just a tad too small for this, some of my customers have Godzilla sized fingers and/or signatures... a 10.1 tablet would probably be perfect.
I'd probably go through around 3000 fewer sheets of paper every year, which may only be around 6 reams, but paper not used are trees that don't need to be cut down :-D

I respect Android as a fast-growing product and a high-quality special-purpose Linux distribution but I would install a general-purpose Linux distribution. My tablet applications would be as follows:(a) Casual mobile computing as currently found on Android and iPad tablets.
(b) Software development in a variety of languages (C/C++, Java, Python, Flash, etc.)
(c) LibreOffice writing, spreadsheets, presentations, and drawing.
(d) Full multimedia entertainment using a fuller set of media types than what is found on the iPad.
I haven't settled on a distribution yet but I am leaning towards Ubuntu with a Unity or Gnome desktop. Other future possibilities include Fedora, openSUSE, Mandriva, and Mint. I might try them all eventually.

Are these like the stone tablets I used in school to learn my numbers on? We etched them with a hammer and chisel. I had to upgrade from a 5" tablet to a bigger one after the numbers 6 through 9 were invented.

Thank you for another giveaway.Besides using the system for general tasks such as checking email, web browsing, etc. I would work towards employing the system towards educational purposes. As a graduate student who also teaches undergraduate classes, being able to employ a tablet for teaching could open new possibilities. The portability and lighter form factor would provide easier accessibility while traveling between classrooms and make it much easier than using a full size laptop for presentations, lectures, and general issues with student concerns.
Also, I am conducting research in the field of exercise physiology and this research not only entails mild to strenuous workouts for the participants, but also consists of a number of survey/interview type measures. Being able to consolidate these measures onto one simple tablet form factor would be highly beneficial and convenient for the participant. Also, being able to have a tablet propped somewhere on a treadmill (where a laptop is obviously too much and a smartphone just doesn't cut it) would allow the participant to receive easy visual feedback measures regarding his/her workout.
This is just a quick brain storm for possibilities. Of course possibilities are always endless.

I was the internet manager at a auto dealership until a severe work load to pay imbalance forced me to return to conventional sales.The dealership does not provide any type of electronic sales tools or internet access for communicating with customers.So..I have decided the tablet would probably work for my needs and I would prefer one for free.Having an i-phone I would probably buy an i-pad if I were to purchace because of familiarity and a pile of apps and my contacts lists.I am not an Apple fanboy and would not mind getting away from them,Free is a great motivator..tecuthre - Saturday, July 9, 2011 - link

If I were chosen, it'd be going home to the parents and siblings.Personally, I write [code and/or documents] too much to see a tablet becoming my primary mobile device. However, I think it'd be perfect for everyone at home.

The 2 hottest tablets that don't start with an "i"! I'd take either one of these over the iPad any day, but the Transformer's optional keyboard makes it a game-changer.

I am actually quite excited about the form factor. At my University, there is some demand for experimentation of tablets. But the big problem remains. Academic faculty's #1 job is writing (which really-really requires a keyboard :). I wish to explore if the Transformer form factor can bridge the advantages of a tablet form factor with the requirements of a keyboard for the extensive writing demands of the academic environment. I will not drop my own money on this project and the school is looking at iPads. But if I win one, it will go through some seriously extensive testing for the specific purposes of graduate school education.hotsacoman - Saturday, July 9, 2011 - link
I am basically starting my life over. Many failed relationships and bad choices have resulted in me taking a look at myself and reevaluating the way I do things. One of the best pieces of advice I've received is from business philosopher Jim Rohn. "Work harder on yourself than you do on your job." That is the ticket to success. One of the most important things to do to improve oneself is to read, which will (if reading the right material) cultivate one's personality into one that is successful. This would be the best use of this tablet. Books on the go, giving me pertinent information that is accessible to me no matter where I am. Thanks.Sam

As an IT professional, it's always a good thing for your IT guy/gal to have a smartphone and a laptop. Well I don't currently have a laptop.I would use the eeepad transformer as a work/test machine. I would get the additional keyboard and try out the OS, use it for work related applications like VPN and VMware apps. Also, many of my clients would love to have me demo tablet technology in general for autoshops, law offices, and construction jobs. If I get this tablet, It would give me the tool I need to make this project happen for my clients.
Have a great day Anandtech!

