The Eee Pad Transformer can be wowing tablet lovers with its unbeatable price-to-features ratio today, but ASUS looks to have its sights set on even mightier devices for the long run. DigTimes reports that the Taiwanese company is difficult at work on a Tegra 3 tablet — built round the spectacular Kal-El quad-core SOC that we saw demonstrated at MWC 2011 — in addition to another one running an Intel CPU. So far as the Intel slate is bothered, we’re probably observing the tablet-centric 1.5GHz Atom Z670 , which promises 1080p playback and great battery life. You’ll forgive us if we reserve our excitement for the Tegra 3-powered tablet, however, which needs to be capable of churn through a lot of more pixels than regular old 1080p. There’s no indication on when ASUS intends to deliver it, but NVIDIA’s roadmap for devices with the quad-core chip expects to start out appearing in August. Video of that awe-inspiring MWC demo follows after the break.
