COMPUTEX TAIPEI has become the largest computer exhibition in Asia and the second largest in the world, next to CeBIT in Germany. Each year, key global businesses come to this event to launch their new products. Since a large portion of the businesses in the world have research and deployment centers or production facilities in Taiwan, this exhibition attracts observers, analysts, and journalists of computer and information industries from all over the world to discover and report the latest technologies, developments, and trends.

Computex trade show is still a week away, but some manufacturers have already started leaking little bits of info about the devices they plan to present there.

For instance, Asus, which launched a little Facebook campaign called “Break the Rules: Pad or Phone”, sporting only a very mystical image of a new tablet device.
