Asus Eee Pad Slider appears on Amazon's German site

CES brought some amazing new products. But Asus was the dark horse of the event with their Eee Pad Transformer and Eee Pad Slider tablets. The Eee Pad Slider was initially 'slated' (get it?) for a May launch, so we were starting to have our doubts. But Amazon Germany has posted the tablet to their site, along with an email notification option.

The specs appear unchanged from the original announcement, including an NVIDIA Tegra 2 processor rated at 1.2GHz, 1GB of RAM, 32GB of storage, and Android 3.0 Honeycomb.

We reported yesterday on an unnamed 7-inch Dell prototype with a slideout QWERTY keyboard. But we think the Asus design is far superior. Granted, the Dell model is a 7-inch, and the Eee Pad Slider is a 10-inch, but we love the tilting screen. We think this kind of notebook/tablet convergence is the next logical step, as the touchscreen-only format limits your productivity potential.