Excited for the chance. I purchased a Galaxy tablet, but the Sprint folks make it cost ineffective to own, I took it back. No slam on Samsung, because I believe they are now making some of the best home and small business tech out there, but they need to choose their partners a little better. No sign-up fee guaranteed, but my first bill had a whopping $35 fee. Because I had the waived fee documented Sprint backed down, but then they wanted me on a higher data rate plan. NOPEToo it back to BestBuy after trying to deal with Sprint. I picked up a Wi-Fi Transformer, and nothing but glowing reviews of the device. No service provider, so no third party trying to rip me off. BestBuy was not punished as they kept my business, as it was their contract wording that provided a safety net for me with Sprint. This was my second horrible encounter with Sprint, so I guess that makes me the learned idiot, as there will never be a third.

I would give the honeycomb tablet to my mother, she is in her 50s and is on disability now, she has arthritis really bad, has had lower back surgeries, and needs knee replacements, and shoulder work.. sorry for the sap story but i gave her a netbook (ASUS Eee PC, n270 cpu, 1gb ram) but its hard for her to use it, its small and she usually has to sit in a big comfy chair with it resting on her belly and she gets cramped up and finds it painful to use which saddens me.I think a touch based tablet would be far better, she could just hold it with one hand in her lap, and just touch the screen to type, point at things with a finger, i think itd be much easier then using the small & cramped keyboard and touch pad on the netbook. If i could afford one i'd just buy her one.
We'll thanks for the give aways and reviews anandtech!

I'd love a honeycomb tablet because I'm a Google man. I sold my soul to the evil overlord a few years back, and it would be nice to do some of the things I do on my froyo phone on a larger format. Things like:Email, navigation, Google Music, Gdocs, task and calendar, and android games.
One of the biggest things I think would be nice about a tablet form factor is playing emulators. I have them on my phone, but they'd be so much nicer to play on, say, a Transformer since I could directly connect a PS3 controller.
Right now, playing old NES and SNES games is difficult on my phone, so I still end up lugging out my NES and SNES (yes, I still have them. Been blowing one cartridges for nigh on 20 years now) when I'm feeling a bit nostalgic.
From what I read, Polaris office is awesome, and I like the possibilty of interfacing with my PC via Logmein Ignition.
I'd be sweet to get the whole setup for $150 (because I'd have to buy me that keyboard: usb and an extra 6 hours of battery? I'm in!)

I'd definitely use a Honeycomb tablet as deeply-useful web-connected information/media tool for certain parts of my house (such as my living room, where a computer is not present).But otherwise, its primary purpose would be using it in class for taking notes - my laptop is awful, runs out of battery really quick (20-30 minutes), and is too large and unwieldy for a classroom setting. I noticed several people in my classes last quarter using tablets for notes. They're beyond-great tools that'd actually help me keep my thoughts organized and approach the class in a more prepared manner.

Also some fun in between work would be nice, the awsome screen made for watching full HD movies and some games here and there, hey "All work and no play makes jack a dull boy" :-). Also that new google maps features come in really handy when figuring out how to get quicky between point A and B.Thats how i'm planning on using the Table, that's if my wife ever lets me use after she sees it.

