ASUS’ next gen Eee Pad Transformer to be first Kal-El device?
Earlier this year, NVIDIA teased us all with the promise of its forthcoming Kal-El SoC, indicating an August debut. Well, we’re currently in the thick of that hot and hazy month with no clear sign of an incoming quad-core tablet, but certainly more release gossip. According to Fudzilla, multiple sources have confirmed ASUS’ next Eee Pad Transformer will indeed be first in line to pack four cores, lending credence to Chairman Jonney Shih’s claims the tab would be “impressive.” Concrete launch details for the slate have yet to be announced, but if Shih’s pre-CES timeline pans out, you’ll only have four long months to wait for a Glow Ball hands-on.

Yesterday we gave you the lowdown on Fusion Garage’s second foray into tablet computing, the Grid 10.

Are aliens trying to show us something on the surface of Titan? [Space Porn]

ASUS Eee Pad Transformer resists Canadian coins, does not survive slings and arrows (video)
ASUS hasn’t really had to twist consumers’ wallet-carrying wrists to get its Eee Pad Transformer off retailers’ shelves and into homes — the tablet practically walks itself. Which makes the company’s latest attempt at viral marketing come off as more of an exercise in unnecessary bragging, than a straight, feature-touting webmercial. The video, made for the hardware maker’s college-focused Campus Life website, walks viewers through a brief description of the Gorilla Glass coating that gives the Honeycomb-based tab its damage-resistant properties, before putting the slate through a series of stress tests. While we’ve always been told sticks and stones would break our bones, apparently keys, Canadian change and screws won’t harm the Transformer. The sole chink in this popular pad’s ion exchanging armor? Archery, of course.ASUS Eee Pad Transformer resists Canadian coins, does not survive slings and arrows (video) originally appeared on Engadget on Tue, 16 Aug 2011 15:10:00 EDT.
