Not a great deal of information is known about Asus’ entry into the Android tablet arena (the above is an image of their similar Windows tablet), but that doesn’t mean we can’t know the pricing and release date. What we are looking at is a $400 price tag accompanying a release in March 2011. Yes, you read that right. March. Either this tablet has a long way to go and will feature specs competitive to whatever the generation of devices being released at that point next year, or it will end up being another among the many Android tablets featuring an outdated OS version and sub-par hardware. Since no technical info has emerged we’ll hope for the former.

Too bad. I had high hopes for this one.
This is a ridiculous long waiting time.. what’s wrong with you Asus? I want to buy NOW! Don’t you want my money!!
Pine Trail is why.
I don’t know what I’m missing but why is it so hard to port android. If there is something, then god google make it easier.
I don’t understand the point of announcing pricing for something that won’t be available for 6 months or more…it makes zero sense in the world of high tech where prices fall like a rock and specs keep getting better every 2-3 months.
Agreed, Fred. There’s no way to predict that far in advance these days.
I wonder if it would have that amazing Asus 360 warranty
Hopefully the delay will mean Android 3.0
Delayed for 3.0, dual core processors, LTE/WiMax connectivity is my guess.
I’m just hoping it’s not gonna be some Asus UI since everyone seems to want their own Sense, MotoBlur, or TouchWiz
