n a bid to face the new market challenges posed by Apple’s new iPad2, Asus has launched a sleek tablet powered by Android 3.0 Honeycomb OS. Pet named EEE Pad Transformer, this 10.1 inch tablet is notable for the optional keyboard bundled with it.
The keyboard is lighter and usable than other keyboard docking options due to its flexibility and light weight. When detached from the keyboard, the tab simply acts as a 10-1 inch screen with touch sensitive screen for flexible use.

The EEE Pad Transformer gives a range of options like ten finger touch, Flash supported video viewing and e-booking reading functionality. The keyboard comes with all standard connectivity options like USB ports and HDMI out port.
Further, if you suddenly find your tab running out of power, the keypad can also work as a power source. You can just plug it in and continue enjoying the EEE Pad Transformer experience.
