Well, that used to be the way it was. However, with the release of the new Asus Eee Pad EP121, we just may have seen the playing field leveled a little bit. This portable tablet computer that runs windows7 promises a few things that we have not seen in a device of it’s type before, and these promises have a lot of people looking a bit closer to see if the claims could possibly be true.

Both Asus Eee Pad EP101TC and Asus Eee Pad EP121 are offering 10-hour battery life. Just like an Apple iPad, Eee Pad also offering virtual keyboard and a special docking station for the keyboard. There is no doubt that these tools could enable the tablet to handle several tasks at the same time a task that any mobility computing device must be able to withstand in this modern day and age.

With the specially designed touchpad laid out the way it is, it should make for easy internet web browsing. The user interface is supposed to be simple enough, and you will be able to view video or listen to music without jumping through flaming hoops to do so, as was the case with earlier slate-style pads. Need a word processor? This device features a very unique handwriting feature which enhances security, as well as a virtual keyboard and a docking station where you could plug in an external device.

If it sounds like it is too good to be true, do not shrug it off just yet. By all indications, this is the slate that we have been waiting for. The test, however, will really get underway once it reaches the hands of the tech-savvy masses. If it can stand up to the rigors of everyday laptop use, while offering better media than the mobile device, then we might just have a winner in the Asus Eee Pad EP 121. It is going to be a tough fight, but this one just might win out.
