Android 3.0 powered tablets from Asus
Asus has 3 different Android tablets on the table as a fresh start. But unfortunately they are not ready to be sold yet.
Asus Eee Pad Slider price is around $400-$800 but release date is scheduled to be in June 2011. Having said that, this Android 2.0 tablet is runiing like its name: Slider. Keyboard of Eee Pad Slider slides and makes this device excatly same as a netbook. Yes keyboard may add a little bit extra thickness but using the keyboard would be awesome for typing wizards. Eee Pad Slider has a 10.1” IPS touch panel and powered by Nvidia Tegra 2 Dual Core cpu together with a GeForce GPU. Sounds really nice.
