AsusTek has launched its new Android 3.0 tablet device in Taiwan.

The new tablet device that features 10-finger touch technology differs from other similar offerings with an optional physical keyboard that is "superior" to other docking options for other tablets because of its light weight and flexibility, said the company.

It comes with a detachable front and rear camera for video conferencing.

The EEE Pad Transformer runs on Google’s Android 3.0 OS. The device features a detachable 10.1-inch screen with a front and rear camera.

AsusTek CEO Jerry Shen said users can get a full range of functions including 10-finger touch, Flash supported video viewing, e-book reading, and a physical keyboard so they don’t have to deal with any inconveniences.

The EEE Pad Transformer is expected to hit stores in the UK on 30 March, to be followed by US sales.

In Taiwan, the 16GB version of the tablet without the keyboard sells for about $500, while the keyboard version is priced at about $600.
