ASUS Eee Pad Transformer Android tablet pricing and availability
Earlier this year (2011) ASUS announced a slew of tablet devices, with the much anticipated ASUS Eee Pad Transformer set to launch in South Africa in April.
Some ASUS tablets, such as the Transformer, run Google’s new tablet-optimised version of Android, called Honeycomb, while their Eee Slate EP121 will come with Windows 7.
The ASUS Eee Pad Transformer is so named because it can “transform” from a tablet to a netbook through a dock which sports a keyboard and trackpad.
ASUS SA has confirmed that the Transformer is on sale in South Africa, with the 16GB model carrying a recommended retail price of R4,299.
The recommended price of the dock is R1,499.

The Transformer also has a model with 32GB of storage which should become available at retail during this week. It has a RRP of R5,199.
Retailers such as Look & Listen will stock both the 16GB and 32GB models of the device, ASUS said.
