Asus Eee Pad - Unofficial FansiteIMPORTANT - Check our blog because that's where we are adding daily Eee Pad news and deals! Read about the new Eee Pad Transformer Prime TF201 and 3G Transformer Eee Pad. January 9, 2012 - Update: There is a lot of misinformation out there right now. It's understandable considering all the various Eee Pad models, but still. Please let the dust settle before making assumptions about these recent Eee Pad release announcements. As an example, websites are incorrectly indicating the Eee Pad MeMO 370 as coming with a Snapdragon processor. No, in fact it's coming with a Tegra 3 processor. The confusion is about whether or not there are 2 Eee Pad MeMO models coming. You can trust our coverage and if it's rumor, we state that it rumor based information. Right now you have Nicole Scott from NetbookNews.com reporting that Asus has ditched the MeMIC headset and the stylus from the MeMO. However, Engadget clearly reports that there are 2 different Eee Pad MeMO models. One being the original and much demoed MeMO and the newer stripped down MeMO. So what exactly is going on then? Breaking news! There are 2 Eee Pad MeMO models coming! That rumored 7-inch Eee Pad? It's the Asus MeMO 370T model and we're just getting a page together. Read our blog post here. We have a new page we're creating for the MeMO 370T. The original MeMO ME173 is now known to be the MeMO ME171 and we have updates on our blog here. Also there is a updated Asus Transformer Prime, the TF700T coming in Q2 of 2012. Read our blog post here. January 4, 2012 - Another teaser photo has been released of this 7-inch Eee Pad. The photo show the back which features a camera, a couple buttons (possibly volume), and what appears to be two speakers with grill cloth. So could that photo from January 2 really be a remodeled Eee Pad MeMO? It's possible, but it's all speculation at this point. I question how it can be the Memo based on the fact the stylus was a big part of the MeMO. It's also hard to imagine how a new unknown Eee Pad could have made it so far into production without some rumors.
January 2, 2012 - The CES 2012 is just about a week away and Asus is creating a buzz again. We are hearing about a budget $299 7-inch Eee Pad. In fact Notebook Italia has leaked a photo. Rumors are abound and we are suspecting an Asus Eee Pad EP70 model which could go up against the Amazon Kindle and B&N Nook Tablet. However, the EP71 was originally the model for the MeMO so would a different 7-inch Eee Pad use the EP80 or EP81? Now the MeMO uses the ME173 description so who knows what Asus will do with a new 7-inch Eee Pad. People are suggesting it's the Eee Pad MeMO or a 7-inch Eee Pad Transformer Prime. We are suspecting it's a cheap 7-inch Eee Pad.
December 7, 2011 - Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime Pre-Order status has seemingly gone away. We are updating as pre-orders become available. Due to limited supply, it appears that pre-orders in USA have currently ceased. Stay tuned!

We're adding content as more details are released in the days leading up to May 30, 2011 which is the day of the Asus unveiling at Computex 2011. Breaking news today at 1pm EST! Is the new Eee Pad tablet going to be the Asus Eee Padfone? Seems like the PadFone may be an Asus branded phone that docks in various Eee Pad models like the Slider and or Memo. Is the PadFone an Eee Pad accessory? We don't know if there is another member of the Eee Pad family coming but Asus does have a "never before seen" tablet coming up on May 30, 2011. April 18, 2011 - Few news tidbits about the Asus Eee Pad Slider. It would appear that the Asus Eee Pad Transformer is indeed coming to North America at the end of April or early May. Although the Amazon.co.uk pre-order shipping date has been pushed to June 1, 2011 it doesn't mean you can't still buy them elsewhere. We are going to post updated Eee Pad Transformer shopping for the UK. March 25, 2011 - Yes the lucky folks in Taiwan got their hands on the Eee Pad Transformer. Ah, but those in the UK only have to wait 5 days for their chance at the Asus Eee Pad Transformer TF101 according to the Asus Facebook page. There is a countdown timer showing 5 days until a UK launch. Lucky you! We've also added some more updated official details of the Eee Pad Transformer. March 21, 2011 - Few news items to excite you with. The Eee Transformer is coming very soon. In fact, it's going to be launching in Taiwan this week! The North American release is said to be early April. There is some debate now if the Eee Transformer is the EP101 (Eee Pad 101) or is it TF101 (Transformer 101). Documents show the use of both labels so nothing is 100%. The Eee Pad Transformer will ship with the new Android 3.0 Honeycomb and with come with 16GB or 32GB storage options. March 19, 2011 - Great news for UK and European shoppers looking for the Eee Pad EP121 which is the 12.1" tablet running Windows OS. Amazon.co.uk just added the EP121 for pre-order. The shipping date is currently set for April 10, 2011. If it's like the release in the USA, you want to get first in line because the EP121 has been trickling out of Amazon.com over the past couple of weeks. Check it out and pre-order now at Amazon.co.uk March 4, 2011 - Jerry Chen from ASUS recently was interviewed at CeBIT 2011 and he had something interesting to say about 3D. He mentioned that Asus was planning on releasing a 3D tablet. So this means a 3D Eee Pad is coming from Asus? Sounds like it. Also remember Asus talked about a "secret weapon" and it's quite likely that this 3D Eee Pad is the weapon. Nothing official about it yet and we don't know if it will be part of the Asus Eee Pad line-up but we suspect it will be. Stay tuned! February 21, 2011 - Once again Amazon.com is showing a temporary price drop on the 12.1" Asus Eee Slate EP121 model. Comes with bluetooth keyboard and case. Currently the 32GB model is on sale for $969.
