ASUS: Transformer Shipments Will Beat Competitors’ This Month
The folks at ASUS promised they’d be ramping production up this month forward, but they are now so confident that they can meet demand that they’re professing they’ll beat all of their competitors in tablets shipped… except Apple. It’s no surprise, really. The Motorola XOOM is overpriced and they can’t seem to sell as many shipments as they need to, Samsung has just gotten the ball rolling with their 10.1 (though they do still have 7 inch devices out there), and everyone else just doesn’t have the mindshare or compelling devices. We just look forward to seeing this thing available in more places. Makes us proud, ASUS. [BGR]
In related news, they are looking to launch the Slider in the UK in August, though other regions were promised June. We’re not sure what’s up there, but that’s a long time to wait when competitors will surely be bringing leaner and meaner devices to market shortly after that. [Unwired View]
