New ASUS Eee PC T101 tablet reported?

It seems like the new Asus Eee Pc T101 tablet netbooks models line launch could be pushed back, or even canceled! What's the problem? It looks like the T91 sales aren't going too well, which is not a surprise when you see the prices these netbooks go: who will buy a netbook, even a so-cool one, at the same prices of some very capable true notebooks? Asus should focus on producing fonctionnal AND cheap netbooks. I think you have to stay under the $500 range if you want to reach the netbooks market customers.

Last we had heard, ASUS' Eee PC T101 and T101H tablet still had a place on ASUS' massive Eee PC roadmap, and was on track for a late August / early September release after being pushed back from its original June launch date. According to DigiTimes, however, the device's future now looks to be even more uncertain, with it supposedly set for release this September "at the earliest." Some unspecified "industry sources" further go on to say that that the T101 (and other future ASUS netbook tablets) could either be pushed back further or scaled back on shipments if the company's current Eee PC T91 doesn't meet expectations, or possibly even canceled altogether.
