It certainly looks like an interesting piece of hardware, the best thing
being that the bootloader is unlocked. But from what I see the
Transformer is better both spec-wise and price-wise. You can get the
TF101 on Amazon for around $340 (new, 16GB version, without the dock).
So the only thing making this product interesting is the openness -
which is nice.

I would also have some doubts about the outer case and construction. At
least it looks a bit second-class at the pictures. But that might just
be the first-sight impression.
Still, probably a nice choice for hacking.

Best regards,
