Exactly...not quite ready. Seriously, they need to stop announcing products unless it's coming out in 3 months MAX. 2011??

Zune HD and WP7 both use a CE 6 varient... they both would be great for tablets.

Yeah that 12 inch version is SLICK. I would totally buy that. I don't quite get the point of something that ONLY uses a screen, but I totally get a convertible/separable tablet.]]>May 31st 2010 2:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-pad-ep101tc-and-ep121-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-pad-ep101tc-and-ep121-hands-on/May 31st 2010 5:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-pad-ep101tc-and-ep121-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-pad-ep101tc-and-ep121-hands-on/
A 1280x800 resolution would be nice, too. Definitely not worth it with only 600 lines. 800 lines would make it play 720p movies without downscaling AND keep a more reasonable 16:10 aspect ratio, better suitable for both portrait and landscape use.]]>May 31st 2010 7:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-pad-ep101tc-and-ep121-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-pad-ep101tc-and-ep121-hands-on/May 31st 2010 7:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-pad-ep101tc-and-ep121-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-pad-ep101tc-and-ep121-hands-on/

I just want a good tablet, so if the 12 inch will actually work and have 10 hours battery (and please: stylus). It's gonna blow my head...]]>May 31st 2010 5:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-pad-ep101tc-and-ep121-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-pad-ep101tc-and-ep121-hands-on/

Besides that #1 student solution your talking about already exists, its called the TM2 .]]>May 31st 2010 6:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-pad-ep101tc-and-ep121-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-pad-ep101tc-and-ep121-hands-on/
Fail because it promises everything, but delivers nothing (so far).

And the TM2... have you used it? I have... Weight is enormous, not a tablet (thicker, more difficult to maneuver) and the screen... well not the best to make an understatement. Furthermore the battery live is pathetic.]]>May 31st 2010 6:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-pad-ep101tc-and-ep121-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-pad-ep101tc-and-ep121-hands-on/

WTF. The weight is lighter than the iPad. The 10 inch model is only 650ish grams, while the lightest iPad is 680g, and the 3G version is 720ish grams. How is that heavy? Have you EVER attended university? I mean, I carry a shitload of stuff in my bagpack and more in each hands between classes. ]]>May 31st 2010 3:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-pad-ep101tc-and-ep121-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-pad-ep101tc-and-ep121-hands-on/
LOL! "Have you EVER attended university?"

In fact, I'm a PhD student, that's why I can't wait for them to release the ep121. You however still have trouble with basic reading, since you fail read the simple lines mentioning the "TM2" a near 5 pound notebook.

Like I stated, not comparable with this dreammachine... ]]>May 31st 2010 4:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-pad-ep101tc-and-ep121-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-pad-ep101tc-and-ep121-hands-on/May 31st 2010 5:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-pad-ep101tc-and-ep121-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-pad-ep101tc-and-ep121-hands-on/You can totally fool one with this thing. The docking station/laptop hybrid looks really cool. I hope they will build in a locking mechanism. You don't want it to fall in two pieces while walking. But the design and the build quality look really nice I think. Also like the UI although it's probably still in it's alpha phase.]]>May 31st 2010 6:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-pad-ep101tc-and-ep121-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-pad-ep101tc-and-ep121-hands-on/Actually what I do wonder is why is the docking station so thick? It shouldn't be more than the keyboard and the adapter. Everything else is in the top. They probably even put in extra weight which only purpose is for the tablet not to fall over.]]>May 31st 2010 7:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-pad-ep101tc-and-ep121-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-pad-ep101tc-and-ep121-hands-on/
There is probably an additional battery to make it last longer. as well as other standard ports like USB, video-out, ethernet, audo jacks, optical drive, etc. It is a hybrid after all.]]>May 31st 2010 11:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-pad-ep101tc-and-ep121-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-pad-ep101tc-and-ep121-hands-on/On this video they are explaining a bit more. The docking station doesn't seem to offer any additional ports. It's also just a dummy but I guess they have put them in anyway if there should be any.
