14 DAY TRIAL // There will soon be a new ASUS tablet in town, one that will boast NVIDIA's latest ARM-based Tegra mobile platform.
ASUS has a certain tablet known as TF300T in the works, one whose existence has been revealed for weeks, but whose specs have been kept under wraps thus far.
Fortunately, even if ASUS probably did not intend for info on it to leak out just yet, a report emerged anyway.
Polish blog TabletOWO was able to somehow acquire the official comparison sheet of all tablets from the Transformer series.
Needless to say, the TF300T was included in that table, hence the exposure of the essential components and software.
The tablet runs Google's Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system, something that was easy enough to guess even without leaks.
Meanwhile, the screen size is of 10.1 inches (the panel is an IPS LCD).
Furthermore, in order to enable the highest processing and video performance, ASUS chose NVIDIA's Tegra 3 SoC, otherwise known as Kal-El.
As for the rest, users will find 1GB of RAM (random access memory) and an 8-megapixel rear camera, plus a 1.2-megapixel camera on the front.
Finally, there are 16GB of built-in flash memory, but ASUS will probably provide a 32GB version as well. Either way, an SD card slot will make it easy to expand that capacity.
The company may or may not make the official introduction of this consumer electronics device at the upcoming Mobile World Congress (MWC 2012).
We should still say, though, that the sheet could be fake or wrong on some points: the TF700T, a different Transformer, is listed with Qualcomm's 1.5 GHz APQ8060A Snapdragon instead of the Tegra 3 mentioned at CES. ASUS may have chosen to swap SoCs, but there are no guarantees.
For those unaware, MWC 2012 will be held in Barcelona, Spain, between February 27 and March 1.
