Asus is planning to use Google's Android operating system instead of Microsoft's Windows in its upcoming EeePad EP101TC. Folks at Netbooknews visited Asus headquarters and learned that upcoming Asus EeePad EP101TC would be shipping in the first quarter of next year. So, plans to introduce Windows CE have been dropped and now Asus will stick to Android.
As we had reported earlier, Asus was working on two tablet variants - 10-inch and 12-inch, both powered by Intel Core 2 Duo processor and demonstrated at COMPUTEX 2010 last month. The 10-inch EeePad was shown running Windows CE operating system while the 12-inch version had full Windows 7 Home Premium on it.
Now, apparently Asus has ditched Windows. According to reports, Asus EeePads were spotted with Android 2.2 Froyo update running on it but it's likely that Asus ships them with Gingerbread 3.0 update.
Probably, we'll get to see these EeePads at the CES 2011 that is scheduled in January 2011.
