The remarkable initial impression of the Transformer was how quickly it picked up all my information. After opening the box and charging the tablet the first item you see is to enter you gmail account information. From this information the Transformer automatically updated our contacts, calendar, facebook, android apps, and even our wifi location settings (including passwords!) from our android Motorola Droid Pro phone. We only had to add our AOL email info and then download some specific android Tablet apps.
We've been looking for a better calendar app since the android app is pretty simple. We like to enter appointments in the field and see week/month activities fairly quickly. Both of those tasks are tough with the android calendar app. We found several and are evaluating them now. We also added the Opera Android browser. This is a fast browser that has tabbed windows and has a 6 panel favorite sites (like google chrome) you can quickly switch to. I wonder why there isn't Google Chrome for andoid yet.
The USA Today and the CNBC apps for android tablet are also very nice and I highly recommend them for news and financial updates. We put on several card games and of course Angry birds (regular and rio versions!).
Battery life has been very good (around 8 hours) and now we should get near 16 hours with the docking keyboard. My initial impression of the keyboard is positive. Having a trackpad is a huge help with editing in any app. Also nice are the dedicated keys that just make using the tablet on the Internet very easy.
We've had no problems getting on WiFi sites. The antenna seems strong and we have had very few Internet drops (less them my laptops!). The tablet is about the same speed as my Lenovo Windows 7 laptop. Some sites take a bit longer to load, but that happens on all Internet devices.
