Also today Asus CEO Jonney Shih said that Asus has plans for 2 tablets this year. One of which will run either the new upcoming Google Chrome OS or a version of Android.  The 2nd will defiantly run a version of Microsoft Windows.  They believe that their upcoming products will appeal to those that don’t want the iPad and want a kind of open source Os that isnt exclusive to any hardware.  He also goes on to say that the Google equipped tablet will have “a lot of media” to stack up against the iPad and other competition.  Asus has rumored to be making the Eee Pad as its first entry into the tablet world.  (via electronista ) Nicholas Tarnowsky Nicholas Tarnowsky is the new contributing smartphone/gadget Editor
