The Asus Eee Pad, the rumoured name for the company’s mystery tablet computer, will be unveiled in June, according to the latest report working its way around the web.
Asus’s president revealed just last week that the Taiwanese company had a tablet PC in its labs, but was biding its time to pull together content partners for it. But now the DigiTimes says that the slate, dubbed the “Eee Pad”, will be revealed at Computex, a tradeshow held in Taipei in early June.
Asus: Tablet exists, we have it in our labs
The report goes on to say that NVIDIA’s Tegra chip will be powering the graphics, so you can expect video to play a big part in the Asus Eee Pad, and that it may cost less than $500 (Just over £300).
NVIDIA’s CEO predicted that 2010 would be the year of the tablet at CES this month, and an Eee Pad could be one of the machines leading the charge. Of course, there’s a certain Apple tablet that could be coming before then: will it be too little too late from Asus?
