Earlier this week sources close to Asus were reporting that shortages their Asus Eee Pad Transformer were due to supply chain problems and only allowed them to produce 10,000 units a month. Well Asus have now been approached and officially replied to the speculation explaining the shortages are completely demand based an not to do with supply chain problems, as earlier thought.

Asus was contacted by the Net Book News website who asked about the supply shortages and spoke to ASUSTek Spokesperson David Chang to get a definitive answer.

HP’s TouchPad may be insecure enough to hide under a fake name, but it’s not shy about either its release date or pricing. June 22 will see both versions, 16GB and 32GB out in the open, at least according to Synnex, whose website leaked the information. The webOS-sporting tablet will be going for either $499.99 or $599.99, the cost of admission if you’re willing to help a struggling mobile OS out in the face of some pretty overwhelming odds.
