Asus to reveal “killer product” in June20:23 10/02/2010, M@, news, nvidia tegra 2, New Netbook Reviews
It looks like our earlier info leak back in January was correct because Asus Chairman Jonney Shih has just said that the company is preparing a “killer product” to launch in June, probably during the Computex show in Taiwan. He doesn’t give any more details but the rumor is it’s their tablet device (the Eee Pad) that is will sport the Nvidia Tegra 2 chipset and possibly run on the Google Android OS.

The Eee Pad was first spotted at CES 2010 although no specs were detailed. It was simply referred to as the “Asus Tablet Concept” along with a placeholder saying that it is powered by a Nvidia Tegra chip. The news came as Asus announced it will be spinning off its Pegatron manufacturing arm. The device is said to be manufactured by Pegatron and be launched at a sub-$500 price point. If true, the Apple iPad may have even more competition in the second half of this year.

Here’s a look at the tablet at CES:
