Best Buy mocks iPad in Eee Pad Transformer promo

You can not accuse Best Buy's marketing department to be afraid to shoot the golden goose. The company may be one of the few retailers to offer Apple iPad 2, but it has not prevented him from taking pot shots at the slate-IOS in its new ASUS Eee promotion transformer pad. Introducing the new 10.1-inch tablet Honeycomb Android 3.0 platform paired with its intelligent keyboard battery and armed, in contrast with the retailer which is clearly an iPad taped to a keyboard, titled "Like That. But it is better. "

We agree with Best Buy that the combination of transformer life battery booster - pushing the longevity to a maximum of 16 hours - and easier text input with keyboard platform through an improved 2 IPAD Bluetooth keyboard. In fact, Apple seems to be pushing back to talk to the traditional text input on the platform at all, still no sign of an updated list of keyboard Apple Dock for second generation.

That's enough to convince customers at the point of sale remains to be seen whether the price tag of $ 400 should pick up some attention, because it undermines the input level IPAD 2 of about $ 100. No word on exactly when the transformer arrives in stores, the launch in the UK on Wednesday.
