Asus Eee Tablet no comments
One of the more interesting ereading devices at Computex in Taipei appears to be the Eee Tablet from Asus. The Eee Tablet uses a 2450 dpi reflective
(not backlit) LCD screen with a Wacom pen-based touchscreen. The device appears to excel for handwritten note taking and sketching. From Asus:
Users can use one of the built-in notepad templates and have the option to store, sort, tag, organize and browse through them. Real time text annotations can also be made on-the-fly. The Eee Tablet makes reading easy, with text file page turns taking just 0.1 seconds—nine times faster than the page turns of normal e-readers. It remains easy on the users’ eyes even after prolonged periods of reading.
You can also write notes on photos taken with the built-in 2 megapixel camera. There is a Micro SD card slot and Asus claims a 10 hour battery life. The price is said to be $299 and the Eee Tablet should be available in September.
The Eee Tablet does look a little hefty, and Engadget says that it weighs about the same as an iPad. The video is from Gearlog.
