New Asus TF300T tablet gets leaked

Wednesday, February 8, 2012



Apparently Asus feels like there's room for another tablet in its lineup. That's because a new, previously unseen and unheard of Asus tablet (presumably running Android) has showed up on the Internet. Its model number is TF300T, the pictures below show you what it looks like, and that's really all we know about it. So let's speculate based on that model number. The Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime has the model number TF201, and the recently unveiled revamped edition of that tablet (with fixes for connectivity issues through a redesigned back plate and with a higher-res screen) has the model number TF700T. Now this newly leaked gadget obviously stands somewhere in between those two, at least in Asus' vision. Then again, the company's model numbers don't make much sense. The TF700T is basically just a minor revision of the TF201, so why the huge jump in number there? TF202, or even TF201T (since the original lacks that final “T” anyway) would have made a lot more sense. So the TF300T could be anything. It could be a lower-end companion to the two Primes, which is something that makes sense from a business perspective. Or it may be something else entirely. Sadly, the only thing we can do is wait and see.
