The device will be called the Eee Pad, will run on Intel or ARM chips, and use Microsoft's Windows operating system. 'The Eee Pad can display Adobe Flash for the full web experience, has a USB port and a camera,' Asus Chairman Jonney Shih said. Asus did not release pricing details or a potential release date, and did not provide further details on the format or a launch date for the new app store."

Except that the T91 has a slow as hell processor, only 16GB of flash which will likely be almost entirely eaten up by Windows, has a resistive touchscreen rather than a capacitive one... and i highly doubt it's multi-touch being that it's a resistive touchscreen (ie requires pressure).
Just not my idea of a good Windows tablet. It should have at least 32GB, use a capacitive screen, and a snappy CPU.
