Apparently, the iPad isn't the only tablet in town capable of selling out. While the Asus Eee Pad Transformer might not have the big-name appeal of its Apple rival, the $399 16GB Honeycomb tablet managed to sell out online at Best Buy's website in its first day on sale.
We doubt the Eee Pad Transformer's bizarre show spoof ad is behind the tablet's sales success: at $399, the Transformer is the cheapest way to get a taste of Android's Honeycomb OS — not to mention that the thing can pull an Atrix-like trick by docking into a keyboard station to turn into a makeshift laptop.
Of course, the Eee Pad Transformer's good looks and under-the-hood Honeycomb might not be the only explanation. Since Asus reportedly put more emphasis on the tablet's U.K. debut, U.S. inventory numbers were likely on the small side to begin with.
