I’ve been using the Chrome browser on my Linux systems for some time now and I’m a big fan! I did encounter a few rough spots here and there as I was learning some on the ins and outs, but now, it’s my primary browser of choice.

So, I was happy to discover that the folks at Google developed the Chrome browser for the Android OS. They’ve recently released Beta version that is compatible with Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich).

Well, I immediately downloaded and installed on my Asus Transformer Prime Tablet.

Wow! it is, by far, the best browser out there for mobile devices and tablets! Yes, it’s still in beta and they need to add some support here and there. For instance, from what I can see, Flash is not fully enabled. You can use youtube, but flash videos on other sites aren’t yet visible. I expect that flash support to be coming soon with future updates.

The really neat feature is how Chrome for Android syncs up with your Chrome desktop. When Chrome is running on your desktop, and you have any number of tabs open, booting your tablet or phone into Chrome Android will pick up all those open browser tabs. THAT is slick! So, you can continue on your mobile device where you left off on your desktop.

If you’re running Android 4.0, give Chrome for Android a try. Like me, you’ll end up using it as your primary browser for all your devices.

As many readers of this blog know, I have the new Asus Transformer Prime Tablet. And, I’ve touted how great it is.

Well, the above video gives a good side by side comparison of the Transformer Prime and how it stacks up against the Apple iPad2.

Rumor has it that Apple is rushing out the iPad3 (with a quad core processor. )

It’s Groundhog day!  Let’s all hiope for an early spring.  Not that winter has been that brutal.  In myneck of the woods, it’s been, luckily, fairly mild (Ssshhhh!  No so loud!)

I did get the opportunity to grab my Asus Transformer Prime tablet and shoot some 1080HD video of an early Saturday morning snowfall.

This footage is right outside my studio. I stood beneath the overhang and shot a little bit of the scenery as the snow fell.  Make sure to toggle on 1080 to see how wonderfully crisp this video is.  You can see individual snowflakes!  

The ASUS Transformer Prime Tablet. is a fantastic tablet computer! It’s become a working part of my studio for sure.

As many of you know, thsi past Christmasd I received a terrific gift form the nephews.  the Asus Transformer Prime Tablet. Well, I purchased the keyboard.  thsi allows you to plug the tablet in and turn the entire set-up into a very fast and powerful netbook.  Plus, it gives you up to 18 hours of battery time.  Wow!

The fit and finish is top notch.  the tablet smoohly and snugly glides right into the keyboard.   It’s brilliant!

The Asus Transfomrer Prime has become my number one mobile computing device.  When I’m on the road, I can use the tablet to surf the internet, check email, and keep up on breaking news.

Plug the tablet into the keyboard, and now I can update my blog and  type out longer, give in-depth answers to email.  Plus, I still have touchscreen access of the tablet while plugged in.

If you’re looking for a tablet, this is the one to get.   The ASUS Transformer Prime Tablet with keyboard.
