ASUS Eee Pad pictures released

Heather — Sat, 09 Jan 2010 06:40:25 +0000

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.

Asus T101MT passes through FCC, expected Q2 2010, specs inside

Heather — Thu, 31 Dec 2009 05:09:10 +0000

We have been waiting on the launch of the ASUS Eee PC T101H or ASUS Eee PC T101MT, or 10.1″ model of the Asus tablet for over a year now. For many potential customers, the T91 with its 8.9″ screen was simply too small to justify its price. With the passing of the T101MT through the FCC, all rumors and gossip can come to an end. Before a new electronics product launches, it has to be checked for consumer safety by the FCC. Most products pass without any hardship and therefore you can usually expect a product to launch soon after the FCC has seen it. The current expectations in the blogosphere and around industry analysts is that the T101MT will be shown at the Consumer Electronics Show in January 2010 and will hit stores in Q2 of 2010.

T101MT Specifications (unconfirmed)

Screen: 10.1″ LED Backlight / Capacitive Multi-Touch Panel
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium (32 bit)
Resolution: 1024 x 600 (WSVGA)
Battery: Li-polymer, 5 hours runtime

Multi-touch ASUS Eee PC T91MT and T101P leaked

Heather — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 19:32:35 +0000

Update: ASUS Eee PC T91MT was confirmed a few weeks ago and is now up for purchase on Amazon.

An industry insider has just leaked the roadmap for the upcoming line-up of ASUS Eee PC products for the next year. Apart from several new Eee PCs, it contains news on the future of the ASUS Eee PC T91.

Apparently ASUS has not decided to scrap the T91 altogether but instead follow it up with a multi-touch version, called the T91MT (not the T91A as reported before). It sports a 32Gb SSD (solid state drive) and its price will be at $549 or around EUR 399.

Additionally, the roadmap also contains the Asus Eee PC T101P. This is the first time we hear it being called P instead of H. Does the P stand for the Intel PineTrail spec? We’ll hear later. The T101P will be released in 2010. Under the hood, it will sport a standard Atom N450 processor, Pine Trail and running Windows 7. That sounds like a winner to us!

ASUS Eee PC T101H release date in September 2009 “at the earliest”

Heather — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 15:01:18 +0000

ASUS will be releasing their 10.1″ netbook touchscreen in September 2009 at the earliest according to industry sources cited by DigiTimes. The release date is more than two months later than previously announced.

The follow up to the just released smaller illustrious Eee PC T91 will hold an Intel Atom Z520 processor running at 1.33 GHz, 1Gb of DDR2 RAM memory and a 16Gb SSD storage under the hood.

Possible extras are a 16Gb memory card and the potential for a GPS, 3G and Digital TV tuner, however this is not confirmed yet by ASUS officially.

Slashgear reports that ASUS is using the sales of the Eee PC T91 as a prediction for the success of the T101H. The T91 was met with some strong criticism but overall it was received quite well.

It could be a good step for ASUS to change the specifications of the T101H based on the problems with the T91. It is reported to sometimes respond slowly and the touch interface does not work well with the included standard version of Windows XP. However, as Windows 7 will be released at the end of this year, they might be able to fix this in one shot. Just include a faster processor and it’s a win for ASUS.
