For Best Buy, poking fun at the iPad in favor of a competing product probably wasn't the brightest idea.

Without explanation, the retailer removed an image from its promotional page for the Asus Eee Pad Transformer, which showed an iPad-like product and a keyboard duct taped together. "Like That," said the text above the iPad-keyboard concoction. "But Better."

I wasn't aware of this ASUS product, seems interesting.

I'm not sure that adding a keyboard to a tablet is really all that helpful.

If you want a laptop, there are great products out there. The problem with tablets is that the concessions they make to be great tablets make them horrible laptops. For example, the A5 chip. While it's a fast tablet chip, it's still substantially slower than the dual-core Atom chips that are maligned for being "too slow for anything but light internet use".

I don't think this will be a winning product strategy for Asus.

If SD(or any removable media) is so important then why doesn't Honeycomb support it at launch?

Because it is still early days for Android 3.0. The revised user interface and actually functioning took priority.
