Asus Bets on Transformer Prime to Sell 3-6 Million Tablets in 2012

Asus will sell 3-6 million tablet PCs in 2012, against 1.8 million in 2011, company chairman Jonney Shih said recently. [via CENS.com]

Shih is optimistic about the long term prospects of tablet computers in general, and Asus' Transformer Prime in particular, which is currently the only tablet with an optional keyboard and battery dock, facilitating the use of a physical keyboard.

Asus is pursuing a patent for the detachable keyboard dock, as well as working on a new tablet with an attached physical keyboard.

Shih's optimism is also driven by the expected launch of Windows 8 in the second half of 2012. Windows 8 will allows tablets to be used for data creation, not just media consumption as is the case now.

According to Shih, Asus will launch a Windows 8 version of Transformer Prime in 2012.

Shih acknowledged that some Transformer Primes were facing Wi-Fi signal problems. The company has posted a product exchange for those facing the issue on its website.
