for many, the value proposition of apple products means that they less expensive—that is, they cost less frustration. this is not always so—you consider a card reader and usb-slot and keyboard dock to be a net win, but not everyone feels that way, and considering the dearth of honeycomb apps still, it's no surprise that not everyone feels that way.

anyway: putting out (and i paraphrase) ipads aren't a better value for most is either uninformed, dishonest or plain trolling.

for the record, i like the transformer—great screen, pretty fantastic hardware, but good is hardware without great software?
