Taiwan-based hardware giant Asus plans to launch a Google Android-powered tablet in March 2011. The 10-inch tablet will sell below $399 said CEO Jerry Shen.The Android model is among the several tablet devices to be launched by the computer maker in the coming several months.
Another tablet device that will have a 12-inch touchscreen and cost around $1,000 will reportedly launch in December or January, CEO said.
Termed Eee Pad EP121, this tablet will be more expensive because it will be able to turn into a laptop computer when hooked up to a docking station that will come with the tablet, according to Shen when asked about the expensive pricing.
Eee Pad EP121 will run Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium operating system with an Intel Core 2 Duo processor.
Asus is also launching another Microsoft-powered tablet EP101TC. The 10-inch tablet will run on Windows Embedded Compact 7 operating system with an ARM CPU processor and 64 GB of storage. It will be priced between $399 and $499.
The company will also be launching a Linux-based e-reader priced at $300 in October.
