ASUS Eee Pad Slider Shows Off Its Specs, May Launch in September

ASUS' Eee Pad Slider is fast becoming just as mythical as the flying horse the company's named after. 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 ($400) and €599 ($550) price points, respectively. 

It should ship with Android 3.1 installed, with a promised 3.2 upgrade to follow. The QWERTYfied tablet packs a 1280 x 800 WXGA display, dual-core 1GHz NVIDIA Tegra 2 processor, 1GB of memory, 1.2 megapixel front-facing camera, 5 megapixel rear-facing camera, USB 2.0, mini-HDMI, microSD card reader, WiFi and Bluetooth.

€479 = $682,5034
this is what €479 are worth.

BTW, IMHO they should use a dual-core and more (or faster) RAM to be "newer" than other brands.

Looks cool, I can see these kinds of devices replacing laptops in a few years for the average consumer.

Hopefully they put effort into the sliding part, I could see that being the first thing to break.

Will this be a new design pattern for future laptops/netbooks?

Meh. Good if you're really intent on saving space, but I'm not a fan of Android on a computer...
