Asus!

The question is whether it's this one:


or this one:



From their description it sounds like the second one is what they're talking about.

$600/€460 - Too expensive even if it includes VAT/Sales Tax.
Some of the iRex Readers are over €400 but Asus is a huge company (esp. compared to iRex) that should have economies of scale in the manufacturing of the device. Also look where iRex is now -barely alive as a new/reformed company.
It may be offered subsidised with a mobile operator but how many will sign up to a 12 month+ contract just to have 3G and a lower price?

I'm interested in the eee tablet (first pic) myself. This news(if accurate) doesn't look good for the Eee tablet's $199-$299 price tag.

Let's hope digitimes has got it wrong
