There’s something about miniaturized gadgets that’s very appealing. This new router was unveiled by ASUS at CES 2013, and they claim that it’s the smallest router ever made. They’re probably right, because this thing is tiny.
The ASUS WL-330NUL Pocket Router is about the same size as a USB flash drive, and it’s basically perfect for anyone hitting the road a lot. It weighs about 25 grams, and the 802.11b/g/n router has an Ethernet port on one end to connect to a wired connection, and a USB cable on the other for leeching power from a computer. It can also be plugged into an outlet. For ultra-thin laptops, it doubles as an Ethernet port, because they usually lack them.
Signal range is probably limited with something this small, though, and it might be nice if it had a retractable Ethernet cable built into it. Prices and availability have not yet been announced, but I’m guessing that it will be out a little later this year.

Amongst all of its Windows 8 PCs and tablet announcements at CES, Asus also quietly revealed what it’s boasting as the world’s smallest Wi-Fi router. And with a form factor only slightly larger than a well-equipped flash drive, the WL-330NUL Pocket Router is the perfect accessory for minimalist road warriors. More »
It has been quite some time now that we have covered stories about Google’s Nexus 7 dock, and it is nice to know that with each passing day, the actual realization of holding the Nexus 7 Dock grows closer and closer. In fact, B&H had already begun to accept pre-orders since December last year, and we have reliable information from the good people over at The Verge that this particular Nexus 7 Dock ought to ship to addresses before the month of January is over.
The Asus-manufactured dock for the Nexus 7 will retail for $40 a pop, and it ought to work seamlessly right out of the box with the Nexus 7 considering how Asus is the manufacturer behind both devices. You can opt to plug in a power cable and use the dock as a charging station for your tablet, and I believe that most folks would do just that, turning the $40 Nexus 7 Dock into a glorified stand. Will you be one of those who wants the Nexus 7 Dock, or have already placed your pre-order last year?

[CES 2013] Do you remember the Asus Transformer All In One that we talked about a few days ago? It was originally revealed to the masses as a teaser in Computex last year, where it functions as a desktop or as a tablet, depending on the situation. When it is in desktop mode, it will exist in the form of an 18.4-inch Windows-powered machine, and when you bring it with you on your travels, it would have ended up as an 18.4-inch Android-powered tablet.
Well, when it was teased in 2012, the Asus Transformer All In One came with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich on board. Good to know that things have changed (for the better) since that fateful date, where the Asus Transformer All In One at CES 2013 was seen to run on Android 4.1 Jelly Bean as the operating system of choice. This is nothing but good news to those who are interested, obviously, so if you are on the CES showfloor, you might want to give this bad boy a go.

This week the folks at ASUS have revealed the VivoTab Smart Tablet, a full Windows 8 tablet with a 10.1-inch full touchscreen display and a unique combination of wireless keyboard and foldable cover which holds the unit upright. This machine is being shown live and in person at CES 2013 and a looks like a winner if ever a Windows 8 tablet was one.
This beast takes on a form that may remind one of the Microsoft Surface Tablet but brings on its own bit of flare with a combination of covers in one go, here being shown with a variety of different color combinations (that look surprisingly like the Moshi iGlaze Versacover – take note!) This machine is relatively light, especially for a full Windows 8 machine, and is made to take on the market that’s surprisingly short of full Windows 8 tablets right this very minute.
Have a peek at this machine that’s got NFC, an Intel Atom Z2760 dual-core processor, and the ability to take photos with both a front and a back-facing camera. Quite similar to the display on the ASUS Transformer Prime, this tablet has excellent viewing angles and will be prepped for both simple browsing and your on-the-go computing needs.
This beast will be out sooner than later, taking on the market before the end of the Summer here in 2013. Have a peek at our ASUS tag to see more ASUS action today for the next week to see what else they bring to the mean hallways of CES 2013. Also make sure to keep your eyes on our giant CES hub for the hands-on or otherwise up to the minute action over the next week as well!

We’ve known about the Asus Transformer AIO since back at Computex, but the mutant hybrid wasn’t in working order until now. The verdict? …Kind of cool, actually. More »
ASUS‘ first go in the Google TV realm became official today. We heard earlier that the company would be digging its paws in that market a few days ago, but ASUS officially unveiled their Qube Google TV box today at CES 2013. We also happened to get our grubby little hands on the new device here at Pepcom inside CES.
Just as its name suggests, the Qube comes in the shape of a…cube, and it has an IR receiver on the front to work with a remote control, and there’s a USB port on the right side. On the back, there’s an HDMI-in, HDMI-out, another USB port, RJ-45 Ethernet, and IR-out — quite a few options for those who want ultimate connectivity.
Inside the Qube is a Marvell Armada 1500 chipset with 1GB of RAM and 4GB of storage, which isn’t a lot of storage space at all, but it’s safe to assume that a lot of the content you’ll be watching will be streamed through the cloud anyway.
Now here’s the bad news, the Qube that ASUS had at their booth here at Pepcom wasn’t a working model, but rather just a display unit of sorts. As far as availability and pricing, the Qube is expected to launch in the US this March at a steep price of $150, which a bit more than most set-top boxes these days, so we hope ASUS brings all they have with this new box.

When we first heard about the Qube, we were hoping it would be the Google TV box that finally succeeded in making the serve simple and easy to use. Well, we still haven’t seen it in actual action—Asus’s demo model isn’t functional—but the remote is enough to give us a second of pause. More »
ASUS’ Atom-based VivoTab has largely stayed on the sidelines while the VivoTab RT takes the limelight. The FCC may have just hinted that it’s time for the non-RT model to shine with a filing showing what could be a North America-specific variant. The absence of RT labeling across the descriptions is the main clue that there might be Intel Inside, although the slate on show clearly isn’t a pedestrian WiFi model — there’s four-band LTE inside, including an AT&T-specific 700MHz frequency and AWS bands that would support both AT&T and Canadian carriers. There’s no guarantee that Big Blue will carry the Windows 8 tablet, especially not when it’s already offering the Windows RT version, but those craving both LTE and full-on app compatibility could be satisfied in short order.
