ASUS TF500T Tablet Approved by the FCC

ASUS will be one of the four companies to launch Windows RT on ARM tablets when Microsoft releases the Surface, which means that the TF500T might be such a device.

The TF500T has just cropped up on the Federal Communications Commission website.

We aren't totally sure this is a Windows RT tablet, or even a Windows 8 tablet based on an x86 CPU, but considering the fact that this is the very first time anyone hears about it we'd say there is a good chance for it.

The only hardware details included in the filing are the HDMI, microphone and Wi-Fi, demanded by the fact that the FCC tests connectivity and I/O.

Other than that, there is a schematic of the rear side of the TF500T, showing the rectangular shape with nearly sharp corners, plus the label positions.

If this is a Windows RT tablet or one with Windows 8, it will launch in October at the earliest. If it is an Android device, it may arrive sooner.
