ASUS may have already unleashed 3 Honeycomb-toting tablets at this year’s CES, but according to reports, the company is also planning to release a 3D slate with 4 times the speed of its earlier efforts.
According to Hi-Tech, who spoke to ASUS’ CEO Jerry Chen, the Taiwanese manufacturer is currently working on a 3D devices powered by NVIDIA’s upcoming quad-core CPU. Like the LG Optimus Pad, it’s expected to boast both a three-dimensional display and stereoscopic cameras, alongside Android 3.0 OS. Chen failed to mention the handset’s pricing or release date, although it’s expected to launch later this year.
As for the company’s smartphone plans, Chen revealed that all ASUS’ 2011 releases will run Google‘s Android OS. So, it looks like the Windows Phone 7-equipped ASUS E600 has been scrapped, then.
