Asus' Transformer Prime isn't even out in Autralia yet and it's already been superseded by a newer, more high-end model that comes fully loaded with a full 1080p HD display.
While speculation pointed to a CES unveiling of a 7in version of the Transformer Prime – dubbed the Transformer Mini – Asus has been showing off a brand new high-def version of its Tegra 3, quad-core toting hybrid tab, complete with a 10.1in WUXGA full HD 1920 x 1080 screen.
Rather than come complete with a brand new set of specs, the TF700T – as it is officially known - is identical to the current Transformer Prime in the specs department. Although it will ship with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich when it's out some time in April overseas. We'll bring you news on local availability when we receive it.
It's designed for those who want a much crisper viewing experience and want to consume full HD content on the move.
A noticeable cosmetic change to the back panel apparently means enhanced performance for WiFi, Bluetooth and GPS.
And what about a 7in version? It turns out Asus never planned to launch a dinky version of its powerful netbook killer. Speculation started when Asus' database was hacked and images of the MemMo 370T – a 7in Android tab that won't be launching in the UK – were found. All it took was a shrunken image of the 10in keyboard dock and thus, a rumour was born, spreading across the web like wildfire.
