Actually, I do think that Asus is abit late here, when we see so many companies launching their own version of the Android tablets. Jerry Shen, company president of Asus, stated that starting in December, ASUS will begin launching tablets in 7-, 9-, 10-, and 12-inch form factors. Gosh, that’s many! Do you need that many to kill Apple’s iPad, Asus?

The 12-inch model will run Windows on an Intel chipset and be ready for purchase in January. Of interest, Mr Shen says that Microsoft assisted in the development by making several enhancements to related technologies including touch control and the user interface. So, that means we’ll be seeing heavily customized Windows 7 for Slates. In March ASUS will launch a pair of 7 inchers (one with WiFi and the other with “3.5G” and phone functions) and another pair of 9-inch tablets (an ARM-based Tegra 2 model running Android and another Wintel tablet) with a price gap of $100.
