ASUS teased us by revealing more about its upcoming Eee Pad line of tablet computers in a video featuring Chairman Jonney Shih. And i do mean teased. The company tweeted a link to the video, but it has since been removed from YouTube. The video confirmed some of the specs for the 12-inch EP121 and 10-inch EP101.

There was also another 10-inch tablet shown with a sliding keyboard, called the EP102. The video also teased us with a first glimpse of a smaller tablet called the EP71, of which we have no details.

The PocketBook IQ 701 and the 602 e-readers are now available to us yanks in the U.S. The Pocketbook IQ 701 sports a 7-inch LCD screen, a 1600mAh battery, the Google Android 2.0 OS, a USB port, a headphone jack, WiFi, an SD card slot and a 533MHz processor.

The Pocketbook 602 features an e-ink display, WiFi, Bluetooth, 2GB of internal storage and a micro SDHC card slot. If you are interested, the PocketBook IQ 701 and 602 Android-powered tablets are priced at $150 and $170.

This week at CEATEC, Fujitsu demonstrated two portable tablets running on Windows 7. The pair are prototypes for the moment, so sadly no specs were revealed. The company also showed off a Design Concept flip phone, which sported dual touchscreens that can rotate to offer a landscape view.

The handset was preloaded with Fujitsu’s proprietary OS, which could hold it back big time if or when it’s launched since the apps market isn’t likely to be capable of competing with the Android Market or iTunes store.

HP has already announced that the company won’t be launching any Windows Phone 7 devices that would use Microsoft’s mobile OS and now today the company says that they will also be killing plans for Android devices from the company’s lineup.

HP will turn it’s focus on its own webOS mobile operating system instead, taking advantage of its acquisition of Palm. The one exemption to this new mandate seems to be the HP Photosmart eStation printer, which features an integrated Android tablet.

Now Verizon’s intentions to roll out LTE service to NFL cities makes sense. The NFL, which has favored Sprint for cellular distribution of content, is apparently talking to Verizon in order to get its content into more hands. The league is apparently contemplating the decision to distribute games on tablets.

Brian Rolapp, the NFL’s senior vice president of media strategy said: “The NFL will be on a tablet. It’s a question of what shape or form. We are currently talking to Verizon about it.” VZW did not comment.

Sharp missed out on the Tablet wars and are instead focusing on an eBook reader. Their new Galapagos e-reading tablets will hit stores in December and there are two models available. One has a 5.5-inch LCD screen with a 1024 x 600 resolution while the second is larger with a 10.8-inch display featuring a 1366 x 800 pixel resolution.

They also have a track ball for navigation that you can use like a PC mouse and can flip the pages. Both are loaded with Wi-Fi and are heading to the Japanese market. Hopefully they will hit the US soon as well.

If you happen to be at a Best Buy today, you’ll find just one tablet for sale: Apple’s iPad. But when this holiday season comes around, that will all change. According to Shawn Score, president of Best Buy Mobile, the company will be focusing on tablets during this years holidays.

He says that “Like e-readers over the last couple years, we think customers will think of Best Buy for tablets and expect us to have the right ones.” He didn’t confirm any models or brands, but we pretty much know which tablets to look out for.

Acer is still in the Android game. They have some android handsets, a 7-inch tablet that might be released later this year and possibly two netbooks coming soon. Now it looks like there’s also a 10-inch Android 2.2 tablet coming in the fourth quarter of this year along with the 7-inch model.

DigiTimes claims to have spoken with “sources from notebook players” who say that the tablets will be powered by ARM chipsets and will have a stronger focus on multimedia and entertainment. Acer is also apparently working with some carriers to support the tablets.

Velocity Micro just launched two new tablets that run Google’s Android OS, the Cruz Tablet and Cruz Reader. The Cruz Reader is the more affordable of the two and features a 7 inch touchscreen display, support for Adobe Flash 10.1, plus an 800MHZ processor and an SD card Slot.

The Cruz Tablet also features a 7 inch Touchscreen display, with support for Adobe Flash 10.1, and a 7800MHz processor with an SD card slot. The Cruz Tablet has a front facing two megapixel web camera and a docking station. Both models can use applications from the ‘Cruz Market’ in addition to the Google Android Market.

Toshiba America’s Jeff Barney confirmed awhile ago that there was a tablet coming from the company in early 2011. Now Jeff has given some more information to Reuters. He says that there won’t be just one, but at least two of them and they’ll be out before the year is through. The first will be a premium model running Windows 7, about 10 inches in size and with two screens.

The second runs Android at a lower price. Nothing further on specs. Both are for “media consumption” according to Barney. He sees slates as “expansive like netbooks.” You can take that to mean that they won’t take away from the company’s laptop business.

Toshiba wants a slice of the tablet market just like everybody else, so it will be rolling out its own line of tablets to compete with the iPad. The company thinks the line will arrive sometime later this year, or early 2011 if that doesn’t work out.

Toshiba isn’t entirely new to the tablet market. They had previously rolled out the Journe Touch in Europe last year. No word on what OS Toshiba’s new tablets will run, but our guess would be windows. It’s also way too early to talk price.

Toshiba brings us word today of its first Tablet PC to incorporate a touchscreen LED backlight display. The new Portégé M700 starts with a base configuration price of around $1,450.

The Toshiba Portégé M700 offers up a 12.1-inch WXGA display which the company says offers 30 more percent detail than a standard 12.1-inch display. The incorporated LED backlight display and associated anti-glare coating let one view it in a wider variety of settings both inside and out. Being a Tablet PC the Portégé M700 supports both fingertip input capabilities and traditional pen-based input, detecting and automatically switching between the different input methods as needed.
