Best Buy Prices EeePad Transformer at $400

If last week's Asus EeePad Transformer announcement had you drooling, then you'll probably be interested in hearing how much the tablet-with-keyboard-attachment affair is going to retail for.

Sadly, though Asus was more than happy to release fancy press shots, specs and a ball-park release date for the device, the company did not reveal pricing for the Transformer. A little less sad: someone at Best Buy slipped up and pushed the product page for the Transformer live a little early. Hooray!

Previous rumors put the device at $500 with the keyboard attachment costing $100 more on top of that; however, Best Buy's listing reveals we could see the 16GB version of this Tegra 2 tablet go for as little as $400. Best Buy didn't leave the product page up for long, so all we've got in the way of proof is this nice screenshot from Netbook News, but it’s enough to get us excited.

The release for this baby is 'early April' according to Asus, so we won’t have to wait long to find out the official pricing (considering April is, you know, here). For those that are feeling a little hazy on the details of the machine, specwise you're looking at Nvidia's Tegra 2 chipset, 1GB of RAM, a front-facing 1.2-megapixel camera, a rear-facing 5-megapixel camera, a 10.1-inch Gorilla glass multitouch screen (1280x800), a combined battery life of 16 hours (9.5 hours without the dock), built-in SRS Sound technology for dynamic 3D stereo audio, a mini HDMI output port, 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.1, a G-sensor, light sensor, gyroscope, e-compass and GPS. According to Asus, the full-hinged QWERTY keyboard docking station provides unique Android Function keys, an SD card reader and two USB ports, along with the additional battery.
