Like the ipad would have 'ever' got your money!

These guys are looking at the ipad pre order numbers like everyone else.

Non apple tablets will probably bring in Zune like sales numbers v iPod like sales for the ipad. ]]>Mar 31st 2010 8:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/asuss-jonney-shih-confirms-two-tablets-one-for-googlites-one/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/asuss-jonney-shih-confirms-two-tablets-one-for-googlites-one/
I would look to the MSI Harmony or Notion Ink Adam if that's your main concern. Both will be out before these and be priced comparatively. ]]>Mar 31st 2010 10:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/asuss-jonney-shih-confirms-two-tablets-one-for-googlites-one/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/asuss-jonney-shih-confirms-two-tablets-one-for-googlites-one/Mar 31st 2010 10:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/asuss-jonney-shih-confirms-two-tablets-one-for-googlites-one/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/asuss-jonney-shih-confirms-two-tablets-one-for-googlites-one/

Sounds familiar to a Jobs line not too long ago for a very similar product.

New tablet? Rinse and repeat, I guess. ]]>Mar 31st 2010 8:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/asuss-jonney-shih-confirms-two-tablets-one-for-googlites-one/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/asuss-jonney-shih-confirms-two-tablets-one-for-googlites-one/

I am not going to wait another year for them to deliver it.

People don't want yet another netbook without a keyboard.

You might disagree, and you might not get why people don't want this, like they've never wanted it before, but that doesn't matter. It's (amongst others) one of the reasons you are some random guy on Engadget, instead of the CEO of a multi-billion company. Your preferences != a visionary view of the future. You're preferences == just, well, your preferences, actually]]>Mar 31st 2010 9:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/asuss-jonney-shih-confirms-two-tablets-one-for-googlites-one/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/asuss-jonney-shih-confirms-two-tablets-one-for-googlites-one/
So, essentially, you say he's somewhat ignorant and not a CEO. Then the very next second, you're acting smarter than the CEO from ASUS. Wow, ok, get you're story straight for one. 2nd, I'll tell you what they do want from this product (assuming it has good hardware). Consumers want choice, they like the fact that they will be able to choose between Windows or Android. They will look at the apps, openness and functionality of both and make a decision; if not have one partially made up before hand from reviews and/or personal ecosystem.

The beautiful thing about this products and companies, such as ASUS, is they don't need to hit multimillion in sales just to release a product, the consumers win if they like the product and purchase. Regardless if what you say comes true or not, you sound really arrogant and ignorant, while being dismissive, but perhaps I just misinterpreted your comment. ]]>Mar 31st 2010 10:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/asuss-jonney-shih-confirms-two-tablets-one-for-googlites-one/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/asuss-jonney-shih-confirms-two-tablets-one-for-googlites-one/What does it matter if it sells less than an ipad?

If it makes the company making it money then they won't care and if it's a better product then the people buying them won't care either.]]>Mar 31st 2010 10:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/asuss-jonney-shih-confirms-two-tablets-one-for-googlites-one/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/asuss-jonney-shih-confirms-two-tablets-one-for-googlites-one/Mar 31st 2010 8:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/asuss-jonney-shih-confirms-two-tablets-one-for-googlites-one/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/asuss-jonney-shih-confirms-two-tablets-one-for-googlites-one/Is there an onscreen keyboard for Linux ?]]>Mar 31st 2010 8:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/asuss-jonney-shih-confirms-two-tablets-one-for-googlites-one/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/asuss-jonney-shih-confirms-two-tablets-one-for-googlites-one/Mar 31st 2010 10:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/asuss-jonney-shih-confirms-two-tablets-one-for-googlites-one/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/asuss-jonney-shih-confirms-two-tablets-one-for-googlites-one/If you're gonna run a desktop OS what the he'll is the point of getting a tablet?

Just because it's Windows doesn't mean it's Windows 7. There's this new mobile OS. Maybe you've heard of it? Windows Phone 7 Series.

Now being that that last part is "series" and Microsoft is fond of SKUs, it wouldn't be that big a stretch to think they're planning to use this new OS on tablets as well as phones.]]>Apr 1st 2010 3:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/asuss-jonney-shih-confirms-two-tablets-one-for-googlites-one/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/asuss-jonney-shih-confirms-two-tablets-one-for-googlites-one/
Ok, well that would be interesting I suppose.
I do like a full OS though, and as Linux can have a small footprint too it's the best of both worlds.
If it does turn out to be Win7 Mobile it'll be worth a look.]]>Apr 1st 2010 4:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/asuss-jonney-shih-confirms-two-tablets-one-for-googlites-one/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/asuss-jonney-shih-confirms-two-tablets-one-for-googlites-one/Mar 31st 2010 9:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/asuss-jonney-shih-confirms-two-tablets-one-for-googlites-one/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/asuss-jonney-shih-confirms-two-tablets-one-for-googlites-one/I feel your pain, desktop Linux is a perfect example of why "free" isn't always better since it's only free if you don't value your time.]]>Mar 31st 2010 10:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/asuss-jonney-shih-confirms-two-tablets-one-for-googlites-one/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/asuss-jonney-shih-confirms-two-tablets-one-for-googlites-one/
