Asus will debut its Eee Pad Transformer 10.1-inch tablet in Taiwan on March 25 and in the US in early April. It runs the tablet–oriented Honeycomb version of the Android OS. The specs are similar to other such tablets — Nvidia’s Tegra 2 processor, 1 GB DDR2 and 16 or 32 MBs of memory.
It’ll compete against Motorola’s Xoom tablet and two new Samsung tablets, all of which run Honeycomb, in addition to the iPad of course.
Asus Transformer Tablet
Has a Detachable Keyboard
What makes it different is that it comes with a detachable keyboard/battery/docking station even though Honeycomb was developed for a touchscreen.
It has front (1.2MP) and rear (5MP) digital cameras and a built-in mini-HDMI port to connect to external displays for showing full 1080p HD video.
The tablet has eight hours of battery life and the keyboard adds another eight hours.
Prices are estimated to be $400 and $700.