I do a lot of remote support for my customers. A convenient form factor like a tablet would help, as it is easier to carry than a full laptop. Currently I do some of this on my phone (Samsung Infuse 4G) with LogMeIn Ignition, but the screen is too small. That would be much easier to do on a tablet. I am torn about which one I would like better, as I have heard good things about either tablet. I really like how sleek my new Samsung Infuse 4G is, so I might prefer the Galaxy Tab 10.1. But either would be great for my purpose.Lets not forget about entertainment, gotta stream my Crunchyroll and HBOGO!
Thank You!

I would attach a hang glider and a mifi to it with duct tape and remote desktop into the pc that controls my fully automated war-locomotive and use it to direct electrolaser and railgun attacks at the vehicles of my enemies as I soar above the fray, riding the thermals like an eagle in an eagle costume. They'd all be like, "that's my car" and I'd be like "can't hear you, I'm too busy destroying your car with my Eee Pad Transformer". That's provided that my enemies park their cars within sight of a train track, which I will ensure that they do.sigmabeta - Sunday, July 10, 2011 - link

Hello Anandtech!I would love to have one of these tablets because it would definitely be a step-up from my netbook with helping me take notes at school! I am letting my mom borrow my netbook currently until the semester starts, but if I can be so fortunate to win a tablet from here, then I won't have to take it back from her and I can probably start planning on rooting (if possible; not too keen with Android). This would be the ultimate college gift as I had to pay for EVERYTHING once I got into college.
Thanks!
Eddie

I have Android Envy and you can help me solve it. My wife and kids all have Android phones and get to play with all the "sweet flavors" of Android. But since my work provides my phone, I am stuck in Blackberry jam. I love honey, so a tablet full of Honeycomb would really sweeten my life. The tablet would stick with me everywhere I went allowing me to stop using paper and be greener at work and, like I said at the first, would allow me to personally experience the ooey goodness that is Android. I feel that it is my just deserts that I would be the one in my house with the best form factor since I was the last to get an Android device.Meditaeshun - Sunday, July 10, 2011 - link

Hi Anandtech,I have 2 kids that love Zoodles. It is their favorite game on my phone, but the screen is so small and of course we are talking about an OG Droid so I would use it for educational purposes for my children as well as video chat with them when I'm off on some business trip.

I would use this tablet to bridge the gap between my desktop and my mobile phone. My wife is always talking about wanting something more mobile than a desktop but more powerful than a mobile phone but at an entry price of 400-600 we just can't afford it.I would skype to my family back home, chat with my friends, watch television, and stream content to my television. My wife and I would cook using a recipes application and we would read with the kindle application. We could both send email and get work related tasks done. It would really be helpful to have such a device.
That's what I would use with this device and that's why I want this device!

I would use the tablet in many ways.First, my wife can use it for her surfing and shopping. Then if possible use it to download books to read.
I will use it for banking, and keeping track of my stock portfolio.
When my grandkids are here they can use it for playing games and music and since there are two grandkids they can fight over it. LOL Then, when my daughters are here they can use it for whatever they do.
Having another way to handle day to day items will make life easier and keep the grandkids happy.

If my name was selected, I would use the Asus Eee Pad Transformer as an entry point to learning the Android platform as much as possible in order to do two things: First, share the knowledge I gain to teach others how to use their Android based tablets via authoring articles / how-tos; and direct contact with my clients who ask me to tutor them in the use of their tablets. Second, given the unique feature-set of the Eee Pad Transformer; I would contribute towards the Android Marketplace with "apps" that would help maximize the utility of the dual tablet and laptop.esper34 - Sunday, July 10, 2011 - link

Apart from the typical activities like web, e-mail, and other stuff on the go... I'd get my hands of the development environment and see what kinds of neat things you can do in regards to software for tabletop gaming and game mastering: Interactive maps, puzzles, combat trackers, character sheet databases, and other handy tools all at your fingertips. If all worked well with the first, I'd probably expand to allow multiple Honeycomb tablets to network together to allow the game master his own master tablet and the players their own. Nothing like being able to limit information between players, keep secrets, and a popping few unexpected surprises without passing paper notes (which always clue players in.)deject - Sunday, July 10, 2011 - link

I am a Network Engineering student at NCSU in Raleigh. I am in need of something lightweight and energy efficient and I think this fits the bill.

