Asus might release their Tegra-based Eee Pad Tablet under $500

What rumor should we start today off with? Well, let's start with the one that Asus is expected to unveil their Eee Pad tablet at Computex 2010.

The real news? It's should be in the sub-$500 range.

According to DigiTimes, the new Asus PC tablet will be powered by a Tegra processor, set to be manufactured by Pegatron Technology. But perhaps we won't know anything for sure until the computer expo in Taipei this June.

I'm yet to be sold on the whole tablet business without finding a place in my life where it would really be of use. While we might see Apple's next week, and HP's was less than wow-worthy. Five months or so might be too long to wait.
