EXCLUSIVE : Asus Launches Stealthy EEE Tablet Netbook

For some reasons, Asus's first Netbook Tablet PC did not make the headlines; the EEE PCT T91 is the first portable member of the EEE Family to come with a touchscreen and there's more to it.

Details are quite scant but we know that it comes with a 8.9-inch touchscreen, weighs under 1Kg and offers up to 5 hours worth of battery life. Expect it to come with an Intel Atom CPU, 1GB RAM and a 16GB SSD drive.

The 8.9-inch wonder works like a traditional laptop and can be transformed into a tablet PC simply by rotating the screen.

According to Asus' CeBIT press release, the T91 also comes with HSUPA connectivity, 802.11n WiFi, Bluetooth plus Built-in GPS (a 8.9-inch SatNav?) and, wait for it, a built-in TV and FM Tuner. 

No wonder then that it won the second place in the CeBIT-Preview awards, behind the spectacular EEE PC keyboard.

Asus has also demoed a bigger tablet Netbook called the T101H which comes with a bigger 10-inch touchscreen. The T91H will be available in either black or white.

The T91 also comes with a collection of touch-optimised software called Touchsuite including a customised IE Toolbar, Fotofun (which allows photos to be finger-flicked and edited easily), Memos and 3Doorway.
