On Wednesday, an anonymous source confirmed to Asus Tablet the final specifications of the Asus Eee PC T101H netbook tablet. It is the sister tablet to the ASUS Eee PC T91 (whose models have been confirmed on Tuesday) and the biggest difference between the two is the size. The T101H will appeal to more advanced users as it sports a 10.1″ screen as opposed to the T91’s 9″ screen. It is not clear if the T101H will have the same amount of variations as the T91 but we can only hope, or should we? The specifications right now show the T101H to have the same specs as the most upscale models of the T91, the ASUS Eee pC T91, the ASUS Eee pC T91go and the ASUS Eee pC T91A (the unknown but possible T91Ago) It holds a full GPS chip, 3G abilities and a multi-touch interface. To make you even more exited, here’s a hands-on video with the T101H: According to ASUS UK, the T101H is expected in the end of August 2009, or early September 2009. Specifications for the T101H

Is this the netbook tablet we’ve actually all been waiting for? Should we consider the T91 as just a sample version of the real thing? Tell us which tablet netbook you would now choose, in the comments. Update: ASUS UK confirmed to us the anonymous source is not correct about this information, as the specifications are not even known by them.

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 T91T101H. 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 iPhoneHTC 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?):

Hi! My name is Heather. Apart from being marketing director for a medium enterprise consultancy firm, I’m a big-time gadget freak. I can’t leave the house without my iPod Nano, XPeria and MacBook Pro! I a follow the gadget news a lot and it was just announced that Asus will be releasing the first tablet netbook! This means a netbook with a touchscreen. I can’t wait! Writing my notes with a pen when I’m in the subway or in class, or just watching a movie without having a lame keyboard on there! From this website I will be updating YOU about the first netbook tablets Asus will introduce and show you how these tablet netbooks are creating a whole new segment in consumer computing. Take care and keep reading!
