Welcome [:D]
Depends when to buy since better tablets have been recently announced:
ASUS Transformer Pad Infinity has 1920 x 1200 resolution screen => http://www.androidcentral.com/video-hands-asus-transformer-pad-infinity-0
- Android Central has more Mobile World Congress coverage => http://www.androidcentral.com/mwc
Looking at ASUS web site, noted no price listed => http://eee.asus.com/eeepad/transformer-infinity/features/
Hands-on article also lacks price and availability =>http://androidcommunity.com/asus-transformer-pad-infinity-700-lte-hands-on-20120227/
Engadget has a hardware specification comparison of Apple's new iPad and elite Android tablels => http://www.engadget.com/2012/03/07/new-ipad-competition-specs/
Found one more comparison => http://www.trustedreviews.com/opinions/new-ipad-vs-asus-transformer-pad-infinity-700-specs-comparison
By the way, Apple dropped refurbished wifi iPad 2's with 16 GB to $ 349 (same warranty and packaging as new) => http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/specialdeals/ipad after dropping new iPad 2 price to $ 399, which is less than $ 499 for ASUS Transformer Prime.
Edit: Samsung offers a comparison of their Galaxy Note 10.1 vs new iPad => http://androidcommunity.com/samsung-strikes-back-compares-galaxy-note-10-1-vs-new-ipad-20120307/ that includes two Android apps side by side, which does not (yet) work for most Android apps => http://www.electronista.com/articles/12/03/07/samsung.struggles.to.make.note.101.vs.ipad.look/

btw, a small correction. the ipad2 price cut has dropped the comparable version (32gb) to equal price as the lowest capacity transformer prime (also 32gb). That is certainly a great price point for the ipad2, but it is still not cheaper than a transformer prime.
those HD screens do sound pretty nice...

Oops: [:$] bit of clarification: an Apple iPad 2 with 32 GB is no longer available for new purchase from the online Apple Store; however refurbished wifi iPad 2's with 32 GB are available for $ 449 => http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/specialdeals/ipad Apple refurbished devices have same warranty and packaging as new (outside of a box has a refurbished sticker).
New ASUS Transformer Prime is currently $ 499 (Amazon price has not changed).

Apple has an iPad feature page that shows effect of higher resolution for reading (sharper text) => http://www.apple.com/ipad/features/
From 2012 Mobile World Congress (MWC) keynote, am aware Google wants to increase Android tablet sales. Wonder if sales push is related to a Jan 2012 blog article => http://www.livedigitally.com/2012/01/26/did-manufacturers-lose-2-billion-on-android-tablets-last-quarter/ ?
Found another Android article with future models => http://www.androidauthority.com/best-hd-android-tablet-vs-ipad-3-59651/ that included 2nd quarter 2012 shipping estimates for Android tablets with HD screens. ASUS Transformer Pad Infinity price estimate was $ 600 to $ 800. Acer Iconia Tab 700 had estimate for June 2012 with starting price of $ 720. Huawei MediaPad 10 had unknown dates and prices. Huawei also showed off a quad core smart phone at 2012 MWC
Android Authority has a 7" tablet comparison => http://www.androidauthority.com/best-7-inch-android-tablets-2012-59543/ with Amazon Kindle Fire = "budget king tablet" plus noting Nook Tablet now has an 8 GB tablet for $ 199.
Noticed some rumors among tablet articles => http://www.androidauthority.com/android-tablets/ including a 10" Amazon Kindle Fire.

Anyone have the Motorola XYBOARD 10.1? This will be mainly used for LOGOS. Any input will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
