Update March 17: Asus has just started the official Zenfone pre order phase in Taiwan. We have details here.
Okay, first we are just getting up to speed on the Asus Zenbo as it was just unveiled on May 30th. Trust us when we say, we are doing our very best to get you the answers regarding Zenbo pre orders.
Here is what is being reported which can provide some insight into when pre orders might begin.
Asus hopes to release the Zenbo robot at the end of September. That would be the most optimistic forecast however. The latest possible release date, according to a report on the subject, suggests November is the latest Asus will say right now. Obviously the key is for them to have the Zenbo on the market and in retail stores for the 2016 Holiday shopping season.
So with those target release dates in mind, it’s entirely possible that pre order could begin in July, but this is our best guess right now. One to two months prior to a product release is fairly common when it comes to pre orders. Based on what we have observed the demand for Zenbo could exceed Asus’ expectations and they may need to open up pre orders earlier just to meet the demand for the robot.
What we can say, based on our experience with technology products, that if you were ever to pre order a product, Zenbo would be the one you want to do it for. We are predicting that Asus has a smash hit on their hands and the question is whether they will be able to meet demand.
