More rumors surrounding the Asus Transformer Prime make their way to the internet. Initially set for a release on December 9, it now appears that the Tegra 3 powered tablet has got another tentative date i.e December 19.

Droid Life says, "there is a chance that it will be later than the 9th (Dec) after all. That does seem sort of late though, especially knowing that Asus has an event planned for early December."
