    The Transformer sets itself apart from other tablets on the market by featuring an optional docking station.

    Docking station features:

    • Full QWERTY keyboard
    • Touchpad
    • 2x USB ports
    • SD card Reader
    • Additional battery power ( now that’s excellent) extends 6.5 hours to a total combined 16 hours of battery life

    Price:
    Rumored to be targeted at a sweet spot of 400$ only ( without the keyboard docking station)
    IF that turns out to be true, then it surely is not bad at all for a Tegra 2 , IPS display, 1GB LPDDR2 and Honeycomb.
