Asus Transformer Prime or iPad?
This holiday season, I am debating on wether or not to get a Transformer Prime or iPad 3 (wait until it is released of course) Please try to be as unbiased as possible and give valid points for your reasoning, please. Also, with android, do some apps work/look crumby because they were optimized for other devices or does it generally look good? Thanks!

Depends on your needs. iPad 2 may be a better pure tablet, but the Transformer Prime is the best tablet + laptop combination.
The versatility of the Prime and 16-hour battery life are what set it apart from other tablets and laptops. That's why the original Transformer won awards for tablet of the year *and* laptop of the year. The Prime improves on the original Transformer in every way.
Ipad's software, that is the apps and such are first class, spec-wise the ipad 2 is almost a dinosaur, to be honest it depends on whether or not you can handle the tablet experience without Itunes, from what I hear, the android app store is a big mess, and if you've already been spoiled by itunes, then I'd say get an Ipad.
However, the Prime has more storage options such as mini sd card slots, it's memory is actually expandable, the lack of which I hate on Ipad, the camera is 8 megapixels and can take HD video, try that with an Ipad, and it has the optional keyboard dock, which prolongs the already lengthy battery life, you can get upwards of 2 or 3 days usage from a full charge depending on what you're doing.
If you're not an app junkie, get the prime better bang for your buck, and if you just wanna do simple stuff like browse and stream movies and such, the Prime has one of the best displays seen on a tablet, and pound for pound is actually cheaper than an Ipad, plus you'll be the first to experience ice cream sandwich, which will supposedly make things run smoother on Android.
It all comes down to what you want out of the tablet, if you're looking for a good UI, something simple and easy right out of the box, get Ipad, but if you want the latest specs, and good hardware, get the prime, me myself I'm choosing a prime, since Itunes app store has lost it's luster to me. I hope this helps.
Also I'd like to add that when saving movies, Prime has better format support, so you won't have to convert all your movies and such, and the conversion process can be a *****, another slight plus

Probably an iPad. Other tablets are epic and awesome, but the iPad's like 1st class. P.S. I would get an iPad 2, same thing but better. (and thinner)
