Is the Future of the Netbook to be a Tablet?
Asus push the netbook envelope with a new tablet expected for release at Computex. Is the future of the netbook to be a tablet?
A report over at Slash Gear (sourced from a story at Digitimes) mentions that Asus Chairman Jonney Shih says that a "killer product" for release in June. Given that timeing, we'd expect that to be Computex 2010.
With the rising tide of Apple's iPad creating such a buzz and potential new platform it would seem logical that Auss would take the lessons learned from the T91 to deliver an excellent tablet computer. Certianly, they've also gained lots of expertise through the Eee Top line of touchscreen desktop systems.
Asus did show off a new Eee Pad quietly at CES as part of another display so a tablet would hardly be a surprise. It's also interesting that Asus would be the first serious netbook maker to push into this space perhaps signalling that the market that they created wth the first Eee PCs is getting a little crowded. It's better to lead the way to a new market rather than be squeezed out of an old one.
