Touchscreen Netbook Asus EEE PC T91 tablet

One of the best new gadgets announced at tech show CES, is the Touchscreen Netbook Asus Eee PC tablet netbook T91.

The Eee PC T91 convertible tablet is a tiny netbook with a swivelling screen that can be used in standard laptop orientation, as well as in touchscreen tablet mode. The display can be twisted 180 degrees and folded flat against the keyboard, making it slightly reminiscent of a giant iPhone (or the apple netbook we were hoping for!)

The swivelling display houses an 8.9-inch panel that can recognise multi-touch gesture user inputs. On initial inspection, it looks like an ordinary netbook, but when you get bored of using the machine in standard laptop mode, you can twist the screen into tablet mode where you can perform two-finger gestures such as pinching, stretching, scrolling and twisting, in order to manipulate media without using a keyboard or mouse.

Inside the ridiculously attractive white chassis is an Intel Z520 CPU, 1GB of RAM, Windows XP Home, a 160GB hard drive, integrated WiMax, 802.11n, a GPS sat-nav chip and a TV tuner.

We want one!

Quanta already builds netbooks for a number of companies including Acer, Lenovo, HP and BenQ but its vice chairman and president C.C. Leung is preparing for the worse expecting zero growth year on year as even the red hot Netbook segment isn't spared by the global recession.

The company is expected to sell 37 million units in 2008 and enrolling Sony and Apple could be crucial if Quanta wants to smash these shipment figures by next year.

Sony and Apple are the only two remaining popular notebook manufacturers that have yet to launch Netbooks.

Quanta is a major partner for Apple having manufactured everything from iPods, iPhones, Apple iMac and Macbooks for the technology company.

What's more interesting, given that Macworld expo is coming up soon, is that a Apple is talking to OEM in Asia to produce either a device with a 7-inch or a 9-inch screen which will interact seamlessly with iTunes App store and almost certainly be Apple's answer to the Netbook tidal wave. In otherwords, an ipod Touch but bigger and better.

We reckon it could look like this:

Intel Atom netbook processor
1gb ram
32gb SSD storage
Touchscreen
7" or 9"
Handwriting recognition.
£499 (well, its Apple and its bound to be more expensive than a cheap netbook).

Apple Touchscreen Netbook?

We are sooooo excited!
