Oh Asus, why so sly? Would it really be so bad to come out and say, "Hey, we're launching an awesome tablet this summer that will run circles around Apple's iPad,"? Instead, Asus chairman Jonney Shih says everyone will have to wait until June for the company's "killer product."
Shih also said his company wants to become another Apple, so perhaps that's the reason for the hush-hush approach, even if everyone already has a pretty good idea what the secret is. If you recall, Apple used the same ploy with its iPad, going so far as to deny at times that it was working on a tablet.
So what exactly can we expect from Asus come June? Unofficially, you're probably looking at the Eee Pad. Past and present speculation suggests the Eee Pad will tap into Nvidia's Tegra 2 technology and will likely run on Android. Initial rumors had the Eee Pad shipping for under $500, but like everything else we know about Asus' upcoming "killer product," that too remains to be seen.
