Following my “Asus vs Apple” (it *does not* have to be like that, there’s room for both), here’s something Apple could/should bring in the iMacs: Touchscreens. Instead of making the keyboard smaller and smaller, just get rid of it… In this Interview Teodoro shows us how Asus will bring the Computer in the kitchen. Even more cool is the Asus Eee Keyboard. This is *really* cool and I’m sure lots of people will have that as their main computer very soon. Seriously, it’s enough to do a bunch of things we usually do with computers, and once Utra Wide band will be there, it’s just the perfect media center.

Here’s the second episode of our Asus Interviews serie. In the first episode we saw the Eee Shell but also the 10″ Tablet Eee PC. In this episode we look at the 9″ version, which has built in GPS! We also look at the Eee Box, a tiny computer that fits behind your monitor. Aaah, if only some of that stuffs would run OS X…

I went to CeBIT first and foremost for Asus. Although I’m a MacHead and I just can’t stand Windows, I still recognize when a company is inovating in some areas. Obviously Asus in sometime inspired by Apple, but really, Apple should (and maybe will) be inspired by the Eee story. If you google a bit around, you’ll see that Asustek had something to do with Apple also, in the past. So it’s with a big excitement that I looked forward to the Asus Booth… And boy was I blown away! At first I was a bild cold because the woman in charge of the press was not welcoming us “warm” (you know, “podcasters”…), but then she found us a *very good* “client” (as we say in this case), a very nice italian guy speaking a lot, which is exactly what we love, at Pomcast. Hey BTW thanks to Zhares, our cameraman, which has also done an amazing job on those 2 days at CeBIT (even though I’m the one spending time Editing all those footage…). Ok, so go ahead, this is only the first of a series of 4 (or maybe 5) interviews with Asus. On this one, We look at their new “Sea Shell” and their 10″ Tablet. You can see in the “intro” what you’ll see in the next episodes: The 9″ Tablet, Windows 7 on a netbook, The “Desktop” Eee, the “very very slim” desktop Eee, The amazing Eee Keyboard (yes, my C64 is back…), the very cool Eee Skype Video Phone, and last but not least, the Wireless (!) and USB (!) monitors from Asus…

It’s funny because just before we met Onyx, we actually met another company doing eBook but they wouldn’t let us film the product for whatever reason. Onyx International wouldn’t let us film their face (is the eBook Market so competitive?) but at least they showed us their really cool products, one on video.

At CeBIT we felt a little bit weird, among all those “Cooler, Cases, Motherboard, Gamers, …”. Actually, among all those PCs… And I only do Interview when I feel at least some “Wow” in a product. This one really caught my attention by it’s look first and then by it’s result. Shin Kuo, from PenPower, shows us their brand new Business Card Reader for the Mac.
