Taiwanese giant Asus has corroborated that it will be offering two models in competition for its contender iPad in the coming months.

In a recent interview, Jonney Shih, the chairman of the company stated that a niche market between smartphones and netbooks is still present and the scope for new products is very much possible and the fist model is scheduled to be launched at Computex in June 2010.

Without revealing much of the details Shih stated that operating systems from both Microsoft and Google will be put in use in the latest model, without hinting whether Asus will glue to the mobile version of Windows (Windows Phone 7 Series) or embrace Windows 7. Either Android or Chrome OS Asus tablets will be made handy in the year.

The netbook saga which started with Asus EEE 900 in 2007, made the competitors fall for new format of laptops, the platform of netbooks - affordable and purpose -solvers. It invited different competitors and it was believed that if competitors didn't change their ways they had might be alienated.

However in case of Asus it appears that it might retain its novelty to EEE brand and may or may not refine the existing EEE hybrid tablet designs - like the T91 or the T101H.
