Earlier this year (2011) ASUS announced a slew of tablet devices<\/a>, with the much anticipated ASUS Eee Pad Transformer set to launch in South Africa in April.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

The ASUS Eee Pad Transformer is so named because it can \u201ctransform\u201d from a tablet to a netbook through a dock which sports a keyboard and trackpad.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

The recommended price of the dock is R1,499.<\/p>\n

Retailers such as Look & Listen will stock both the 16GB and 32GB models of the device, ASUS said.<\/p>\n
