Asus' new Android Transformer tablet going quad-core

Asus already has a similar product on the market, EeePad Transformer, with dual-core processor and Nvidia Tegra 2 features a signature, detachable keyboard, you can look more like a tablet laptop. It is not clear whether the keyboard module will work for Transformer EeePad with new models.


Apparently, the new transformer will come with Ice Cream Sandwich, version 4.0 of Google's Android operating system for mobile devices. Android 3.x, aka Honeycomb is a temporary measure intended to help Android tablet coming to market as quickly as possible, but Ice Cream Sandwich is a finished product and no longer in sync with the version of the OS that runs on Android phones. Shih said the Ice Cream Sandwich, the tablet could "probably sooner" than the end of the year.

Asus has set high expectations for the family tablets, predicted earlier this year that Asus will be no other manufacturer except Apple Tablet outship.

Asus also offers the tantalizing video yesterday Prime Transformer. It shows the closeup of the keyboard, including a USB port, and a combination of screen and the tablet to break away from it.

Nvidia has the best Android tablet strength today, and it seems likely that the new quad-core chips Nvidia will be the main selling point of Android tablet makers to compete with established iPad from Apple aspire to.
