Here's a follow-up news post on what we know so far about the new ASUS Eee Pad and Eee Tablet.
We're waiting to get our hands on a review unit soon and hope to bring you an unboxing video shortly after that.
(UPDATE: We spoke to Spectrum Communications, who handle the ASUS account here in Oz, yesterday and they do their best to get us the first units as soon as they land here)

| U-Pointer Mounted |
Any kind of display can become an interactive whiteboard with a U-Pointer - from a PDP, LCD or Rear Projection TV, to a Projector. By mounting the device on a table, ceiling, or rear projection display you can interact with the PC via the display.
