Ah, the elusive ASUS Eee PC T101MT, the multitouch convertible 10.1-inch netbook that just refuses to arrive. ASUS have uploaded a new tutorial video to YouTube, demonstrating the T101MT's interface, which certainly seems to suggest that the netbook is on its way. However, somewhat bizarrely we couldn't actually spot any multitouch gestures demonstrated, only single-finger ones.

The company had brought along a prototype they could exclusively show us, and now they’ve sent over renders of what’s likely to be the final Adam design complete with some mockups of a SlashGear digital magazine. And, since Apple’s long-awaited entrant to the tablet arena – the iPad – has since made its debut, we also asked Notion Ink just how Adam holds up to the new competition.

UK firm brazenly debuts iTablet
By Shane McGlaun on Friday, Feb 5th 2010 No CommentsI bet a vein is pulsing on the forehead of Steve Jobs right now in Cupertino. Sure, he and Apple decided to call the long anticipated tablet launched this month the iPad rather than the iTablet, which had been rumored. I would be surprised if Apple doesn’t take offence to the new X2 tablet that has been unveiled.
Update: Several people have pointed out that this appears to be a rebadge of the AMtek T200 iTablet, first spotted back at CeBITin 2007. Check out our hands-on here.

Apple patent suggests iPad bezel touch-controls
By Chris Davies on Wednesday, Feb 3rd 2010 1 CommentThe broad bezel around the iPad’s touchscreen led some to criticize Apple’s industrial design last week, but judging by a recently published patent the Cupertino company may have plans for that empty expanse. A system whereby capacitive touch sensors are embedded in a tablet or digital photo frame screen bezel is described, linked to various contextual controls shown around the edges of the display. That way, the device can have minimal hardware controls on the fascia, and instead make use of dynamically resizable on-screen controls suited to whatever the current application.
