New pictures of the forthcoming full tablet PC by ASUS have risen up. The new picture seems to be an artist rendering of how the Eee Pad may look like. The tablet will be directly competing against the forthcoming Apple Tablet, which is scheduled for the end of January. However, the Eee Pad will be a late-comer in this respect, as it is expected for the end of 2010.
The EeePad will look similar to ASUS’ latest T91 and T101 offering, albeit without a keyboard. It will sport a 4 to 7-inch capacitive touch screen display with multi-touch as well as haptic feedback. (Pictures are not official but artist renderings instead)

This seems to be an altered photograph of the screen section of an Asus T91, with the silver “hinge” digitally removed.
The T91 is a convertible netbook/tablet, with a screen that can hinge to point down or up. The “giveaway” in the photo is the four small circles above the screen. Those are rubber pads meant to cushion the impact of the top of the screen on the keyboard when the lid of the T91 is shut. The row of four rubber shock-protectors also appears above the screens of other ASUS netbooks.
But there’s no obvious reason why a dedicated one-piece tablet would have this row of little rubber pads above (but not below) the screen. Since the image also shows the same lower-left switches as a t91, I think its a doctored T91 picture.

What can you possibly expect to accomplish with a 4-7inch screen anyway? What a dealbreaker. Even the tablets were failures. First came out with a 9in screen which was sort of small, next they release a 10in version with outdated processing power. No Ion when the other players are planning to ship Ion2 on their systems? Directly competing? Really? Asus is just playing it way too safe.
