ASUS EP101TC (Now) Shipping with Android in Q1 2011

Today the Netbook News team went down to the ASUS headquarters to hang out with the Eee Pad team, and we learned something that actually made us breath a sigh of relief. The EP101TC pad will dropping Windows CE and will be shipped with Android. Rather than running an outdated Windows CE, ASUS and the majority of tablet manufacturers will be relying on Google’s Operating System. There is no further insight in Android 3.0 or Gingerbread but we have to admit we are pretty curious to find out what happens in the Fall. ASUS is planning on waiting for the 3.0 dust to settle and launch in Q1 of 2011 with products on display at CES. If you just can’t wait until January, you might be able to grab a sneak peak with some telcos as they will be delivering the good first to them in December.

You need to crack open the dictionary and look up the word “now”. Nothing is shipping now. There is some vaporware that may ship in 2011, unless Asus changes its mind yet again.

So “Now Shipping” means “Not Shipping Yet?” You should really learn not to flat-out lie in your headline.

well nicole might have screwed up the title a little bit (well actually she clears it up in the article)but actually you should look up the definition of vaporware. This isn't duke nukem forever, this is a product which we saw already during computex in june and if you are following the industry a little bit (which somehow i am expecting from guys leaving any “vaporware” comments)you would know that NVIDIA isn't shipping Tegra 2 before the end of this year.

If you really felt deceived by the headline, you've probably got bigger problems than this (starting with reading comprehension). It was pretty clear after reading the post what the author meant.

Besides, we all know you jut saw the link from daringfireball, same as everyone else, and just wanted to parrot Gruber's comment. Simmer down, Gruber's snarks are much better.

The headline plainly says “now.” It is not now. Maybe someone needs English lessons, or more likely, needs to write more honest headlines. Not shipping now. Said to be shipping in the new year. That's not too hard, is it?

When Microsoft had nothing but a few videos of a supposed product named “Courier,” it was always shown in close proximity to the iPad launch. Lots of commenters on lots of sites said how superior this was to the already-demoed iPad. After the launch, the product was cancelled. Lots of people were disappointed.

Many, many people hate Apple for its secrecy. Okay. But the pre-announcement of things that never get shipped, and really seemed to be just tactical announcements to keep people from buying Thing A while they wait for Thing B, is really objectionable too.

Rather than. Not rather then. That's not the first or the last grammar error in this short article. Yikes.

“How about ASUS EP101TC Instead Shipping with Android in Q1 2011″

Sure hope they changed to Android a long time ago because 6 mo or so is not much time to make a usable product.

Sad. Defending a crappy article with so much grammatical errors. But since this is a blog, I forgive you.

Oh and what about: “Steve Ballmer believed to be throwing chairs in ASUS' general direction”?

Nicole Scott's use of English is so peculiar that I suspect it isn't her native language.

As a professional copy editor I have mixed feelings about this: I don't mind idiosyncratic expression if it adds character to writing; but when it obscures meaning, as in Ms Scott's case, then it's time to sharpen the editorial pencil, or send Ms Scott to a remedial English class, or both.

Sadder, yet: “…with so much grammatical errors.” Maybe you meant “…with so many grammatical errors.” That, or you were just being snarky?

Why do I suspect that the final shipping product will have lots of extra buttons and doo-dads on it, like an Android phone, rather than the clean Photoshopped lines shown above?

What are you on about?? The title of the article is blatantly false. Why lie in the title and clear it up in the article? (Doesn't really clear anything up in the article anyway)
