Asus Unveils the Eee Tablet and Eee Pad At Computex

Finally, we see Asus doing something to take on with the iPad. At Computex 2010, Asus introduces three kinds of tablets to the world. Surprisingly, one of them is disguised as a laptop…
The Eee Tablet

It’s an e-book reader, a pad for you to draw stuff on it and a tablet for its name. It has a note-taking function and allows you to read e-books on it. It’s designed to compete with the Kindle, not the iPad. It uses a TFT-LCD display panel with the resolution of 2450 dpi. You can draw and touch the panel with stylus. Moreover, it includes a SIM card slot, a 2 megapixel camera and mic for audio recording. Please don’t wish for any colors on this device, it only gives you black and white image. Available in third quarter of 2010, at $199-299 US dollar.
The Eee Pad (EP101TC, 10-inch)
It’s a tablet powered by Windows CE. Running on Nvidia Tegra 2 platform, it sure gives you some power. Weighing at just 675 grams, it’s definitely the lightest tablet we have ever seen. It’s built with a special user interface which looks like Android OS, and most importantly, it supports Flash. It includes a SD card slot and a SIM card slot. Available in first quarter of 2011, at $399-499 US dollar.
The Eee Pad (EP121, 12-inch)

It’s a tablet and a laptop at the same time. It’s running full-blown Windows 7 desktop OS underneath with an Intel Core 2 Duo ultra low voltage processor. Asus provides you a compact desktop docking station with a slim cordless keyboard which lets your 12-incher Eee pad to transform into a desktop tablet PC. It’s cool but it takes some time for consumers to know what this product actually do. The docking station includes three USB ports and a HDMI port. Available in second quarter of 2011, price is still unknown.
Asus has no plans of including Android OS on any one of the tablets and for those Android fanboys, you can give up your dream for owning these tablets with Android OS. Well, all I can say is that Windows CE and Win7 are not supposed to be embedded with on tablet devices…
