I know you’re probably conked out on an Adirondack chair with a Blue Moon in your hand by now, but listen up: Asus just announced they’re making a 10- and 13-inch EEE tablet. Welcome back to 2001!

To be fair, this isn’t your granddaddy’s tablet. It has a front webcam, a Core 2 Duo chipset, and a nice bright screen. The rest is pure Comdex 2001 when Bill Gates popped up and got us all excited about tablets the first time.

No pricing or availability, but these should be powerful enough to run a few strong desktop apps, something the iPad still can’t really do.
