Asus Chairman Jonney Shih says the company is working on a second version of its dock-able Eee Pad Transformer, according to Forbes.

Asus TransformerNo details on either hardware or launch date are available as yet, other than Shih saying the device will be "impressive".

Forbes speculates the Transformer 2 will carry nVidia's recently announced quad-core Tegra 3 chip, aka Kal-El.

Asus describes the first Transformer as its most popular Android tablet (from the four tablets it announced earlier this year). It fits inside a physical keyboard dock and carries a dual-core Tegra 2 processor and 10" IPS display.

The company is also working on software that should deliver a "more uniform user experience" across its mobile devices, as well as pushing its netbooks towards a more premium market with an ultra-thin high-end ultrabook to ship later in Q3 2011.
