Asus has demonstrated its new EEE tablet at Computex, showing off a device that takes input from a stylus, something that’s increasingly rare in the tablet market.

The new device is a far cry from some of the concept images...

For the moment, there’s relatively little information about the whole affair, but what we do know is very interesting indeed. According to the folks at TrustedReviews, the EEE tablet has a touch resolution 2450 DPI display and should give users the ability to take notes on top of anything they happen to be reading. Of course, the big let-down for many will be the fact that the device boasts an E-ink display, rather than a full-colour affair, making it something of a cross between an ebook reader and a full-on tablet.

If Asus is to be believed, writing on the device feels very much like writing on a piece of paper, which should mean that users can take notes in a fairly natural fashion. That much alone might mean that the device is more suited to use by students than Amazon’s Kindle DX, which has been less well appreciated than expected by the student crowd, largely for the inability to take notes.

The battery life is helped by the fact that the display is a low-powered affair, so the EEE tablet should last around ten hours at a time, and users can sync their notes between the device and a PC by USB or by copying directly from the device’s MicroSD card.

The big question will be whether or not users will accept a tablet device with an e-ink display that bills itself as something more than an ebook reader, especially considering the fact that Sony’s Reader line of ebook readers boast some similar touch-screen annotation features, albeit at lower resolutions.
