Asus gets cocky. (EEE Transformer)

The storage tab in settings shows 27.8GB. The system itself is pretty bare bones, especially compared to my HTC Incredible S. It had Polaris Office and a few Asus apps (My Cloud, My Library, My Net, File Manager), nothing extra. It only came with 16 widgets, 5 from Asus, the rest from Google.

I haven't tried Splashtop over the internet, but reveiws I've read have said it doesn't work well.

 

Considering 32GB formatted is 29.8, that's not too bad I suppose. Was that including your movies and stuff you put on it?

I figured as much. I guess gaming over Splashtop is out. Still a nice thought though.

Oh! One big favor, if you wouldn't mind. What sort of accessibility settings are there? I have really bad eyesight (about 7% of average) and I'm hoping there's a font size option at least. A lot of the fonts - icon, and menus in particular - aren't exactly huge.

 

I'll take a few screenshot of the system. The only accessibility option is a screen reader, and you need to download and install that yourself. If you already have an android device and uses other accessibility apps, then there is a chance those apps could work. Compatibility is not guaranteed between android 2.x and 3.0.

Splashtop is limited to 1027x768 or 800x600, so gaming may work. I'll give it a try to see what happens, but I have my doubts about trying to emulate mouse movements with a touchpad.

Just tried playing a strategy game (Elemental) through Splashtop and the experience is just not that good. Click and drag doesn't seem work, at least I haven't figure out how to perform it. If you're looking to play 2D games, chances are you can get a version optimized for tablets.

 

A little disappointing, but neither were deal breakers for me. Thanks for the info.

 

What are people's opinions on the Asus EEE Transformer? I was looking at picking one up since it looks like a very cool device and may come in useful for university. Plus it's only $400 for the 16GB model without the battery/keyboard/xyz dock.

 

Given the price drop ( http://forum.notebookreview.com/not...eyboard-dock-500-free-shipping-ncix-com.html)), should I pick one up? Sounds like a good device for university.
