ASUS is jumping on the Windows 8 bandwagon with two “convertible” tablets – Vivo Tab and Vivo Tab RT, formerly known as the ASUS Tablet 810 and ASUS Tablet 600 respectively. The first of the two is a “regular” Windows device with a 11.6-inch 1366×768 Super IPS+ display, Next Generation Intel Atom processor, 2GB of RAM, 64GB eMMC, 8-megapixel rear camera with autofocus and LED flash, 2-megapixel front-facing one, Wi-Fi and NFC.
As for the Vivo Tab RT, it gets its power from NVIDIA’s Tegra 3 quad-core processor and 12-core GPU with rest of the specs including 10.1″ display with 1366×768 resolution and Super IPS+ technology, NFC, 2GB of RAM, 32GB of eMMC storage and so on. The tablet has a slim and light profile that’s 8.3mm thin and 520g light.
Alongside the tablet part, users will also be able to buy an optional keyboard dock that effectively transforms tablet into a laptop. Availability and pricing information were not unveiled. As soon as we hear something new on this, we’ll let you know.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
