The tablets will be powered by Android 3.1 (upgradeable to 3.2) and will come in brown and white colors. There will be a $400 (USD), 16GB version and a $500, 32 GB version. Both will have a multitouch 10.1-inch WXGA screen (1280×800) with a dual-core Tegra processor. They will offer 802.11/b/g/n and Bluetooth V2.1+EDR connectivity, as well as USB and Mini HDMI connectors.  There’s also 1.2MP front-facing camera and a 5MP rear-facing one. In addition, expect a G-sensor, light sensor, gyroscope, compass and GPS to be built-in as well.

Once the reviews are in, we’ll know if this is something that’s going to work. Obviously, a lot of people are using keyboards with their tablets already. This might cut down a bit on the weight of carrying a separate keyboard. Or you could just use a netbook.

Check out the full specs over on the Asus website.

The badly named “COOLi902″ looks just like a fat iPhone when closed, but the back slides open to reveal a full QWERTY keyboard. The COOLi902 features a dual cameras (one on the front and one on the back), Java support, Wi-Fi connectivity, and an obsolete analog TV tuner too.

It can play MP3 audio, and MP4, 3GP and AVI video files. There’s also a built-in FM radio. Despite the clear “16GB” marking on the back of the COOLi902, there’s only 19.5MB on-board, and a TF slot for up to 4GB of additional storage.

Oh yeah, it also only works on 900/1800MHz GSM phone systems, so if you live in North America, you’re out of luck (or extraordinarily lucky depending on how you look at things). The phone retails for 880 Chinese Yuan (appx. $129 USD), and more details and specs for the COOLi902 are available over at EEMOBI.

Maybe Apple will steal a page from these guys and some day add a full slider and dual camera option for the real iPhone.

Beside looking great, the UM10 is a very capable media player, which can deftly chew through MP4, WMV, MP3, WMA and OGG files with nary a complaint. There’s also a DMB television tuner, FM radio, E-book reader and voice recorder. Not to mention the full-on personal organizer application suite which can sync with Microsoft Outlook. Plus, it’s also got Flash Lite support, so you can take advantage of those slick interfaces and games that Adobe’s flagship web app can crank out.

Oh yeah, it is a robust electronic dictionary too, loaded with dozens of books worth of definitions, synonyms, and other reference information in a variety of languages.

It all comes packaged in a slick black case, with a sliding QWERTY keyboard and beautiful 480 x 272 widescreen TFT display. The keyboard isn’t tactile though, so you’re best off using the stylus to control it. The base models comes with 2GB of RAM, but that’s expandable through a Micro SD memory card slot.

The Atree UM10 retails for 358,000 KRW (about $381 USD), and as is often the case with these types of wondrous gadget, is only available in Korea for now.
