by the
Transformer Pad Infinity (1.6 - GHz quad core Nvidia Tegra 3 T33 processor and 1 GB of RAM).
The first device to be powered
by Tegra 3 is the Asus Eee
Pad Transformer Prime, though Nvidia's intention remains to spread this quad - core chip out to as many manufacturers as possible, in both tablets and smartphones.

by the more logical Tegra 3 branding and the first host device has now been announced as Asus» Eee
Pad Transformer Prime.

I was pleasantly surprised
by ASUS» Eee
Pad Transformer.
There isn't much going on with the tab when put up against competitors such as the Motorola XOOM, the Eee
Pad Transformer, and the Iconia Tab, but the hardware is unmatched
by any tablet manufacturer regardless of what operating system they use, and the software hasn't been mucked with that much.
The Eee
Pad Slider is quite similar to its other brethren — the
Transformer in that the Slider too runs Android Honeycomb and is powered
by the 1 GHz NVIDIA Tegra 2 processor.

by the addition of a sturdy keyboard.
The Asus Eee

It looks like Asus is committed to bringing Android 4.0 to its Eee
Pad Transformer, judging
by the tweet pictured below.
The Eee
Pad Transformer Prime TF201 achieves an even bigger first, as it is the first tablet powered
by Nvidia's quad - core Tegra 3 CPU.
On the Native AndEBench test, the Asus
Transformer Pad Infinity TF700 soared to the top, followed
by the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1, Fujitsu Stylistic M532, Sony Xperia Tablet S, and Acer Iconia Tab A700.
The Eee

by the original Eee

by lighter competitors such as the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 and ASUS Eee
Pad Transformer.

ASUS expanded its
Transformer line - up today
by announcing the
Transformer Pad Infinity and the unique new
Transformer Pad Trio.

Transformer Pad as a replacement for the original Nvidia Tegra 2 - based TF101
Transformer and as a more budget - conscious alternative to the Prime.
However, the Asus Eee
Pad Transformer, while only providing 16 GB of onboard storage (though it can be bolstered
by the addition of both SD and microSD cards) and lacks 3G, comes with a keyboard attachment that ups the battery life to double that of nearly all other tablets and can be bought for just # 430.
Nevertheless, it's hard not to be impressed
by this little marvel in person, especially if you're already a fan of the Asus
Transformer Pad range.
We already know the Xoom 2 (10.1 - inch display) measures 10
by 6.85
by 0.35 inches; those dimensions,

Pad Transformer Prime, and Apple iPad 2 are thinner).
Plus, a fresh batch of Android smartphones (led
by the Samsung Galaxy Nexus) and a new generation of tablets (including the Asus Eee
Pad Transformer 2) are designed specifically for Android 4.0, also known as Ice Cream Sandwich.
The Eee
Pad Transformer solves this issue
by offering the full keyboard attachment, which also almost doubles the battery life of the slim tablet to up to 16 hours.

by no means a no - go, but they need to do something more dynamic than the Xoom 2 at this point — the Asus Eee
Pad Transformer Prime being a good example of the pricey Android done right.
Coming in at a very distant second place was Samsung's Galaxy Tab, which captured only 1.7 percent of tablet Web traffic, followed

Transformer Pad.
