Shortage of ASUS Eee Pad Transformer will not be eased until next month
Share:
The 300,000 Eee Pad Transformer units sold would give ASUS a victory over the heavily advertised Motorola XOOM. The latter sold only 250,000 tablets during the Winter as we reported, which means depending on how it did in the Spring, the ASUS tablet could be the best selling Honeycomb flavored device in the marketplace.
At $400, the 16GB ASUS Eee Pad Transformer is priced $200 less than the Motorola XOOM's 32GB Wi-Fi only version and $100 under the price of the 16GB Apple iPad2 which explains some of the reason why demand for the device has been outstripping supply.

They need to make sure they have ample keyboard / battery docks. That's why I sold my Xoom and still can't get my hands on this one...yet.

I am laughing as I read this article and see the Xoom ad on the side that states "It is everything a tablet should be", except for affordable! Go ASUS.

why would u want a 3g version? It would be more expencive and then u get a contracted plan with it too. give me wifi, let me use my lovely android to get some free 4g wifi tethering, and i got all i need.

get an Android phone and tether it! i have a rooted Evo and tethered 4G to the Xoom and tried the navigation, daym navi on a 10" is so cool!
only problem was...how the hell do you mount a 10" tablet to the dash? lol