February 20, 2011 - January 9, 2011 - It's going to be hard to beat Engadget.com and their coverage of the Asus Eee Pad family. They are at CES 2011 and today they posted their hands-on impressions and video. Check it out here. January 5, 2011 - So that was amazing yesterday to hear about the full line-up of Eee Pad models. You overwhealmed? We are a bit. We have been able to update the pages with the most current photos and specs! We are quite surprised and amazed at the Eee Pad offerings. Since when has a company been so bold? I think Asus really pulled this off in amazing fashion. So many varieties and so much innovation. Surely this puts Asus on par with Apple in terms of their abilities to come up with amazing mobile type computing solutions. The only question really is which of these Eee Pads will become the staple or the mainstay. Will they all survive and have their own niche? So which Asus Eee Pad are you most excited about? Let us know in our new poll. We will be launching an Eee Pad help/knowledge base/faq page where you can add a question. If you have an answer for someone else, go for it! We think as an Eee Pad resource we should be able to provide resources like answering Eee Pad questions that you might have. Instead of doing this via a contact us form, why not have the questions and answers for all to see? We hope you like it and we will launch it in the next day or two. January 4, 2011 - Well we know now how this Eee Pad will look from Asus. The EP121 is not an Eee Pad at all now. It's actually the Eee Slate instead. We're not sure what to do about covering it on this site now. It's not an Eee Pad and this is an Eee Pad fansite. Hmm. So what we have is the Eee Pad Transformer, Eee Pad Slider and Eee Pad Memo. That looks like three unique and interesting Eee Pads to review and discover over the next few months until their release. Stay tuned as we update with more details!
December 29, 2010 - Wow! Here is our New Years surprise from Asus! Just announced are the following Eee Pad models: EP71, EP101, EP102, EP121. Just launching pages for each of these Eee Pad models EP71 and EP102. Exciting news for sure! Hang on though, did Asus mean to release these details or was there a mistake made? The reality is, the cat is out of the bag. What's interesting is that these new Eee Pad models were even announced. Afterall, CES 2011 is a week away. So we ask, was this leak a mistake or intentional? It would seem there were 2 different Asus Eee Pad teaser videos released from Asus last week. One has shown up, only briefly, which showed these Eee Pad models: EP71, EP101, EP102, and EP121.
December 27, 2010 - A few more detail about the Asus Eee Pad models that are coming to a store near you in early to mid 2011. Asus will unveil a 7 inch and two 10 inch Eee Pad models at CES 2011. One 10 inch Eee Pad has Windows 7 with Intel's Oak Trail platform, and the other features Nvidia Tegra 2 with Google Android. It's hard to know what these other Eee Pad model numbers will be, but we will keep you posted over the next couple of days because Asus is set to make a big announcement about these upcoming Eee Pad models. December 24, 2010 - Well it's looking like Asus is giving all of us a big juicy Christmas gift one day early. Okay we slightly overstate their gift, but it does appear that Asus is preparing us all for the release of the Eee Pad EP121 which is the 12" Eee Pad model. So check out this preview video officially released by Asus today and enjoy. Also check out and bookmark the official Asus CES 2011 page! Here's the Asus Eee Pad EP121 Review Preview Video:
November 26, 2010 - Yes, Asus has let out a few more details about the upcoming Eee Pad models. Apparently, and this does make sense, that there is going to be a Eee Pad EP701 (our best guess at the model name) which is a 7" Eee Pad. Since there has been some talk of 7" tablets coming to market, obviously Asus wants to have a 7" Eee Pad to compete with the other products out there. It's great news, let's be honest about that. More coming in the next day as we update the site with all the new details! October 5, 2010 - Asus is up to something. We knew it, but now we really know it! Welcome the Eee Pad EP90 annoucement. No, it's not on the market and we don't know when exactly, but it is coming and it's the Asus Eee Pad 9" verion named EP90. Lots more coming up as we learn about this new EeePad. Photo of the newly announced 8.9" Asus Eee Pad EP90
July 26, 2010 - Things got a little bit more interesting with the Asus Eee Pad EP101 model. It's just been announced from Asus that it's going to ship with Android. Remember the annoucement originally mentioned to ship with Microsoft Windows Embedded Compact 7. Other interesting details include the expected Asus EeePad release date. Once CES 2011 rolls out in January, the Eee Pad will see a release shortly thereafter. Of course one never really knows. A lot can happen during that time. In my opinion 2011 sounds like such a long ways away. The landscape of table style computers may have changed completely by that time. Just proves that Apple was way out in front with this one. June 29, 2010 - If you speak English only this video will confuse you! That said, it's a great look at the Eee Pad. It's a brand new video. How the heck did this guy get a model to preview? Connections!
