ASUS gets official with swivel-screen multitouch Eee PC T101MT
Thanks to the oh-so-revealing pages of the FCC, we already knew that ASUS had yet another multitouch-enabled Eee PC in the works, but there’s just nothing quite like the satisfaction of seeing an official portal launched to celebrate the reality of being. The Eee PC T101MT is a swivel-screen netvertible that packs a 10.1-inch resistive multitouch display (1,024 x 600), Windows 7, up to 2GB of DDR2 memory, Bluetooth 2.1+EDR, 802.11b/g/n WiFi, a 160GB or 320GB hard drive, 0.3 megapixel webcam and a 6.5 hour battery. You’ll also get a VGA output, a trio of USB 2.0 sockets, Ethernet audio in / out, an SD / SDHC / SDXC card reader (nice!) 500GB of internet-accessible ASUS WebStorage and your choice of white or black. Per usual, there’s nary of a mention of a price or release date just yet, but you can check out what fun awaits you in the demonstration video just past the break.

Camangi Webstation drops to $275, still a tough sell
Is it all the unfavorable reviews or the loads of Android tablets on the way that’s pushed Camangi to lower the price on its 7-inch Android running-Webstation? We may never know, but the good news is that the original $399 price has been slashed to $275. The $125 price drop isn’t too shabby, but we’re thinking they’d have better luck selling this one if there were less complaints about its sluggish performance and buggy resistive touchscreen. Perhaps we’re just being too stingy with our money — will you be going shopping this weekend?

Wacom Cintiq 21UX multitouch tablet caught in the wilderness of a live presentation
Oh you’re tired of tablets, are you? Pray tell, how many multitouch 21.3-inch tablets have you seen so far then? A prototype of Wacom’s update to the ultra-high end 21UX has been shown off at a recent CAD presentation, so we figured we might as well take a look at the thing — given its predecessor’s $2,999 starting price, we’re unlikely to be buying one any time soon. So dive past the break for a glimpse — just a glimpse — of the new multitouch goodness taking place. After you’re done with that, you can check out the source link for more pictures of what’s sure to be the new state of the art in graphics tablets.

Bill Gates thinks the iPad needs a keyboard, Disney CEO loves it as it is
Here, finally, is one point on which the two giants of computing, Steve Jobs and Bill Gates, completely disagree on. Steve says netbooks are better at nothing, whereas Bill’s view is the polar opposite:
“You know, I’m a big believer in touch and digital reading, but I still think that some mixture of voice, the pen and a real keyboard – in other words a netbook – will be the mainstream on that.”
Unimpressed by the iPad, Bill goes on to say that he considers it a “nice reader,” but not something that made him wish Microsoft had done it first. Don’t tell that to Disney CEO Robert Iger though, who brings out the dreaded “game changer” tag when describing the potential he sees in the iPad for the creation of “essentially new forms of content.” Lest we forget, Steve Jobs also sits on the Disney board, so this could be just a friendly tip of the hat by Iger. Either way, we’re curious to see what new content Disney might scratch up, as well as to find out who’s right in this newfound binary question: keyboard-equipped netbooks or longevous, ultrathin tablets — what say you?

Touchy Remix is the multitouch table you could actually use
Remember when those Microsoft Surface-based tables were all the rage? Yeah, those were the days. Fast forward to today, and you’ll probably realize that those things never really took off save for the in luxury yacht market, and while cost was obviously a problem, the overall design never really helped, either. You see, most of the ones we saw were in the shape of a box, which made them exceedingly difficult to sit at and use for an extended period of time. The Touchy Remix, however, solves that issue entirely and creates an alternative that can easily be used by multiple persons who are seated comfortably. German artist Janis Pönisch is responsible for the design here, and the fiberglass shell ensures that the whole thing remains nimble and easy to relocate. There’s no mention of a mass commercialization date, but here’s hoping this thing hits our local Pottery Barn on the double — multi-player, multitouch Galaga, anyone?
Update: Turns out these things are already out and about, with one particular tipster noting that they have a few in his London-based running Vortex software.
Update II: SOCO, the Amsterdam-based creator, pinged us with a few more details. Currently, IntactLab is the only distributor (though more are hopefully on the way), and the unit ships with OS X (or Windows 7, if you prefer) loaded on. Multitouch software is provided by IntactLab, and the aforesaid bar added on their own additional software for that given scenario. You can find a product specification sheet here (warning: PDF).

ASUS planning a ‘killer product’ for June, Eee Pad noise grows louder
ASUS CEO Jonney Shih has been speaking on the subject of the now finalized Pegatron spin-off and delivered a couple of teasing tidbits of info about the company’s future direction. Naturally, most interest will be piqued by the “killer product” he has said is coming in June, but Jonney also mentions his company’s intent to be “another Apple” — only with a focus on open source — and he specifically points out ARM and Google as a preferred hardware / software combination, while obviously not ruling out Wintel offerings where the market demands it. Taken as a whole, his words mesh perfectly with what we’ve heard of the Eee Pad so far, namely that it’ll be powered by NVIDIA’s Tegra 2 (which utilizes ARM CPUs), probably run Android, and arrive in early June. We still don’t know whether that sub-$500 price will hold, but it’s good to put a bit of CEO-level meat on those rumor bones anyway.

Panasonic’s Toughbook H1 Field makes pansies of those other tablets
Yeah, 2010 may be the (second) year of the tablet, but we’re guessing that Sir Destiny didn’t exactly see this coming down the pike. Panasonic just introduced its newest Toughbook in the H1 Field, and we’re in no position to argue the “world’s most rugged handheld tablet computer” claim. Classified as an “ultramobile rugged” device, this one’s designed with outdoor use in mind, weighing just 3.4 pounds but able to meet IP65 and MIL-STD-810 standards. In layman’s terms, it can shrug off a six foot drop, and the twin hot-swappable batteries ensure that it’ll keep going and going (and going). Internally, you’re looking at a 1.86GHz Atom Z540 CPU, 2GB of RAM, a 64GB reinforced SSD, 10.4-inch sunlight-viewable XGA touch panel, an optional Gobi 2000 (EV-DO / HSPA) WWAN module, 802.11a/b/g/n WiFi, Bluetooth 2.1+EDR, GPS, a 2 megapixel camera and an RFID reader. Head on past the break for the full release, but don’t get too excited just yet — it’ll set you back at least $3,379 when it crashes down (and survives) next month.
