Asustek primes Eee Pad to rival Apple's iPad | Tablets | Macworl
Netbook pioneer Asustek Computer will debut its first tablet computing device at Computex Taipei this June, making it one of several Taiwanese companies planning to reveal their would-be iPad-killers at the trade show. Asustek is working on at least two tablet devices, a company representative said Thursday. A prototype of its first Eee Pad tablet device was displayed at the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas earlier this year.

The company is also working on other versions of the Eee Pad that have Microsoft Windows on board and use Intel Atom microprocessors.

Why are iPads selling as fast as Apple’s Chinese subcontractors can crank them out? In part, it’s because the iPad has a suddenly-hot product category pretty much to itself. Before scuttlebutt that Apple was working on a tablet started to heat up, no major PC manufacturer seemed to think that consumers wanted a general-purpose, touchscreen-only computing device.

Hardware Faceoff: iPad vs. Netbook
The iPad is here . Apple's much anticipated tablet device has swept the nation , and whether you can't get enough of your iPad or want to destroy every single one , it's tough to deny that the Apple hype machine has done it again.
