I'm looking to buy a (cheap) car ... and one if the things I'll also add into consideration is to modify the centre dash to make room for a tablet. I want it to fit an 8.9" tablet there, so I can hook it up to the amplifier (under the front passanger seat).

But the ASUS Transformer is fantastic that it can actually displace the need for a netbook or my Acer 4810TG. Someone needs to bring the "transformer" addition to the 8.9" size >D

Well, there are cases out there that incorporate a BT keyboard and they can be had for much less than $150. These are available for the Galaxy Tab 7, and iPad, but I suppose that they would be avaliable for other devices as well.

One downside is that they don't dock nearly as well as the Transformer, and they don't improve the battery life of the system. In fact, they may take it down a bit in that BT is required to be on.

Lastly, there is no touchpad built into these devices, so it's just a functional keyboard.

The transformer wins clearly with its well integrated component, but there is still hope! Here's hoping that some manufacturer decides to build a Tab 8.9 case, complete with keyboard and touchpad.
