I like asus boards, so i'll give it a look if the specs can compete. i don't like the parenting nature of Mr. Jobz

[brilman]

I'd take a look too, didn't see ASUS doing it but I like there laptops

I hope it's not like the stupid iPad without USB port.

What would stop you installing Android? You can do it from a USB, Change the default boot device in BIOS :).

this is why ipad will never die...

[diaoooo]

i love the design, but functionally, it still has a long way to go..

Wonder why they coose CLUV instead of Atom? I thought Intel was coming up with some beefy Atoms that would be good for tablets.

Pioneer have a range too,,,,

I'm not familiar with mobile specs so comparing between a Atom and a CLUV is a struggle for me.

[ridgeberry]

Well I guess I am looking at future Atom vs CLUV. Right now Atom is a lot less performance but lower power than a CLUV which is basically a slower/lower power Core 2 Duo.
If they are going to start shipping now they probably have to go with the CLUV.

LOL, I love that!!!!!!!!

Apple will never die.. For years we have heard the phrase "iPod Killer", "iPod Touch Killer", "iPhone Killer" and more recently "iPad Killer" but in reality, where is the killer?

I, for one, don't need a iPad killer, just a reader with USB, WiFi, decent battery life, and a price that doesn't require a third mortgage. Also, a user replaceable battery! People have given me their iPods because the price of replacing the battery through Apple is ridiculous!

Me? Not much. But the average person won't do that. From a marketing standpoint, I think an Android tablet has more appeal than a Windows tablet.
