If you read it, what it really says is 'the drawing accuracy of the digitiser is 2450 dpi' not 'screen resolution it 2450 dpi' which would be ridiculous (but awesome if true).]]>May 31st 2010 4:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-tablet/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-tablet/
Like he said, nothing beats a good ol' pen(cil) and paper for note taking. ]]>May 31st 2010 4:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-tablet/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-tablet/May 31st 2010 4:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-tablet/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-tablet/May 31st 2010 4:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-tablet/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-tablet/Would be great if the tablets use something like InkSeine that Microsoft Research has been working on.

You're a fucking moron. This thing takes notes, plays music and is an e-reader. THAT'S IT.

It doesn't play movies (unless you enjoy black & white movies), stream music, play games or anything else. As a music player, you would have to be pretty desperate to use this as a music player. As an e-reader it has every disadvantage of the ipad, being LCD. And doesn't even have a backlight so forget about using it without good lighting. Seriously, you Apple haters are just ridiculous. Your mindless kneejerk anti-Apple reactions ooze stupidity.]]>May 31st 2010 4:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-tablet/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-tablet/
Would definitely come in handy for students - I would have loved something like this back at university. Just make sure it can read all those Office files (and save them to pdf/ whatever after notes are taken). This could be a hit, especially since with the price they're planning.]]>May 31st 2010 4:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-tablet/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-tablet/
far more useful for people do a lot of drawing stuff like me]]>May 31st 2010 4:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-tablet/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-tablet/
Not yet.
It MIGHT look hot if it will come with the right OS and the right UI .
For all we know it may end up running win DOS 3.1]]>May 31st 2010 5:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-tablet/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-tablet/If you learned to draw pressure sensitivity is everything and the ipad cannot offer that, regardless of how fly the youtube sketchbook pro vids look, this thing seems to be pressure senstive.

For making ngineering notes this is the best, I've tried with paper notebooks and a wacom bamboo but this looks like my dream come true device.

For me this is like the ultimate solution to declutter my desktop: It tags notes, it is precise.

I want!

Thanks to prove that ipad is only for entertainment, not for using in school.

You should read the article and find out this device's target market before commenting. An ipad is not good for that market segment. ]]>May 31st 2010 6:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-tablet/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-tablet/*Sigh* this is a good product but only serves to remind me what the Courier could have been...]]>May 31st 2010 12:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-tablet/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-tablet/Funny, my iPad does a lot more than this eee pad does. That's not the point, though - this will be cheaper, and will be good for drawing. It's more like an e-book reader that you can sketch on.
You should probably think before you make comments that make you look insane. ]]>May 31st 2010 10:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-tablet/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-tablet/http://j.mp/dr950-from-asus]]>Jun 1st 2010 2:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-tablet/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-tablet/As a student, I respectfully disagree.

I can't stand paper. Kludgy stuff.

Tablet PC + OneNote is a godsend for me. I just write or draw it in, and it's there, like pen and paper. But I'm not limited to the size of a sheet of paper. It's also easier to edit, easier to duplicate, and easier to sort. I can even search my digital ink handwriting without converting it to plain text first-it's recognized in the background and indexed.

The Eee Tablet recognizes the importance of an active electro-magnetic resonance pen (Wacom being the leading provider) in a tablet, thankfully. However, the grayscale screen is a drawback, albeit one that may likely be necessary for long battery life.

Being priced at $200-300, while about right where it should be, still leaves it competing with old HP TC1100, Toshiba Portege M200, and Motion M1400 Tablet PCs on eBay. The portability and battery life will have to really set the Eee Tablet apart for it to be worthwhile over even those old Tablet PCs.]]>Jun 6th 2010 8:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-tablet/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-tablet/May 31st 2010 3:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-tablet/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-tablet/May 31st 2010 3:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-tablet/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-tablet/i really very much wish that wacom would provide the pen input sensor technology for this - unbeatable...]]>May 31st 2010 4:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-tablet/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-tablet/+1
Agreed but to add a few more thoughts:
When it has a colour screen. is pressure sensitive and bluetooth/WiFi capable connection to my primary computer , so I can hold it like a real drawing tablet - I will be interested.

I think it is a start at what has been hoped for since ]]>May 31st 2010 4:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-tablet/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-tablet/is this not pressure sensitive? I cant find out either way?
If it is not I'm going to cry myself to sleep tonight.]]>May 31st 2010 6:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-tablet/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-tablet/If the old reliables; pen, paper, canvas, etc. didn't keep you interested in "art and design", you're probably better off saving your money.

And what is up with these colorless pads posing as sketch books???

I love tablets, and am really intrigued by this one, but who is the market?

Its probably too little battery life for students unless they are religious about charging it. Its not color, so it's not going to be a popular consumer thing, the (pressure) resolution is great, but anyone who cares is going to go for a non-mobile graphics tablet which is presumably cheaper, or need color.

Don't get me wrong, I'm excited to see more note-oriented tablets, but unless this thing is $300, who really is going to care?

As a note Asus... Gorilla glass please
