Threat to iPad?

Taken from:

The article notes:
IDG News Service - Asus' highly anticipated Transformer Pad Infinity TF700T tablet, a challenger to Apple's new iPad, will become available in late June or early July, a company spokeswoman said on Wednesday.
The tablet has a 10.1-inch display that shows images at 1920-by-1200 pixels, which is among the highest resolution screens offered on Android tablets today. The tablet will come with the Android 4.0 OS and optional 3G/4G mobile broadband connectivity.
With its powerful processor and high-resolution screen, the Infinity Pad is being pitched as a multimedia powerhouse. The tablet will come with a quad-core Nvidia Tegra 3 chip for models focused on gaming and multimedia or a dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 chip for models with 3G/4G LTE connectivity
It has a bigger display, a quad-core processor - focused on gaming and multimedia.

So, is it a threat to the Apple iPad?  Probably not.  Apple's marketing, Apple's brand name, the iTune / Apps Store are so established, that the word "iPad" is getting to be the generic for "Tablet".  The technologies can be superior, but buying an "Asus" is going to be hard in today's consumer world against buying an "Apple"!!!
