Remember the Asus EEE Pad EP121, presented at Computex? Apparently ASUS is working hard at bringing it to market, as some guy in Poland (editor at CHIP magazine) got to play a little with a prototype. I'm not sure it was a working one, but it's the first time we clearly see how the removable keyboard (including a second battery and storage) really works.There's not much to say about this hands on, besides the fact that the prototype looks really good, with great overall finish. I can't say m...
We've told you about ASUS's plans o launch its own touch tablet sometime in July, during Computex Tapei, the largest IT Show in Asia, but we didn't knew too much then about the versions and OSes that will power variations of the EEE Pad (it seems ASUS EEE Pad will be the official name). Recently the ASUS CEO confirmed that the company plans include 10 inch versions with Windows 7 and ATOM CPU and other screen sizes with ARM core technology that will run on Google, either Android or Chrome OS. ...

The OS is not yet known but it won't be based on Windows CE.My take is the 500 $ speculated price point is too big, especially given the use of a mobile chipset, not...
It's not the first time we talk about the ASUS with its rumored EEE PC slate type tablet (or better said PAD) which apparently was present at CES this year but not where you would expect it but at Nvidia's booth where it was displayed as an ASUS concept tablet using the Tegra 2 chipset.[caption id="attachment_942" align="aligncenter" width="500" caption="ASUS EEE Tablet prototype"][/caption]It's clear that for now ASUS hasn't decided it to go on with this tablet because the prototype dis...
Guess what Asus, the creator of netbook concept is doing right now? I won't let you guess, it's working on a cheap tablet EEE PC (maybe called EEE Pad). Everything is in rumor stage wight now, but it seems plausible for them to work on a cheap tablet PC alternative.[caption id="attachment_611" align="aligncenter" width="480" caption="User tablet mod of a EEE PC 701"][/caption]The best guess right now is that we won't see a convertible tablet netbook but more like a tablet/slate, with...