I'm a 2nd year pharmacy student and the bane of my studies is taking biochem notes. The professor is completely aware that she's teaching too quickly got us to write out property notes, "to instill a sense of prioritization." Well, I'd prefer to prioritize after I get all the notes and we students just don't have the time to record and review her lectures. I need good notes the first time I write them. I need something with a keyboard and a large touch screen. I type MUCH faster than I write, but I need to draw molecules and mechanisms and jmol/chemdraw aren't as efficient as a pen and paper. I would really like a Eee Pad Transformer. I'll buy my own stylus and keyboard :)ksujedi - Sunday, July 10, 2011 - link

Just how Asus "transformed" the netbook market. they are doing it again to the Tablet market - maybe they didn't start it this time, but they are shooting some big cannons across the bow's of the early entrants to the Tablet market.

Not really sure what i would do with one. I've been watching tablets, and they just don't seem useful to me. Who knows, maybe I'm wrong, but at the current prices I'm not ready to pull the trigger for something I'm not sure I would like.

I have drooled over android tablets since I got to play with one recently. I would use one of these tablets in every facet of my digital life:1. At work - Android supports VPN and I would be able to coordinate meetings, join websessions, even edit google docs strait from my tablet. This would probably be my biggest gain from this.
2. At home - Let's be clear, watching TV and browsing the 'net has become a lazy command center for us all as we have phones, laptops, TVs blaring at us all the time. This would help me finally stop being buried under piles of tech by consolidating to one device!
3. Gaming - Love me some of the new RPGs and racing games that have come out. More please!
4. Kids - OK fine Daddy will let you play for a few minutes.
Pick me!

I would love to win one of these honeycomb tablets because I think I would use it in the best way. I work in IT right now and it would be really cool to have one of these to help the employees of my company use their computers better. Also, I could use it as a teaching tool and show other people what android is capable of and just how great of a technology these tablets are. I recently lost my brother and have been struggling with it alot and this would just make my year, because he, as well as I, loved technology and always wanted to have the latest and greatest.pathfinder78 - Monday, July 11, 2011 - link

I am a photographer and offer voluntary services to NGOs. This makes it difficult for me to manage money between photography gear and mobile computing gear that can help me edit pictures.I use online apps in Chrome browser for editing pictures (keeps costs really down). If I can get a tablet with Honeycomb, I can install chrome and the online apps on the go (in trains and buses) and do more work on the go.
I really plan to by one of these powerful tables so that i can better manage my editing and storage work for photography.

Villainous figures in general would much rather sit back and watch the weather channel than dare an encounter with me and my Transformer.rwhonline - Monday, July 11, 2011 - link

With another semester's worth of textbook expenses approaching, I would use this tablet as an e-reader to save money that I directly need to pay for the increased tuition my school will be charging next semester. The close integration of Google services into Honeycomb would make it an ideal laptop replacement as well - saving me the energy of hauling my current laptop around and also cutting my power consumption.moutwtrng - Monday, July 11, 2011 - link

I've been on the fence about buying an android tablet for a while to start developing for Android as well as to see what a tablet can provide that a laptop cannot. I went as far as to pre-order an ASUS Transformer from Target only to see the order cancelled.The only things that are stopping me now is the rumored next generation of Kal-el tablets that can play High profile HD video as well as the fact that I don't know yet if a tablet is really necessary or cost-justified.
I would like to see the price/performance differential between the current and next generation before committing the money for a tablet. It would be great to win a tablet to find out if the "tablet experience" is all that it's made out to be as well as to get started with Android platform development.

