The Asus Eee Pad Slider was a cool Android tablet/netbook announced at CES 2011, along with the Transformer, but unlike its super-popular relative it’s nowhere to be seen just yet. However the latest bit of online rumor suggests that it might become available before the end of September for the tempting €479.
For that kind of cash you are getting a 10.1 IPS display of WXGA resolution (1280×800 pixels), covered under a layer of Gorilla Glass, an Nvidia Tegra 2 chipset, featuring a couple of 1GHz CPU cores, and a QWERTY keyboard for all that typing to be done on.
There’s also 16GB of onboard storage and one year unlimited web storage provided by Asus as well as a couple of cameras (5MP at the back and 1.3MP at the front) to sweeten the deal. The Asus Eee Pad Slider will also have a version with 32 GB of local storage, but that takes the price to €599, which doesn’t seem as such a good bargain.
If you like the idea of Honeycomb netbook that weighs just under a kilo – the Eee Pad Slider will come to Italy next month. There’s no saying what other countries will join in the first wave.
