14 DAY TRIAL // Amidst the many new and old types of products coming out on a regular basis, ASUS decided to slip in one that is less common than most others, the so-called Eee Note.
It seems that ASUS is quite set on offering devices for as many market segments as possible, or at least many enough to give other companies a run for their money.
For instance, the outfit recently previewed or released such things as ultrathin laptops, the so-called Eee Tablet (which is more of an e-reader) and, of course, netbooks and high-end ROG products.
Now, the same hardware and PC supplier has created what it calls the Eee Note EA800 digital Notepad.
Basically, it is a device that allows users to do just that, take notes and save them directly into Flash memory instead of having to carry around stacks of paper or notebooks.
The newcomer has as so-called centerpiece a processor developed by Marvell, or so Digitmes reports.
Said chip will be backed up by 4 GB of memory while the display is a 64-greyscale panel with a native resolution of 1,024 x 600 pixels.
It should be noted that said display has a size of 8 inches in diagonal and support for pen input and a resolution of 2,540dpi.
Furthermore, ASUS made sure to throw in a microSD card slot, so that consumers may add as much storage as they wish, so long as there are memory cards to meet their wish that is.
Other specifications include a 1W speaker, an USB port, 802.11 b/g WiFi.
All the hardware is packed inside a frame measuring 139 x 222.4 x 11 mm and kept operational by a 3,700 mAh battery, which can last for up to 13.5 hours on a single charge.
Taiwan should receive this electronic next month, December 2010, while a 12-inch version is slated for release in January. Their prices are of $300 and $900, respectively.