The Transformer would aid me in my battle against the monstrosity simply known as "school". With the tablet at my side, no longer will I be weighed down by an endless supply of books or continuously growing pile of notes. Instead, I would use the Transformer to slay the "homework" and "sleepless nights," the top generals of "school's" vast army. Choose me, allow me to be victorious in my never ending battles to achieve the title of "college graduate."endlsswing - Tuesday, July 12, 2011 - link

I'm in a series of "decreases" in life; cutting the cable cord, cutting the land-line phone, and I would like to attempt to even go as far as cutting a laptop!

As she's fixing to have a baby I think the tablet would be much easier to use than her normal 17" laptop. It's portability would be enough of a bonus to actually justify the switch. And while she doesn't use anything with Android right now, I love my Android based phone. (I have no doubt I'll get stuck on getting this or that installed and/or working anyway.) I've tried the iPhone and I personally just don't like it so the iPad is almost my last choice. (And before the witchhunt begins yes I can live with the fragmentation, I've tried both jailbroken/rooted, and the feel of the Android even with it's faults satisfy my preferences more than the iOS product.)quickbunnie - Tuesday, July 12, 2011 - link

would do everything I do on my laptop without the boot-time wait and the weight. Paying bills online would be a breeze and my son would appreciate watching movies on a bigger screen with something he can actually holds. I might even get my Inspire 4G back from his little hand and free some room on my SD card from all his movies! Travel will also be so much better. Taking notes and accessing papers will be a lot easier at work as well. My wife will appreciate the upgrade from her netbook [as convenient as it has been over the past few years]. So Anandtech there it is: online access, movie viewing, note-taking and paper reading..all with a faster boot-time at a fraction of the weight of a laptop.Thx

I have a lot of uses for an android tablet. Here are just a few.- In car entertainment (podcast, music, streaming), car navigation, hands free phone, kids babysitter, audible books
- At home internet device, entertainment device, internet phone, casual games, e-reader
- on travel device for all the same functions above, but also picture viewing, and personal movie device on plane where I don't have to worry about battery LIFE!
I am not an android user (yet), but am very curious how android is. I had a WM6.X PDA and I really liked all the functionality of the touch screen and applications. WM PDA's didn't have as many apps though or games but I got a lot us use out of it. The mobility functions though is what I really want. The windows touch tablets are just too expensive!

I work in an environment that is always trying to lean toward the green side of things.I would use this to replace my current notepad and pen while walking around helping staff with their computers.
I would take notes while at a staff member's computer, then come back, and sync them up with my battle-station, and increase my productivity 10 fold by not having to copy my notes down more than once.
I would then take it on my hour and a half bus ride home and watch a favorite show, catch up on reading, or just browse reddit till I get home.
Honestly, that is everything I would do with it. I would make it a productive part of my daily life.

Right now in my life I am a full time student and a full time worker. I work all day and go to school all evening. I have a Samsung Vibrant right now, where I handle everything from storing my documents, pictures, music, and videos. I type all of my school work and work documents on Google Docs so I can bring them with me on the go. I also use Gmail excessivly to communicate not only between my work clients but also my teachers and classmates.Having a tablet I think would be extremely helpful for keeping up with my data on the go. Having my documents on a larger screen would make it easier to edit on the go. Being able to sit down with a larger screen would help me not only stay in touch with my clients, but I can also communicate with friends and family through social networks.
Since my job also requires a lot of driving, having a larger Google maps on the go would be pretty nice to have as well. Seeing as how most of my life's information is in the Google Cloud, I think having an Android Tablet would really be a good way for me to access that data.

3) MOST importantly, I will proudly and obnoxiously flaunt the superior product to my iPad owning friends and co-workers, and laugh when all they can come up with is, "Well, it has FaceTime..."

I would use either of these tables (although ideally the transformer) for IT work at my job, among other things. I have to run around to a lot of computers and input IP address and DNS info and so on, as well as keep track of which computer has been assigned which IP, and I'm terrible at remembering numbers. A tablet would be a perfect way to have easy access to the Google Doc where I keep my network information while I run from computer to computer.Also it would be great to have something to read on the can.

