The ASUS Eee Pad Transformer TF101 is a Android 3.0 Honeycomb tablet with optional keyboard docking station, making it a sort of tablet/netbook hybrid.

'ASUS delivered three things with the Eee Pad: a very competitive price point ($399), a surprisingly useful (albeit pricey) dock, and a good display. The price point alone is enough to make the Eee Pad the Honeycomb tablet to get assuming you don't need integrated 3G or LTE connectivity. The Eee Pad is comfortable to hold and use and despite the lower price point you don't feel like ASUS has sacrificed much at all to make it. The display has similar characteristics to what Apple ships in the iPad 2. Overall from a hardware standpoint, the Eee Pad is solid.' [Anandtech - Eee Pad Transformer Review]
I personally like the idea of having a tablet device 'dock-ready'. And the beauty of this modular approach is that the consumer has a choice - to transform his/her tablet into a netbook or not.
