ASUS TO LAUNCH EEE PAD SLIDER TABLET SOMETIME SOON

Asus has announced that it will launch the Eee Pad Slider tablet sometime soon. The Asus Eee Pad Slider is an Android tablet with a pull-out keyboard. It was introduced at CES.

Asus has posted a few teaser photos of the Eee Pad Slider on TechInStyle.tv. The mockups show the tablet as running Android 3.0 / 3.1 operating system. The models that were on display at CES were running Android 2.2 Froyo.

The Eee Pad Slider is expected to have a 1GHz NVIDIA Tegra 2 processor and a 10.1 inch capacitive touchscreen display with a resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels. The Eee Pad Slider is a lot like the Eee Pad Transformer. But while the Slider has a slide-out keyboard the Transformer has a detachable keyboard. The Slider comes standard with the keyboard but the Transformer can be bought with or without the keyboard.

The Eee Pad Transformer is currently available for $400 without the keyboard. There is still no word on the pricing of Eee Pad Slider.
