    Amazon is on backorder already. I checked and most places are at $399.99 or more, so for me even $10 savings (or more) is pretty decent...but whatever you can decide that....

    Good find. Beats the ipad 2 and xoom prices by a lot. Plus the added functionality of the dock is promising.

    Mine shows up as $359.99 when I check out after a $40 discount. Great deal. Does this include the keyboard it shows in the picture?

    I *think* that is an optional purchase..here it is at amazon (not availi' yet), if you do order from Target I would get confirmation whether or not it's included w/purchase.
    Amazon.com: ASUS Eee Pad Transformer TF101 Keyboard/Docking Station: Electronics

    B&H photo has it listed for $149, but no availi' date yet:

    Definitely tempting, but I'm not sure how much I'd use it.

    I already have an Android tablet and I was gung ho about it for the first month or 2... Now I am only So-So on using it. I just have a 7' running 2.2, but still... This is a great deal, but its not exactly a laptop replacement. Just throwing it out there.

    I just got ipad (1st gen) and this Asus was my 2nd choice. I would order one if i have not gotten the ipad.
