The ASUS Eee PC T91 Tablet

I want one and I want it now!!!!!!!!!

Asustek Computer on Tuesday unveiled its latest Eee PC netbook, with an 8.9-inch touchscreen that swivels and can even fold down to convert the device into a tablet PC. The new touchscreen Eee PC, the T91, is similar to a netbook Giga-byte Technology launched earlier this year, the M912, which also boasts an 8.9-inch touchscreen that swivels. The two devices run Microsoft’s Windows XP OS, have Intel Atom microprocessors inside, and have the same size swivel touchscreens. The M912 differs slightly in using a more powerful 1.6GHz Intel Atom microprocessor, while the Eee PC T91 carries a 1.33GHz Atom that has slightly better power savings and includes support for a few technologies such as Intel Virtualization. In the T91, Asus goes a step further on the software side to make touch navigation a little easier.

The company developed its own touch mode software at research and development centers in Taiwan and China, said Jonney Shih, chairman of Asustek, at a news conference in Las Vegas ahead of the International Consumer Electronics Show, which opens Thursday. The T91 also comes with a TV tuner so people can watch their favorite shows on the road, and GPS (global positioning system) technology to transform the netbook into a navigation device. Shih said the Eee PC T91 will be on the market within the next three to six months. Pricing information was not immediately available.

Except it runs Windows instead of Linux. I was really excited that the ASUS EEE PCs all came with Linux loads. This is definitely the type of technology I'm looking for to complement my eInk reader(s).

Which means you may be able to run all kind of reading software on it, like the GREAT ADE for example

But seriously, put Calibre on it and read all formats with one app (and Mobipocket to be able to buy those DRMed books). Now if the screen is just a little bit better than the one on the "old" EEE ...

Pavillion tx 2500. Vista 64 bit machine, which has some suckoid aspects, but I'm adjusting. At least my Livescribe pen now works on it without problems.

I love my little EEE 4g, so that tablet would be great. No Linux? That's sad.

Any idea of prices?

Andybaby · 01-10-2009, 05:24 PM

i also have a 4g 7" EEE,

this think looks beatiful.

Considering the 8.9 inch regular EEEs are 300ish on a good day.
i dont expect these to go over 600 bucks at launch. I would be suprised if it were less than 499 at launch,
