Asus confirms budget Eee Pad tablets
Asus Eee Pads – coming soon
Asus has confirmed that it will be releasing two models of its hotly anticipated Eee Pad. The touchscreen tablet will be setting its sights on the Apple iPad, an there’s another two gadgets up the company’s sleeves too.
The new Eee Pad will come in two flavours – one Android and one Windows Embedded Compact 7. Both will feature the same 10-inch touchscreens, but the former will cost $400, the latter a slightly pricier $500.
Asus also announced a tablet aimed at the higher end of the market and retailing at around $1,000. It’ll also run Windows 7 and come with a docking station, so that you can plug it in and use it like your desktop.
The company has also announced that it would also release an Eee Tablet eBook reader – a grayscale device that’ll sell for $300.
Asus’s tablet range is expected early 2011, while the eBook reader could be with us as early as October this year.

Still waiting for a fully featured pad, all facilities of a top end smart phone but maybe without the phone part. With a decent machine the possibilities are endless for good Augmented reality... and I'm not just on about games. I see English Heritage using them as interactive history, this is how the castle looks now but through the window :) of the Xpad you see the castle as it appeared to the people living there, going about their lives, just look around and see it in its spender. Imagine being there in a battle with it going on around you. Maybe see an Egyptian Ceremony form within it. Follow, a sneak through the secret passages, watch as priests are hidden in their hide aways against persecution, as places are ransacked. Possibilities endless to be inside the action and the history.
