Asus could unveil 7-inch tablet at CES next week

From CNET News.com: Asus may pull the curtain back to reveal a new 7-inch Android tablet next week at CES, but just which one remains a mystery.

Leaking a few details and a possible image of the prospective tablet, Italian tech news site Notebook Italia (English translation) said that Asus plans to unveil a $299 7-inch tablet.

Dubbed the Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime Mini 7, the new tablet would follow the company's recently launched 10-inch Transformer Prime. The 10-inch version can move beyond its tablet roots with the addition of a physical keyboard dock. Its 7-inch cousin should offer a similar keyboard dock, according to Notebook Italia, though one smaller and likely less comfortable.

But the Italian site also claims the scoop on news that Asus could finally release a refreshed version of its Eee Memo Pad.

First announced at last year's CES, the Memo will offer a 7-inch 1,280x800-pixel capacitive screen and likely come with Android Honeycomb. Powered by a Qualcomm 1.2GHz dual-core Snapdragron processor, the tablet will provide anywhere from 16 to 64 gigabytes of internal storage and come with both Wi-Fi and 3G connectivity.
