Of course

I just bought and love my G-Tablet. So, it’s no surprise that ASUS comes out with their EeePad.

Well, “G” comes after “E”, so you’re good until someone makes an H-pad.

I’m not seeing the point there, myself.

As a tablet, there’s some sense there – but then they take a touch-oriented tablet OS and attach a touchpad to it…

Touch UI + Cursor UI = Bad Juju.

If I understand correctly, when the keyboard is attached the system switches to a primarily cursor-based UI – because the biggest problem with previous tablet + keyboard combos is that you still have to reach up to the screen for any non-text based inputs. When you attach the keyboard to the Asus, it essentially turns into an Android-based netbook.

I think the most important part is the price. Unlike other tablets running Honeycomb (*cough* $800 Motorola Xoom *cough*), this is coming out at a price point less than the iPad ($100 less than the equivalent wi-fi only iPad), and even if you get the 32GB model and add the keyboard the whole package is about the same as an upper-end netbook, with the bonus that it’s a tablet, too.

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
