Why do I feel like the guy didn't even use the thing? Oh right, because I've tested Flash in browser on every Android tablet I could get my hands on and it was extremely unimpressive, every time.
I have nothing against Asus, I loved my EEE PC and the only reason I don't have it anymore is because it was the perfect computer for my younger cousin. I also think the Transformer is one of the more interesting entrants into the Android tablet market. However, this article reads like an ad. Laments about bullet point features, totally skips real world use (the flash example being the best one).
If he had used it extensively, he never would have said "the stock browser is better because it supports Flash" he would have said "the stock browser is better because I can do x, thanks to the Flash-supporting browser".

Why do I have to "wrap my head around the possibilities"? Why don't you just tell me some of the amazing and awesome things you did with widgets while you were reviewing the thing? It could be because widgets aren't actually that amazing in practice, and are really just little applets that run all the time. Is it really a deal breaker to have to tap on the Tweetbot icon to view tweets instead of swiping to the side to look at my Twitter widget? I don't think so.