Stunning photo of the Asus EeePad. Expect nothing but the best from Asus.

The official Eee Pad press release from Asus: Stay Connected and Multitask with the Eee Pad The 12" Eee Pad EP121 is a full-featured slate computer that serves as a multimedia player, e-reader, and compact computing device. Powered by a CULV Intel® Core™ 2 Duo processor and the Windows® 7 Home Premium operating system, it effortlessly handles multitasking tasks whether enabling users to check their email and calendars, have video conferences, or process Microsoft Word and Excel documents simultaneously. The ASUS Eee Pad EP121 offers two convenient modes of character input-an embedded virtual keyboard or an innovative hybrid keyboard/docking station design. All of this power is available in a personal computing device that delivers up to 10 hours of usage. For users seeking additional mobility, ASUS is proud to present the 10'' Eee Pad EP101TC that runs Windows Embedded Compact 7, which provides an engaging user experience and delivers instant connectivity to the Windows world. It also provides a familiar full-featured user experience across various connected devices and cloud computing services.
May 25, 2010 - The news for the EeePad keep on heating up as we near Computex. The CEO of Asus is confirmed to be announcing the Eee Pad at Computex which starts June 10. However, just today there are unconfirmed reports that Asus will be announcing the Asus EeePad on May 31, 2010. This is great news! What we do know as of today is that it will feature a 10 inch display running Windows OS with an Atom processor. A second version of the EeePad will feature Google's Android or Google Chrome OS along with the Nvidia Tegra graphics processor. The differences will be battery life and power. Obviously the Windows version will be more power hungry but will likely be the faster Eee Pad. The Android/Chrome and Tegra version of the Eee Pad will be more power effecient. The rumoured price is expected to be around $500 US for the Windows version. Release date in July 2010 is the latest rumour. May 20, 2010 - There are strong indications that Asus will in fact showcase their Eee Pad (EeePad) at Computex Taipei. It sounds like there will be two different versions of the EeePad available. One with Windows 7 operating system and another running Google Android operating system. It seems that cloud computing is key in the release of the Eee Pad which means it won't be released anytime in the immediate near future. Of course come back to visit with the upcoming exciting news release and the definite photos and videos of this mysterious Asus EeePad tablet. May 16, 2010 - The EeePad is rumoured to be making an appearance at Computex in June. A likely release will be this summer, possibly in July. It will have Tegra 2 from Nvidia which means amazing video capabilities without draining the battery. It will have an ARM CPU and 3g connectivity. Expect solid confirmation on details along with the usually mass marketing of high definition EeePad photos to be coming out any week or day now. I've believed that Asus is going to be the next Apple. They have the innovation and the quality to make a serious run at being the next big thing in the technology sector. Just like Apple, except much more reasonable pricing. I think the EeePad will prove their ability to keep up and exceed the consumers expectations.
January 20, 2010 - The news of an Asus Eee Pad has hit the web! Reported by Digitimes, the Eee Pad is reported to be making an apperance later in Computex Taipei 2010. Although prices change often, the rumor is that the Eee Pad will cost around $500. The next question you may have is what exactly is the Eee Pad? It's possible that this video below is actually a sneak peak of the Eee Pad at CES 2010.
Look at CES 2010 and what was happening there. There was somewhat of a tablet PC revolution of sorts. Call them slates if you will. It's similar to the eReader device, except they have more PC type qualities. Essentially, why would you want to have a device the size of an eReader if you could do more than just read books? I think todays technology and devices need to offer more than a single function. A cell phone has been replaced by the smartphone because why? Simply because a smartphone gives you more abilities and functionality than a cell phone. A cell phone was a one trick pony and that just doesn't cut it in todays tech savy world. People want and expect more. So, we have established the market or desire for the Asus Eee Pad. Asustek is the one company who create some of the best and most innovative portable computing solutions. They essentally created the netbook category of computers with their Eee PC line. So it shouldn't be surprising then that Asus has created an Eee Pad.
The Asus Eee Pad Made An Appearance at CES 2010?
Because there is only a news release, a rumour if you prefer, you can let your imagination run wild on this one. Here is my take. It will be a slate, a tablet style pc, similar to the eReaders of today. Touchscreen functionality of course! Now here is what was mentioned in the press release. The Asus EeePad will be powered by Nvidia Tegra. What is Tegra? Let's say it's a processor that specializes in minimal power requirements. When Nvidia created Tegra, they wanted to start at zero power, and move slowly, but always focusing on keeping the power requirements to an absolute minimum. The end result was Tegra which allows for 1080p video and video game capabilities that are even with the Xbox 360 or Playstation 3. Imagine all that with a device that has shocking battery life. Welcome to the world of Eee Pad. Our site is obviously a work in progress. Check back with us as we develop new content and news. As Asus Eee Pad news coming out, we will post it here and we will allow you to have your say on the EeePad news and developments. We are not associated or affiliated in anyway with Asustek. We are fans of Asus products. We think the Eee Pad will do the same for the tablet / slate market as the Eee PC did for the netbook market. Our prediction? The Asus Eee Pad will revolutionize the tablet and slate computer market.
