Although Asus' tablet devices were announced quite some time ago, news concerning these gadgets have been really scarce lately, although a recent report claims the Taiwanese company will release a tablet called EP90 that will be built on top of a Tegra 2 platform.

According to the report brought to our attention by a Israeli newspaper, the new EP90 will feature a 1024x600 resolution 8.9 inch touchscreen, dual-core Tegra 2 processor as well as 8GB, 16GB or 32GB of storage space (Asus also adding 500GB of cloud-based storage to the bundle).

Moving on, the 650g tablet will also feature WiFi, Bluetooth and 3G connectivity, along with HDMI and USB ports, a 3.5 inch headphone jack, GPS, and a SD/SDHC memory card reader, as well as a front-facing 0.3MP webcamera dedicated to video conferencing.

Not many other details are available at this time, although we do know users will get between 4 and 6 hours of battery life from the EP90, a bit too low if you ask me.

The article doesn't go into much details when it comes to the operating system used by Asus on the EP90, stating only that it will “run Microsoft’s Office suite,” so, if we were to take this literally, it will use a Windows based OS, Windows CE and Windows Mobile being the only two Microsoft OSs available for ARM processors right now, Windows Embedded Compact 7 being scheduled to be released in Q4 2010.

Unfortunately, no other details regarding availability are known at this time, but Asus should hurry up with these since we have been waiting long enough for them do deliver on their promises. (ynet via slashgear
