Asus introduced the Eee Pad Slider at CES in January, but the company’s been quite about the Android tablet with a slide-out keyboard ever since. Now Asus is promising that the Slider will launch soon.
The company has posted a few photos of the tablet on net, but there are no big surprises. While the company says the tablet has gone through additional testing since January, the only major change I can see is that the mockups show Android 3.x Honeycomb rather than Android 2.2 Froyo.
The tablet is expected to have a 1 GHz NVIDIA Tegra 2 processor and a 10.1 inch, 1280 x 800 pixel display. There’s no word on pricing yet.In a nutshell, the Slider is a lot like the Asus Eee Pad Transformer, except that instead of offering an optional keyboard docking station, the Slider come with a standard keyboard since it tucks away behind the screen.
