I saw a review of the Transformer Prime on All About Android, and they
also reported that the touchpad didn't work great. (They made a comment
like, the touchpads never work great on these keyboard docs. Whether
that was referring to prior ASUS models, or all keyboard docs in
general, I don't know.)

The screenshots, however, showed a typical PC-style arrow pointer on the
screen when the touchpad was in use.
