He LOVED the fact that I was slipping it into my hip pocket (sharing my wallet in that same pocket) and that it didn't look like it took up too much room--very portable. He owns a business and he already had an iPad 2 and didn't like it for a myriad of reasons and wanted to give an Android tablet a shot--and he was already sold on the 7-inch size. We started talking over the demo devices and in the end it seemed like the HTC Flyer was the best, really. He didn't need a carrier (he already had a data plan on his phone and could tether from it, if he wanted to--but 90% of the time he'd be using SOME kind of wifi either at work, home, trips, etc. anyway). The single biggest clincher, to me, was that it already had Android 2.3.x and the pretty nice tablet-sized HTV SenseUI. He left pretty happy. Kinda wish I'd had my business cards with me to follow-up--but then, I'm not a salesperson. heh
So what time are you guys going for coffee?

lol just kidding!

Dan I was wondering if I can get your opinion on something. There is a COSTCO that opened up in my suburb (in Sydney) and today they've got a special on the ASUS Transformer for $444 -16gb wifi no dock.
Is it a good price?

I really like it, but then again I am planning on buying a new Macbook Air + Apple DVD-drive ($1,100 - $1,400) and dualbooting Win7 off it, so I don't think the tablet would get much use I hope. Offcourse this means selling my current laptop Acer 4810 (perhaps I can grab AU$900 for it), funny enough I'm always on a budget.

If it was 8.9", I would implement it in my car, so I'd buy it right away, but any size larger and it wont fit ... so I'm having doubts.
Especially with Xmas creeping up, it seems the latest and greatest is a stonesthrow away.
