Asus has revealed three new tablets at the Computex 2010, the first being the Asus Eee Tablet which is more of a note making device along with an eReader and the other two being the EP101TC and the EP121 which belong to the new Asus Eee Pad series.
Asus Eee Tablet
The Asus Eee Tablet (actually a pad), which is a digital notebook with 2,450 dpi input sensitivity which gives you the feeling that you are writing on a paper. Asus has replaced the E-Ink with a backlight-less TFT-LCD screen which enables 0.1 second page turns. The screen has 64-level of grey and offers a battery life of around 10 hours. Apparently this is supposed to be the world’s most accurate and sensitive note-making device. The tablet offers a lot of notepad templates and the ability to store, tag, sort and also annotate your notes on the fly. It can be used as an eReader, has a MicroSD card slot and a 2-megapixel camera so you can click snaps, then annotate them and then sync them back to your PC using USB. Not exactly as multi featured as the iPad, but a niche product that is aimed to be priced at around $199-$299.
Asus Eee Pad
The Asus Eee Pad (this one is a tablet, but called a Pad) series features two tablets, the Asus EP121 which is a 12-inch tablet powered by Intel’s Core 2 Duo CULV processor, has Windows 7 operating system, handles multitasking and provides a battery-life of around 10 hours. The second one is the Asus EP101TC which is a 10-inch tablet. We know that it will run Windows Embedded Compact 7 and will also provide a battery-life of around 10 hours. No other details are available, and the devices showcased at Computex were crude prototypes, so we can expect improvements by the time it hits the market.
