Asus emerging as an Android tablet winner, reports $124 million net earnings
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsASUS
In a clear sign that it pays to be innovative, Asus reported a 5% jump in net earnings for the April-June quarter, compared to Q1. The $124 million it took home contrast with Acer losing almost twice that amount, and calling sour grapes yesterday. Asus also reported almost 6% net profit margin, which is its best performance in nearly three years.
The neat performance Asus attributed to steady motherboard, and better than expected notebook and tablet sales. The Asus Eee Pad Transformer has been one of the most popular Android tablets in the first full quarter with most major companies having Google-ified slates on the market. The target of Asus was shipping 300 000 tablets for the whole quar...

Tegra 3 delayed: Will the Asus Transformer 2 miss its August launch?
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsASUS
Today, new evidence surfaced from Fudzilla confirming previous reports that the Asus Transformer 2 would sport a quad-core Tegra 3 processor. Also confirmed was that Tegra 3, codenamed Kal El, would make its debut on the second generation slate. Unfortunately it might be time to grab that Snickers bar because Kal El “has been slightly delayed for at least a month”.

ASUS' next gen Eee Pad Transformer to be first Kal-El device?
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsASUSEee Pad Transformer TF101
Earlier this year, NVIDIA teased us all with the promise of its forthcoming Kal-El SoC, indicating an August debut. Well, we're currently in the thick of that hot and hazy month with no clear sign of an incoming quad-core tablet, but certainly more release gossip. According to Fudzilla, multiple sources have confirmed ASUS' next Eee Pad Transformer will indeed be first in line to pack four cores, lending credence to Chairman Jonney Shih's claims the tab would be "impressive." Concrete launch details for the slate have yet to be announced, but if Shih's pre-CES timeline pans out, you'll only have four long months to wait for a Glow Ball hands-on.

ASUS Eee Pad Slider shows off its specs, may launch in September
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsASUSEee Pad Slider SL101
ASUS' Eee Pad Slider is fast becoming just as mythical as the flying horse the company's named after. We've had several encounters with potential release windows for the slate, only to see it continually creep back into fall. Well, judging by a recent report from Notebook Italia and the tab's new product page, it looks like we may actually see a September launch for the 10.1-incher -- in Italy. Contrary to prior rumors, the company will be offering the Slider in two storage configurations -- 16GB and 32GB at potential €479 and €599 price points overseas, while $400 and $550 models should hit the US.

ASUS may sell 2 million tablets this year
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsASUS
Taiwan-based PC and smartphone vendor Asustek is expected increase its tablet sales forecast for the full year to 2 million units. Taiwan Economic News reports that the increased estimates would follow strong Eee Pad Transformer demand, as well as Asustek general manager Kevin Lin’s recent comments that ASUS was the No. 2 tablet vendor in Taiwan last quarter. Despite some reports to the contrary, most agree that ASUS’s Eee Pad Transformer tablet has been a big hit for the vendor. The company’s first Honeycomb tablet sold out quickly at retail locations when it was released earlier this year, and high demand kept shipments up for several months. ASUS also recently unveiled its second converti...

ASUS Eee Pad Slider available in the Netherlands for 499 EUR
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsASUSEee Pad Slider SL101
Asus has somewhat strange strategy for its Eee Pad Slider tablet. The Honeycomb device with a side sliding QWERTY keyboard has been delayed in the UK for autumn, while in Poland it’s set to be released later this month. One more country is now included in the story – the Netherlands, where users can now grab the Slider. Seems to me Asus is using Holland as a test bed for its slightly weird product which weighs a whole lot more than most users are willing to accept. In that sense, I find Asus’ other device, Eee Pad Transformer, to be way more appealing, offering the keyboard as an optional accessory.
Anyway, interested users can buy the 32GB version of Asus’ Slider for 499 EUR (about $709), w...

Asus Eee Pad Slider slides past FCC
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsASUSEee Pad Slider SL101
The Asus Eee Pad Slider has become more of a mystery with every passing day as the 10.1-inch slate first appeared at CES and was expected to land in May, but its launch was delayed all the way until August in the UK. The Slider however has now passed one more obstacle on its way to mass market, this time clearing the FCC, where it appeared with model number SL101.
Earlier in the month, Asus seemed hesitant about releasing the tablet as it was “running a couple of surveys to understand what is important for our customers.” With heaps of Honeycomb tablets storming the market, that's no surprise, but the Asus Eee Pad Slider definitely has more than the common tablet as it stands out with its sl...

Asus tablet shipments rumored to soar by end of the year
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsASUS
It would be absolutely fine if you remain skeptical after reading this one as the rumor that we just came across comes straight from our favorite hit-or-miss source DigiTimes. So, according to sources supposedly familiar with the matter, Asus is planning on shipping as much as 4.5 million tablet devices during the second half of 2011 – more than twice as much as the company initially estimated to pump out over the course of the whole year.

Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsASUSEee Pad Transformer TF101
Yesterday, we reported that a tweet from ASUS said that Android 3.2 is being tested on the popular tablet and that the update should be out shortly. Unfortunately, it made the owners of the tablet excited when they received an OTA upgrade on Friday. No, the update that is on the device now is not going to give you Android 3.2.
