Addressing motion about the gadget , Asustek ’s president said :
Frankly speaking , the first question , I would like to apologize that , if you look at Asus booth we ’ve decided not to display this product … I think you may have seen the gadget on Qualcomm ’s booth but really , I suppose this is a company decision so far we would not like to show this twist . That ’s what I can tell apart you so far . I would care to justify for that .
This sounds like distinctive backpeddling , as if their hardware married person just allow the hombre out of the bag a bit early . Not so , evidently :
For the time being this task is not a anteriority because our engineering resources are circumscribed .
Since we ’ve realise the machine already , I assume this intend that the software challenge at paw is n’t something that the company is quick to undertake . And really , that ’s clean — overhauling a smartphone interface so that it behaves of course with a non - touch , keyboard - and - trackpad - based netbook is a huge undertaking . [ PC World ]
