After seeing the unit get ripped apart by the FCC and go hands on with plenty of people, Asus has just officially announced it via a press release on their site. While the usual marketing mumbo jumbo is present (they are really pushing it by claiming to have 82GB of total* storage space), we are still left without a price or release date. It seems that Asus is trying to push their touch oriented software hard; we’ll see if it is really useful or just shows off the touchscreen, eventually. At least they were kind enough to leave us a nice table of specs, but unfortunately I’m not seeing anything that we didn’t already know about the T91, maybe with the exception of a “well-designed stylus”… I hope they aren’t talking about the same one we saw in a hands on video a few weeks ago. Hopefully the 5 hour battery life statement is accurate (fingers crossed!).

I Still think T1028 is better.
Will be patience waiting for Chippy review of Touchnote T1028X. Shall you, Chippy?

Can anyone confirm this thing can play x264 mkv HD video files without problems. I need this as a UMPC in the car to play media, navigate etc.

It can play x264 mkv HD video files without problems. It depends on software you use.

“Full hardware acceleration of H.264, MPEG2, VC1, and WMV9 is supported, eliminating the need for software decode and off-loading the processor”
from chipset webpage:

but will wait for youtube proof.

I kind of love the Asus Eee PC because it is very small and very light. I have an Acer Laptop and it is really a big burden on my small shoulders ~
