It's only been a few weeks since ASUS went official with it's Tegra 3-packing Eee Pad Transformer Prime tablet. We knew the keyboard-dockable hybrid would available sometime this December, but now the Android 3.2-running slate (later upgradeable to Ice Cream Sandwich) has just popped up for pre-order at various North American retailers. If you'll recall, its loaded with a 1.3Ghz quad-core processor, 1GB of RAM, an 8 megapixel rear camera and a 1.2 megapixel front facer, not to mention as other goodies like micro HDMI port and SD card reader. Folks in the US can place their funds down for the 10.1-incher with Amazon, B&H Photo, Tiger Direct and best buy, while those up in Canada can currently look to Future Shop for the privilege. You'll have a choice of either metallic-purple or champagne with 32 or 64GB of storage, priced at $500 and $600, respectfully.
