Spice Transformer M-5500 Dual-SIM Phone
After a tremendous success of the Tranformers movie series, looks like Spice Mobiles is cashing on the gaining popularity of the Hollywood action packed movie, with the launch of its new phone called ‘Transformers’.
And the phone does have a reason to be named after the famous movie series, due to its exclusive feature of transforming from a Candy Bar phone to a Touch screen one. Now that sounds really interesting! Yes the phone comes with a keypad, which can be removed to make it look like a touch screen phone, and can be replaced back when you feel like using it like a normal phone with the keypad.
Spice Transformer M-5500 phone comes with preloaded Transformer 3 movie wallpapers, themes and videos.
“Transformer offers an exhilarating mix of style, innovation and features that is a breakthrough in the mobile handset market in India. With its form changing capability, we have yet again tried to offer a product that appeal to the ever trendy youth as it is as per their requirement and affordability. The tie up with Transformers 3 movie is further expected to raise its appeal quotient”, said Mr. Kunal Ahooja, CEO, S Mobility.
The Spice Transformer phone comes with a price tag of Rs. 4599, and will be available for purchase from July in India.
ASUS EeePad Slider and 3G Transformer hitting UK in August
Earlier this year at CES 2011, ASUS officially announced the ASUS EeePad Transformer and EeePad Slider. Both are Android tablets and feature some amazing specs. EeePad Transformer is already available in several countries, and when it was launched by BestBuy in USA, it was sold out with-in few hours. Now ASUS has officially announced via their Facebook account that ASUS EeePad Slider is coming to UK in August as well as 3G version of EeePad Transformer is also coming in August. Well, ASUS didn’t tell us when these upcoming models are hitting USA, but we can expect it sometime around August or September.
EeePad Slider looks like an amazing tablet, and the design is also really cool. EeePad Transformer is selling like hotcakes in USA and other parts of the world, and people would love to get their hands on 3G version of it. No words on the price of both tablets, but what my guess is that EeePad Slider will cost a little more than EeePad Transformer, and the 3G version of EeePad Transformer will be on top of the line. It’s possible that EeePad Slider will feature Intel Atom processor instead of Tegra 2.
So people in UK, are you planning to get one of these in August, anyone?
