Asus to release Eee Tablet with Linux in October for $300

"Asustek Computer plans to launch its long awaited Eee Tablet with an 8-inch LCD touchscreen in October for around $300, though prices vary by market.

"It was rumored the device would be the first major, non-handset Android product from Asustek and that it might compete with Apple's iPad.

"But neither of those things are the case. The Eee Tablet may rival Amazon's Kindle in the e-reader market, but it does not use digital ink or specialized e-reader screens that give e-readers their long battery life."
