The Asus Eee PC T101MT has been out for a month or so now and the response to it has been mixed.
The T101MT’s sturdy build quality, slick looks and small size are appreciated but its touch screen response is lacking in many respect. The touch screen requires a hard press to respond. The combination of slow performance and bad touch screen response make things worse, as sometimes the user simply does not know if the device actually received the finger touch or not.

Asus seems to single-handedy be creating a whole new product segment. Like they did by being one of the first producing the early netbooks and starting a trend for other manufacturers like Acer, HP and Dell to follow. Now they are doing it again with their tablet netbooks T91, T101H. They are not even out yet, but already other manufacturers are inspired to jump in.
The demand for a small compact 8″ to 11″ swivelling netbook with a touchscreen is expected to be huge. It bridges the the gap between touch phones like the iPhone, HTC Touch and XPeria and netbooks/laptops without any touch functionality. Especially with costs of touchscreens decreasing rapidly (just look at the modded netbooks with $100 touchscreens already), manufacturers are enthusiastic to go for it.
Here’s two of the first tablet netbooks other than Asus’s that will be available soon, they are by Chinese manufacturer Fuyijama (related to Fuji?):
