[QUOTE="Banshee16, post: 5722958, member: 7883"] A $70 bluetooth keyboard doesn't charge your iPad, or include USB ports or SD card slots does it ? Those have all been part of the overall utility of the Transformer that I posted about above.....if I'm mistaken, so be it, but the bluetooth keyboards I've seen didn't have those features.....and those features are a big part of why this works. That having been said, as I mentioned, everyone has different needs. The iPad also doesn't have file system access, which is another big part of it. There are apps to do it, but the ones I've tried on my iPhone were very much inferior, as they didn't give full access. As it is, after a year I have tonnes of orphaned data taking up wasted space on my iPhone, and no way to get at it and clean it out. I seem to have noticeably less room available on my phone a year after getting it than when I first bought it....even after wiping and resetting the phone. Either I'm missing something obvious, there are tricks that Apple people know that I don't, or that's just the way it's designed. Being able to see the files on my device, move them, delete them, send them in e-mails as attachements...all very useful. I don't understand how someone would NOT find those useful. And short of carrying around a bunch of attachments, the whole process of taking photos out of the camera was very easy. One could flip the argument around and say there's nothing you can do with an iPad 2 that you can't do with an Android tablet. That's why the whole "my device is better than your device" war we see with the two OS' is kind of silly....they're all useful. Just depends on needs, comfort level, and budget. Banshee [/QUOTE]
