ASUS teases new tablet to be unveiled at Computex

Tablets

While consumers the world over are still busy trying to get their hands on ASUS’s Eee Pad Transformer, ASUS is prepping a new slate to be unveiled next week at Computex 2011. The Taiwan-based computer maker took to its Facebook page to tease what will seemingly be another unique device. “Break the rules: pad or phone?,” ponders a graphic at the top of the company’s Facebook page. ASUS also seemingly planted three teaser photos of the device on an enthusiast blog to help stir up speculation. The “pad or phone” question leads us to believe the device could be a smaller tablet, possibly in the 5 to 7-inch range, with cellular connectivity or perhaps deeply integrated VoIP functionality. Alternatively, we could possibly be looking at another convertible form factor of some kind, which may help ASUS continue to distinguish its tablet offerings from competing tablets as it did with the Transformer. ASUS will unveil the device at its press conference from Computex on May 30th. Hit the break for three teaser images posted by TechInStyle.tv.

    It’s a tablet AND a phone. Think Atrix but with a tablet.

    I like how it says ASUSDESIGN on the side that looks like an iPhone.

    And with a bezel like the first picture, it’s gonna be the worst ‘phone’ ever.

    I’m sure Steve Jobs knew he was creating a new market when he first unveiled the iPad, but I’m also sure he didn’t know how big a can of worms he was opening. From that they on, the buying public has been inundated, almost daily, with ”new and better than…” slates from every company that can borrow money to pay for parts and assemblage somewhere in China. Unfortunately for them, it has been, so far, all money down the drain. The iPad still reigns supreme, selling by the truckload, totally undisturbed, with no end in sight for its success.

    Sorry for the typo. “From that they on,” should;ve been “from that day on,”

    I’m hoping it’s the 7″ Eee Pad Memo, but the back doesn’t look anything like the one shown at CeBIT.
