ASUS Eee Tablet!

Unbelievable specs!

Quote:
Don't call it the Eee Pad, this is ASUS' Eee Tablet -- a digital notebook with a 2,450 dpi touchscreen and lickity quick 0.1 second page turns on a backlight-less TFT-LCD offering 64-levels of grey. To put that pixel density into perspective, the new iPhone with its rumored 960 x 640 pixel display is expected to pack around 325 pixels per inch, the Kindle 2 measures in at 167 ppi, and the iPad just 132 ppi. As such, ASUS is calling its Eee Tablet one of the world's most accurate and sensitive note taking devices available. The other being paper and pencil of course. While the Eee Tablet will serve up texts and ebooks for reading just fine, ASUS is really pushing the note taking feature with built-in notepad templates and the ability to store, sort, tag, and annotate your notes on the fly. It comes packing a MicroSD slot and 2 megapixel camera for snapping lecture slides which students or professionals can then annotate and then sync back to a PC over USB. Battery life? 10 hours -- so yeah, it's not E-Ink... but then again it's not E-Ink.
I wonder ... I wonder ... I wonder so many things about this gizmo, but off the bat:
1. Is it PixelQi?
2. Why aren't they pushing the e-reader features more?
3. How much?
4. When?

Very, very interested ...
