Asus Linux-based Eee Tablet to cost �190

"Asus plans to launch its long awaited Eee Tablet with an 8-inch LCD touchscreen in October for around $300 (£190), though prices vary by market.

"It was rumoured the device would be the first major, non-handset Google Android product from Asus 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 specialised e-reader screens that give e-readers their long battery life."
