You have to hand it to ASUS. It knows how to blow out a hot category. At CES 2011 the company just announced four new tablets, each one targeting a different type of user. You'll find a slider, pure slate, and two keyboard-equipped models (wireless and docking style), as well as pen input options aplenty. Three of these tablets will run Android 3.0 with a proprietary OS Asus calls MyWave, while one will run Windows 7.
