The new Pads, displayed at CES 2011, is the latest bid by Asus to gain some of the tablet market share gobbled up by the phenomenally popular Apple iPad, although precise details on the portable devices are still somewhat sketchy. The tablet release is now to be held off until some time in the third quarter of 2011 and it is now likely to run on Android’s 2.3 Gingerbread system instead, according to John Swatton, from Asus’ Marketing division. The new trio, the Eee Pad MeMO, Transformer and the Slider earmarked for an Android 3.0 operating system, were first announced at the Computex show which was held in Taipei last June. The Taiwanese giant’s new generation of Eee Pad’s powered by Honeycomb, or Android 3.0, is now delayed as they get their head around its precise details, which they excitedly debuted to CES audiences just two weeks ago in Las Vegas. Despite promises of a June release for the Asus Eee Pad range, powered by Honeycomb, the notebook makers have now revised the date, citing the CES announcement as a ‘mistake.’
