Why are people paying so much attention to Samsung tablets? They're shit, multitasking aside.
Get the Asus Transformer Pad Infinity already. It's got a 1080p screen, is the 3rd iteration of a technically good (if not commercially successful) tablet line, has essentially stock Android, will receive quick software updates to new Android versions, and costs $500.
I've been watching this one Because my wife does a lot of illustration so the pen stuff might outweigh the other issues with it. I just don't see anything else on the horizon. Win8 seems DOA to me. Considering the reviews though I think we'll wait a few months and pickup one when they are dumping stock for cheap
The TF300 is $399, slightly slower, and already on JB. Save yourself $100. I updated to JB on the weekend. ASUS is doing this right. HTC/Samsung and the rest of the "our skins takes months to work out the bugs" are on the losing side of history.
I love my TF300, especially with the dock. I'd like the extra screen res but since I only watch SD video and browse the web, 1200x800 is more than fine. Higher resolution would be useful with multitasking, but for full screen apps I'll keep my $100.
Stick to ASUS for Android tablets, great hardware at good prices. The $500 model is the 32GB version. Also, to reiterate the quick updates, ASUS updated the TF300 model to JellyBean this week (1 month turnaround from 4.1 code release)
