... if only i could... with my TF101

[Outlaw7]

After reading your post Goodintentions it occured to me that an article about using the tablet for business would be a good idea. Might you be interested in pointing this out in such an article, sending it to the Endgagets, Droid Life, Time magazine etc. ?? A lot of people are simply unaware of the potential uses in a business enviroment.

Swipe - you inspired me and I wrote an article - currently in contact with ZD and PC World. I will check on Endgadgets and DroidLife as well!

Inquiries in to Endgadgets and Droid Life! Wish me luck guys.

IF ONLY I COULD

1. Do some WYSIWYG Webpage editing
2. Print directly using the USB port on the dock
3. ... or even use the printer shared on a network
4. Resize the open windows
5. get some USB to Ethernet dongle, if there's any that works
6. auto save pics and vids in microSD

I'd probably be happier
had my TF for bout 2 weeks now

any help will be greatly appreciated.
thank you very much in advance

Which is exactly why I am writing the article - to show the productive and BUSINESS application I purchased my TF for. Yes - the things listed are difficult, but there ways to do them, and once you figure them out, the time savings of being able to do all this stuff, plus everything else I want it to do, is PRICELESS!

I've already tried this many times. I've written many many times to writers of igadgets, idroid life, iTime mag, etc. Trust me, they are all ipad users. The few of them that actually took the time to write a review on android tablets have done so after spending may be half an hour with the android tablet.

The tech media aren't even trying to hide their apple bias. It's become very obvious.

About 3 months ago, I stumbled upon an article that compared an "android tablet" with the ipad 2. The writer had nothing but good things for the ipad 2 and nothing but bad things for the "android tablet". It struck me very odd that throughout the article, I couldn't find a single mention of what the android tablet was. Then there was a picture. I zoomed in and lo and behold it was one of those cheap android tablets from china that you could get for like $80. It wasn't even running android 3.0.

About this time last month, I stopped trying to reach out to the tech media about their bias. Apple tells them these gadgets are strictly for fun and games, and that's what they will continue to tell people.

I wouldn't exactly use the word "difficult". I'd say different. No doubt, when the printing press first came out, there were many people who have spent their entire lives copying writings by hand finding the printing press "difficult" to use. Same could be said about the transition between the type writer and the desktop PC.

The recurring theme about tablet users that I've found is as soon as they get their hands on one they would try to use it like a laptop. I know, habits are hard to break.

I'm not saying and have never said the tablet could replace the desktop PC or the laptop. What I am saying is that if one is willing one can find many useful things for it that couldn't be done before.

Just earlier today, I was watching a movie in the lounge when someone approached me and asked about my keyboard dock. He had bought a transformer and wanted to see if it was worth it to get the dock. So, I undocked my TF and let him try it out. You know what he did? The first thing he did after he docked his tablet was reached for the touchpad and tried to use it. I unhooked my touchpad long ago. When he realized the touchpad wasn't working, he was completely lost. Even though he's got a multi-touch screen right in front of him, he dared to ask me "how do I move things around or go into apps?"

This may be hard to accept, but there are people out there who still find poking the app icon harder to do than using the touchpad to move the cursor to it and press the touchpad button.

You should have seen the look on his face when I showed him my cornerstone UI.
