ASUS' Intel Atom based UMPCs

Given that ASUS was in a separate hall from the rest of the motherboard makers, we missed its Atom based UMPCs in our Day 1 coverage.

ASUS had two models on display, the R50 and R70:

The R50 is the smaller of the two devices while the R70 is more of a small Tablet PC form factor.

Unfortunately both the R50 and R70 ran Windows Vista, which even on a 1.6GHz Intel Atom is sluggish.
