In terms of purely specifications the Asus Transformer is at the front of the pack. It joins a small crowd of other very well spec’d units like the Acer Iconia Tab A500 which is one of the only tablets to have a full size USB port built into it, something the Transformer lacks. Though the Acer is running Android 3.1 vs the Transformers 3.2.1 the Acer has a cheaper pricetag by $50. Also in this pack are the Motorola Xoom and Samsung Galaxy Tab each at about the same price as the Transformer.

  1. HTC Desire Z is still a great phone and HTC should update it to ICS!

  2. Both of the AnTuTu screenshots are from the TF101, look closely and you will see the words “My Device” in the screenshot.

  3. The screen shot of AnTuTu is for Transformer Prime, not TF101. 😉
