“Join us as we introduce the truly incredible next transformations.” Given that the only context where Asus has use the “transform” moniker is with an Eee Pad, we’re pretty confident this week’s event has something to do with a new tablet.

They got rid of the “Eee” part of the name for the Transformer Pad Infinity, so the assumption is that the next iteration will likely do the same. The provided teaser points us toward May 31, which would indicate that Asus is going to make its “transformational” announcement at Computex Taipei. It was also there that Asus revealed the Eee PC and the PadFone, among many other products.

Aside from the conjecture about it having something to do with tablets, there is essentially no other information about what Asus is bringing to the biggest trade show in their own Taiwanese backyard. It could be a new tablet, or it could just be some sort of update for existing Pads. The teaser mentions that the “shape of the cloud is ever-changing,” so perhaps it something to do with Eee Storage? A Windows 8 tablet with keyboard dock? We’ll find out in the next couple of days.

It’s pretty much a done deal that the Nexus Tablet will be of the seven-inch variety and it could largely similar to the Asus MeMo 370T, but we had previously heard inklings that it would be powered by the new NVIDIA Tegra3 quad-core processor. In order to achieve the $149 target price, though, it’s said that Google will scrap that idea for a much less expensive dual core processor, possibly a Snapdragon unit from Qualcomm. Even so, they’re promising a “tablet of the highest quality,” whatever that means.

For now, it seems that the so-called Nexus Tablet could make its official debut at CTIA Wireless in New Orleans. That takes place from May 8 to May 10, which is less than two months away. Considering that Nexus devices are usually used as launching points for new versions of Android, it’s also possible that Jelly Bean (Android 4.1? Android 5.0?) could make its debut at the same time, though a Jelly Bean reveal at Google IO on June 27-29 could prove to be more likely.
