I wish more manufacturers would follow Asus's lead with the Transformer, Samsung especially. They don't even have to promote it together, just offer the option as an accessory. What's there to lose from that? Actually, Samsung does offer some keyboards for their 10.1 tablets, but they feel completely disjointed, like it's just a regular keyboard, not an integrated one. I want to be able to turn it into a laptop and use it as a laptop, not just as a dock for the tablet that I could only use at home.
The top down Apple Way and the exploratory Android Way (they have other competing qualities besides). I'm pretty happy to see this going on and happy that both are having success. I'd also be happy to see MS join in with another Way.
Anyway, rather than follow a lead I would like to see other manufacturers explore different paths. If Asus do well enough, other manufacturers will follow anyway. For now Id like to see manufacturers work on making Android laptops/netbooks that can replace Windows/Mac for some people or some cases. It seems to me that the making it "a table too" would be more natural than making it "a netbook too."
