He was right about one thing though, there is NO innovation on the tablet and smartphone market atm, just small hardware increments.
There is nothing that i want to spend my money on.
But I do like some of the Asus products...

There Is Just Nothing Like It.Is it just me... or doesn't it looks VERY much like the original Motorola Droid from almost two years ago? Even the 5mp camera... and although the screen is slightly larger, it's a lower resolution than the Droid at 854x480. The lack of a slide-out keyboard, faster processor and RAM are about the only real differences, outside the OS... Oh right--same OS, too.
Nothing else is like it. Innovative. Striking. Unique. The Grid4 stands alone. A new design. Features and functionality not found elsewhere. Powered by the amazing GridOS. You will never think of phones in the same way again. See for yourself.
So basically, it's a lower-res, keyboardless but faster Motorola Droid?Compare:
Motorola Droid A855: http://developer.motorola.com/products/droid/
Fusion Garage Grid 4: http://www.fusiongarage.com/grid-4/tech-specs
How is the Grid 4 "NOTHING LIKE IT?"
Edit: Although, I didn't see that before--a front-facing camera. That's kinda cool--but what apps will work with it? For that matter... what Android version is their OS compatible with? Android 2.2? 2.3? 3.x? 4?

Grid 10 vs Asus Transformer
Grid 10 - $499 - 16GB
CPU - Nvidia Tegra II 1.2Ghz Dual Core
RAM - 512MB
Display Type
10.1" TFT LCD (1366 x 768)
4 points Capacitive Touch Panel
Transformer - $399 - 16GB
CPU - Nvidia Tegra II 1Ghz Dual Core - My Transformer is running @ 1.4GHz rock stable
RAM - 1GB
Display Type
10.1" IPS LED Backlight WXGA (1280x800)
10 finger multi-touch support
Scratch resistant glass - Gorilla Glass
As far as I'm concerned, the Transformer beats it on EVERYTHING including price.
The only thing the Grid 10 has that the Transformer doesn't is 3G. I don't need it.
Battery life is not mentioned, but I don't believe it comes close to the 10h+ I am getting on the Tablet alone.
Just a long list of FAIL!

There Is Just Nothing Like It.
Nothing else is like it. Innovative. Striking. Unique. The Grid4 stands alone. A new design. Features and functionality not found elsewhere. Powered by the amazing GridOS. You will never think of phones in the same way again. See for yourself.
Nothing Will Ever Look The Same Again.
Grid4 is just one big display. 4 inches of apps, high-resolution photos, movies, web pages, and more
Amazingly Sexy. Amazingly Sleek.
It will be hard to look away from a Grid4. It’s amazingly sexy. It’s amazingly sleek. There are no buttons. There are no curves. Its just 4 inches of all screen. The straight edges scream simplicity. It’s a triumph of honest design. The all-aluminum back is a nice touch. It’s shaped around the function with no artificial design. You will turn heads with a Grid4 in your hands
