ASUS has confirmed that it will soon launch the Windows 8 tablet. The company launched its much-hyped Eee Pad Transformer Prime tablet in India in March at a price of Rs 49,999. The tablet runs Android 3.2 operating system and is upgradable to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich OS. Since then, the launch of a Windows 8 tablet has been the hot topic for everyone.

Talking about the official launch time of the Windows 8 tablet, Alex Huang, country manager System Business Group, ASUS India, said, Right now, we don't have the concrete time because we are waiting for Microsoft to launch Windows 8 operating system. Only when Microsoft officially announces Windows 8, we will be able to launch a Windows 8 tablet.
Huang further said that Microsoft is still working on its campaign and so ASUS will either launch the tablet together with the launch of Windows 8 by Microsoft or within a month's time of its official launch.
The cost of the upcoming tablet is not confirmed yet but it will most probably be a high-end product. Cost is not confirmed yet as once Windows 8 is launched, the hardware configuration will also change. So, the tablet will need some change design wise and hardware wise. Only then we will be able to decide the exact costing, said Huang.