I would use a new honeycomb tablet to help me at the local hackerspace. I am always looking up data sheets and rummaging around tech sites to find the reference information that I need to complete my projects. With a new tablet I could save valuable desk space (no more bulky keyboard and laptop base to take up project workspace!). I would also be able to more readily navigate the data sheets as a touch based interface is much more intuitive for getting around those documents.locmap - Wednesday, July 13, 2011 - link

If I won a tablet, I'd use it to replace my wife's aging XP laptop that takes over 5 minutes to even boot (it's ancient!).

Not much sets me apart from the others hungry for this amazing tablet. I've been an Asus fan for years now, and I've had an itch to play with this lovely thing since the rumors first spilled onto the internet. I work in the social and mobile games biz, and I love fiddling with the apps others come up with. I'm a big reader, too, and I've wanted a tablet to broaden my ebook collection beyond the limits of the Kindle. On top of that, I'm an artist, and this tablet and I would get along splendidly when showing off my digital work on it's amazing screen.I've been in the market for a small machine to cart around with me (I'm also pursuing a writing career and need something portable for those on-the-go bursts of creativity) and, while I lust for a tablet, they're way out of my price range and a netbook may be my only option. (Asus, of course!) I'd much rather have the advantages a tablet offers, however. If I won the Transformer, it would never have a chance to collect dust--I'd use it every day, for a variety of tasks.
I hope whoever wins this beautiful piece of machinery finds it as useful in their lives as I believe it would be in mine! Thanks giving us such a neat opportunity!

I would greatly appreciate if you would consider me for one of the tablets. I would mainly use the tablet in class for note-taking during my lectures. The included office suite would be very helpful for that. Secondly, of course gaming, you aren't going to get an Nvidia Tegra 2 powered tablet just for productivity are you? That would be like using a super computer to add 2 + 2. I have also been working on a DMX interface for Android using the ADK, and this tablet would be very useful for making a better tablet friendly interface compared to my current 4" phone(Samsung Epic.) Basically, I'd use it for everything I can, the options are almost limitless with the selection of apps available in the Market. Be it using it as a gaming controller for my PC, controlling my Bluray Player or Boxee, or just using the calculator(2+2 anyone?) This would also generate a $150 sale for an online retailer as I will be buying the keyboard dock for it if I am chosen.obishinobi - Wednesday, July 13, 2011 - link

Well, in a few months, I'll be shipping out to the Navy. So having one of these bad boys would be incredibly useful, from reading ebooks, to watching movies, playing games, and keeping in touch with people (whenever we can get wifi, at least, haha), whenever I've got downtime. So yeah, even though the winner is randomly chosen out of all the comments, this would be my use for one of these. :Dfranciscoadon - Wednesday, July 13, 2011 - link

Becoming a College student within the next few months, I have been looking into the Transformer already and have found it ideal for my use cases.Media Consumption
-(web browsing, watching movies, listening to music, viewing photos I've personally taken)
Social Networking
-(Keeping in touch with family and friends)
I'd invest in the Keyboard Dock and also utilize it for:
Productivity
-(Google Docs/Office Suites)
Casual Gaming
-(Emulators, Popular Apps)
I also hope to use it, to help with learning to Develop for Android, and appreciate the chance to win the Transformer, Thanks AnandTech

What would I do if I won one? Use it to surf the web, play a few games but most importantly I'd use it to carry around the 400+ song lead sheets I normally have to carry around in a 6" binder and the some 200+ "specials" song lead sheets I have to carry around in an additional 2" binder for playing guitar at church. That would save my shoulders from lugging around an additional 5 to 8 pounds of paper, plastic, and metel that make up the binders. One would save me a lot of trouble. I could make good use of one as a tool, and occasionally a toy...Thanks for the opportunity!
