Amidst heated competition in both pricing and specs from Amazon’s announcement of its dual-core $200 Kindle Fire touchscreen tablet that runs a heavily skinned version of the Android operating system, Asus, which had gained fame for the success of its Transformer tablet, remains committed to the Transformer 2. The Transformer successor will up the ante with beefier specs, rumored to be a quad-core processor, presumably from NVIDIA codenamed Kal-el.
According to the Transformer-maker, the company has no plans to slash the price of the current dual-core NVIDIA Tegra 2 Transformer 1 model, which starts at a $400 MSRP though you may find discounts at select retailers. The Transformer 2, with better and improved processing power, will cost extra and that model will start at $500. The Transformer 2 is said to be launching on schedule.
