ASUS Eee Pad Transformer passes in the course of the FCC

Well, it hasn’t reached Eee PC levels of bewilderment just yet, however it feels like ASUS’s Eee Pad line is definitely on its method to filling store shelves with numerous different models. A kind of has now hit the FCC under the guise of the Eee Pad TF101, even though it’s also called the EP101 in a few of the documents. Assuming nothing has changed with ASUS’ naming scheme (always an opportunity), that might peg it because the Transformer — a tablet / keyboard dock combo that we first got our hands on back at CES (and later at CeBIT ). Unfortunately, ASUS wasn’t ready to give us a release date then, and that also hasn’t changed, although the FCC certification does certainly suggest that it can be coming sooner instead of later.
