Closely trailing ASUS’ launch of the Eee Pad compact tablet, MSI displayed its Wind Touch 10.5 inch tablet. Wanting to cash in on the replenished tablet PC segment, Wind Touch, like the Eee Pad, offers the advantage of being powered by the Intel x86 architecture, driven by an Atom processor, and running Windows 7 operating system. While giving you the ability to run all your Windows applications, the tablet has MSI’s own multi-touch enhanced user interface that makes it easy to do all essential tasks. Apart from sporting most common connectivity features such as WiFi, the tablet has a built-in web camera. There is no word on when MSI releases it to the market, though it shouldn’t take very long given consumers’ newfound love for compact tablets.

ASUS displayed its latest creation, the Eee Pad. This 12 inch tablet has sports uncanny resemblance to the Apple iPad, except that it’s x86 powered, and uses Windows 7, with ASUS’ own visually-appealing UI. It can run any Windows application that its hardware allows, which includes Intel Core 2 Duo CULV, and Intel graphics. The UI takes advantage of the multi-touch screen and related abilities of the Windows 7 Home Premium OS it comes bundled with. Other known details include a web-camera, and a battery that is rated to last 10 hours on a full charge. ASUS will also introduce a slightly smaller 10 inch tablet which uses Windows 7 Embedded Compact, a new variant of the OS designed for devices such as these. The two will be out in Q1 2011.
