Initially it will only be available to Mini and Mini Pro owners, but eventually it’ll be pushed to rest of the current lineup in nine markets, including the US, UK and Japan.

ASUS Eee Pad Slider priced in Portuguese catalog, manhandled on camera (video)

ASUS first showed off its Eee Pad Slider what seems forever ago. That was way, way back at CES, amongst the deluge of tablety announcements. The keyboard-hiding Honeycomb device is finally on its way, having been given an August release date in the UK and recently hitting the FCC in the States. The 10.1-inch tablet just popped up in the August catalog for the Phone House (the Carphone Warehouse’s brand outside the UK) catalog in Portugal, priced at €349 ($497) under contract with ZON — that’s down from €479 ($684) without contract. The forthcoming tablet also hammed it up for the camera recently — video of that after the break.

[Thanks, Zack and Pedro]

Fusion Garage’s Grid 10 tablet clears the FCC, begs us not to call it the ‘JooJoo 2’

If at first you don’t succeed, discontinue your product, carry on a lawsuit, and then try again. That’s the story thus far for Fusion Garage, the company behind the failed JooJoo tablet, an overpriced, hard-to-use slate that proudly omitted all the things people like about tablets — you know, like apps. After the underwhelming sales figures started rolling in, Chandrashekar Rathakrishnan, the company’s founder, admitted that perhaps some people might sometimes be interested in doing things other than surf the web. That was the end of JooJoo, though he promised, ominously, that we hadn’t seen the last of Fusion Garage. Well, here we are: the troubled company just sent another tablet through the FCC, and no, it’s not called the “JooJoo 2.” Rather, this one’s dubbed the “Grid 10” — a likely attempt on Fusion Garage’s part to distance itself as much as possible from its embarrassing (and messy) entrance into the tablet market. For now, though, that’s near-impossible, especially given that this FCC report contains precious few details about what this thing will be capable of. No word either on when the JooJoo will rise from the grave as an Android-running zombie, but our guess is that apocalyptic day is nigh.
