After months of anticipation, we may finally see the launch of the ASUS Eee Pad Transformer 2, packed with that drool-worthy NVIDIA Kal-El quad-core processor we’ve been dreaming about. The online retailer, LambdaTek Component Shop, shows the Transformer 2 (listed as model number TF201-1I020A) as in-stock on November 7th, which would make good on ASUS CEO Jerry Shen’s comments last week that the device would indeed launch by the end of the year. Interestingly enough, the price is set at £537.85 (tax included) or about $739.77 USD, which is an increase of more than 45% from Shen’s remarks regarding its projected retail cost.

Let’s check out those specs:

Runs Android 3.2 Honeycomb
NVIDIA Tegra 3 quad-core processor
10.1-inch display
32GB of storage
1GB of RAM

I doubt it will be that steeply priced. The reason they sold so many of the 1st Transformer (and reason I bought mine) was because of the reasonable starting price.

Rumors are that this one will start at $499.

Would love to have this, but cant justify that much money right now. Cant wait to check out the power of the quad core Tegra though.
