Kal-El release date?

[taltamir]

Well, it's august 2011 and according to anandtech:

Kal-El will be sampling this year and shipping in devices as early as August 2011.

So... where are my Kal-El devices? Have there been delays in Kal-El? Are products in reviewer hands to be released shortly? what?

Will that only be on Android items?

I forget the tradeshow but i think microsoft was showing off a kal-el tablet running windows 8 playing a 1080p video that apparently started around 50% processor usage and dropped to ~10%. Would be cool to see the transformer2 with kal-el.

The real question is when the first good devices using Kal-El will ship. The Tegra 2 was used in several subpar tablets last year before it actually made it into anything worth owning.

Tablets at the end of the year. Phones next year like January, February.

Didn't NVIDIA push back the release date of Kal-El to Oct?

i haven't heard that but it would explain the odd absence of devices. anyone have a link for this?

Oldest hype trick is to say the devices are coming soon so that you don't buy the competition

Looks like a trick or treat..

The pricing rumor is it will slide into the current transformer pricing. Definately on my christmas list of things to get. Probably sell my current tablet to a friend or craigslist it for 200ish and get the 399 version!

Kal-El tablets should be coming by holiday season, ~1 month before Christmas I guess.
