Asus Transformer at FCC?

    It looks as if the Asus Transformer is at the FCC for wireless and bluetooth certification. After a quick search of the FCC Office of Engineering and Technology, I found a submission by Asus under the ID MSQTF101. For those of you who don't know how to read the submission numbers, the first three letters MSQ refer to the company filing, and the last combination of letters and numbers refers to the product. Since TF101 is the product number picked by Asus for the Transformer, there is little doubt that this is what the FCC is examining.
    To remind everyone what the Transformer is, this tablet is a 10" affair that will be running Android 3.0 Honeycomb. It will come in with the option of 512 MB or 1 GB of RAM and a 16, 32, or 64 GB SSD. But the most interesting aspect of this tablet is that it will come with a keyboard docking station, changing it into a netbook. In addition, the dock will extend the normal 8 hours of battery life to 16 hours. Pricing is to start at $399 to $699.





Edit: Here is the FCC link if you want to check it out yourself.
