* A large screen - 10.1 inches diagonally (quite a few are now 10.1", but there are still a lot that range from 7" to a little over 9"(like the iPad2)).
* Comfortable to hold and carry. I have large hands, and I don't care about using an item that's a bit heavier than others; what I like is that the back is textured to keep from slipping from your hand but is not abrasive, and that the "border" around the screen is large enough to get my paws on the pad with a firm grip without covering the viewable screen.
* A built-in card port for extra memory. The iPad2 (which is what everything is compared against) does not have one, and you have to purchase an accessory to use a flash card. I *believe* that there is only one other tablet (at the time of this writing) that has a card port for extra memory (the Toshiba Thrive) and it can use a full-sized SD card, while the Transformer can only use a Micro-SD card. This is really only 1 of 2 "real" complaints that I have about the Transformer - I wish it could use a full sized SD card instead of the Micro-SD. (I already have several 32Gb SD Cards that I use for a digital camera and I could have used one (or more) of those instead of having to purchase another (or two) cards specifically for the Transformer.)
* The picture on it is gorgeous, it is quick, easy to use and sounds great.
I've played with the Toshiba Thrive at Best Buy, and in my opinion it is really the only tablet that can be compared with the Transformer; and there's a couple of things that it does that the Transformer doesn't: it can use the full-sized SD Card (mentioned above), it can use a USB cable (mini or full sized), and it has a full-sized HDMI port as opposed to a mini-HDMI (which I have a cable for my digital camera, so I don't have to worry about that).
Now at this point I'm sure you're wondering "Why didn't you go with the Toshiba Thrive instead?" Well, here's are the reasons:
1) It is $70 cheaper than the Toshiba Thrive (at least on Amazon.com; $80 on normal retail prices);
2) The Asus Keyboard/Docking Station for Eee Pad Transformer (TF101 DOCKING) (while more expensive than the Thrive's) includes all of the "missing" features as well as a keyboard and increased battery life (which the Toshiba Thrive Multi-Dock with HDMI for 10.1-Inch Tablet (PA3934U-1PRP) does not have). (And be honest, anyone purchasing a tablet is probably going to get a docking station too. Considering the price difference between the tablets and the docking stations, together they pretty much even out. The Transformer's docking station brings the total price up above the Thrive's...but then you get a keyboard with it.);
3) I understand that it was a floor model that I was "playing with," but I was not impressed by the Toshiba Thrive while I was checking it out in Best Buy. (Floor models have been "tested" and "played with" by many people...they're like rental cars - almost nobody treats them with respect.) But then, it may also have to do with reason #4;
4) This one is personal, so it is biased - I've never cared for Toshiba products.
So...knowing what I was also going to (eventually) purchase, I realized that the Transformer was the best tablet for me. And I'm glad I got it!
Now, earlier I had said that Micro-SD card (instead of a full sized SD card, which is available on the docking station) was one of the two "real" complaints that I had. The other "real" complaint is that the cable you get with the tablet to plug into a computer or an electrical outlet for charging (USB to electrical adapter is included with the tablet) is too short. It is *maybe* 3' long. It really should be at least 6' long. If you're going to plug it into an electrical outlet, 3' is just not long enough to be generally useful. (You're not always going to have access to a powerstrip or a wall outlet that makes charging and using your tablet comfortable.)
I have one minor complaint, which to me isn't "real"...but more of a suggestion: there is no "Get Started" guide or manual included with the tablet. Granted, it was partially charged when I got it and the setup for it is *very easy*; it just would have been nice to include a "Get Started" guide.
There was one surprise that I received with ASUS's Eee Pad (Transformer)! I don't know if something like this comes with all the other tablets, and if it doesn't this is a GREAT selling point for the Transformer: once setup and synced with your computer, the Transformer can take control of your desktop computer from over the Internet! So, if you're...say...at school (or work) and you need some important information that you forget to sync or copy over to your tablet, if you're computer is on you can double-tap the application to control your computer and get that info! (I've even played World of Warcraft via my Transformer through my computer.)
All-in-all, I am *extremely* happy with my purchase...and all my friends that I have shown it to are jealous and want one too! If you're looking at getting a tablet, I highly recommend this one! (Don't forget the Asus Keyboard/Docking Station for Eee Pad Transformer (TF101 DOCKING) !)

Update - 3 months later
I use this thing almost every single day! I take it nearly everywhere I go. I've synched my Outlook on my computer to my Google Calander, and since my phone is Android as well, whenever I enter anything on my tablet's calendar everything else is updated as well!
With the combination of SplashtopHD (the app that came with the Transformer that can let me take control of my home computer wherever I am at) and the Asus Synch (web storage) I can not only access whatever I need to wherever I am at, I can copy it to my tablet for local access and editing/handling.
I take it shopping with me to either scan items or keep my shopping list. (Remember, the Transformer is WiFi only - no cell access. But my phone can act as a hotspot when I want it to, so I always have online access.)
I like this tablet so much, I just bought one as a Christmas present for someone.
The performance is 5 stars, but I am only giving it 4 stars as the full functionality isn't available without a few missing accessories (ASUS has a new case, mini HMDI, DAC VGA module, docking port USB cable coming... sometime in the future), and the failed supply/availability. If you don't want the extra battery life, and weight that goes with it, I recommend a bluetooth keyboard (there's a small folding qwerty keyboard here on Amazon for a reasonable price).
A word of caution - this table sells for $399 when sold by an authorized ASUS reseller, which is just about any major retailer. Do not support the vultures trying to capitalize on the shortage, as they are no better than gray marketers. They have purchased thier inventory from a major retailer only to resell them here on Amazon (or eBay) and reap large profits for doing nothing more than depleting and monopolizing the limited availability of the ASUS Transformer. More are on the way from ASUS, and they will sell for $399. I am going to buy another one, as my daughter wants to replace her netbook, but I will wait until the "real" $399 shipment comes in and not contribute to vulture piracy. Amazon should not support this type of 'dark market resale' and neither should we - don't feed the animals!
Update: ~2 weeks after my 2nd Transformer purchase.
I've been using the Bluetooth keyboard with the Transformer for a while now, and am quite pleased with the performance. I am also using an HDMI to mini-HDMI adapter with HP's HDMI-VGA adapter for display on monitors/projectors with VGA and no HDMI, and it works very well. I have been using the cheap Arkon tablet holder (while I wait for my leather portfolio made for the Transformer), and it works very well. Another benefit I have found with my current setup is that I can place the transformer next to the projector, with access to power and video hookup, and sit 10-15 feet away with my mini-bluetooth keyboard and control everything - obviates the whole issue of cord length and associated inconvenience.
The entire suite I bring with me on business travel takes 1/2 the room of my laptop, and less than 1/3 the weight. It is also much less hassle to setup, whether on a plane or in a conference room, and I appreciate the flexibility I have in choosing what options I will use. I see new or adapted Honeycomb apps every day, and have been very please overall with how well everything is functioning. The screen and system continues to be responsive, plenty of memory with no slowdown even after adding and changing dozens of apps. Still waiting for the ASUS docking port USB adapter to be released, but with a 32GB SD and WiFi, it's not a critical shortcoming.
