It’s practically raining tablets these days. Asus mentioned that their Eee Pad Slider will be arriving next month, but it seemed that you don’t have to wait till the month of October to sink your teeth into this Android 3.2-sporting slate. The Slider is already available from a variety of outlets, including New Egg and Amazon, starting at $479.

In a related news, a close competitor, the Archos 80 G9 tablet running the same Android 3.2 is also up for pre-order direct from Archos starting at just $299.
