The Transformer Prime shows how Android tablets could and should be built. And this tablet actually lives up to the hype as far as speed and performance goes. It's easily the fastest Android tablet out there
And may well be faster than the iPad 2—though

Not a lot of software optimized for quad-core CPU
Occasional hiccups and stuttersKeyboard on dock is less than perfect
GPS and WiFi woes
Weak
Quiet audio
Tiny power button
Not readable in direct sunlight

Poor app selection and quality

Abstract: If Android tablets and the iPad 2 had a boxing match over which device has the best screen display, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 would knock out the other Android tablets and leave the iPad 2 in black and blue. That is how we would creatively state what Dr...
