Asus has just announced another new mobile product called the Asus Eee Tablet. The tablet features a 2450 dpi touch-sensitive screen, Micro SD, and a 2 MP camera. The device allows the user to create content using the stylus to draw diagrams or take notes, and is also an e-book reader.

The Eee Tablet will feature a media player, as well making it not only appropriate for making making notes, but also for recreation.

It does not appear that the device has WiFi or any other wireless connectivity which puts it in a peculiar spot in the marketplace somewhere between a non-connected ebook reader and a more fully-featured tablet like the iPad and Android devices. If hackable to become an input device for a PC, the Asus Eee Tablet could be a serious competitor to the Wacom Cintiq 12WX digital tablet used by creative professionals.

No word on pricing or availability. Expect more details as Computex progresses.
