ASUS’ Eee Pad Transformer might still be difficult to track down, but at least all systems are go for the company’s other Honeycomb tablet, the Eee Pad Slider . The company confirmed today that the 10.1-inch tablet, originally slated for May, is “coming soon” — no word, of course, on whether it will ditch Tegra 2 for an Atom Z670 CPU, as rumored . Next up, ASUS, give us a price, capiche ? Last time we checked, the company was estimating it would cost between $500 and $800, so your guess is as good as ours as to how sweet a value this will be. Hopefully, we’ll get to see this elusive tab again at Computex next week, but in the meantime, hit the source links for some tightly cropped teaser shots of it running Honeycomb. ASUS Eee Pad Slider going on sale ‘soon,’ price is still anyone’s guess originally appeared on Engadget on Fri, 27 May 2011 21:12:00 EDT. Please see our terms for use of feeds . Permalink

As he noted, the minute she announces she’s not running, her value for speaking engagements or reality shows gets cut in half at least and there’s not a chance in hell she would hold up in a debate with the other candidates. O’Donnell also pointed out that Uncle Rupert over at Fox already cut loose any of their employees who were actually going to run like Gingrich and Santorum and it should be obvious to our beltway media that both Huckabee and Palin were never going to run since they’re both still employed by Fox. Sadly that isn’t going to keep our beltway Villagers from talking about her nonstop as though anyone should take her seriously. I don’t know about the rest of you but I for one will be really happy when Griftie-Half-Term-Governor-Quitter Palin’s way past fifteen minutes in the spotlight that she never deserved that McCain heaped upon our country along with Joe-not-a-plumber are finally over and we never have to hear from either of them again. Sadly even if she doesn’t run, and I agree with O’Donnell that she won’t, I don’t think Fox will allow that to happen any time soon. I’m glad at least to see the likes of O’Donnell call her out for what she is; a grifter that’s interested in lining her own pocket and who’s main concern is how to make Sarah Palin rich.
