Asus Prime Transformer – a big step forward for Android tablets
Those who know me and read my past articles know that I’m not a big fan of Android tablets and that I prefer to use an iPad 2 daily, while my toy with Android HoneyComb remains almost unused.
However, foresee that this will change soon; the few days spent in the company of the new Prime Transformer from Asus is enough to make me understand this. Besides the classic problem of third-party applications (or rather the lack thereof), tablets and Asus Transformer, Acer Iconia Tab A500 or Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 suffers from a major drawback: the experience of everyday use that offers to potential buyers is not as that “nice” as that offered by iPad.
We not enter in the controversy about this statement, we can discuss in comments if you want. The fact is that the shortcomings have two causes: hardware (Nvidia Tegra 2) is not efficient or effective enough, and software (Android HoneyComb) still has plenty of flaws and shortcomings, though it has evolved much from what was to launch in spring.
Asus’s Prime Transformer tested is able to solve one problem, bringing to the forefront through hardware platform Nvidia Tegra 3, while the second aspect will also be improved by the end of January 2011, when Android 4.0 will make Icecream Sandwich official entry tablet market.
Currently, Prime owned by mine for a few days run a version with slight changes to HoneyComb’s, still with bugs in handling multitasking problems and qualities to make full use Tegra 3 platform.
