ASUS chairman hints at secret weapon for iPad 2

Asustek chairman Jonney Shih revealed to ComputerWorld that his company has a secret weapon to combat Apple's iPad 2.
Asustek launched four new tablets at the International CES in Las Vegas this year, yet everyone expects Apple to launch the iPad 2 at any time. What does the new iPad mean for all the tablets coming out now? Won't it make them obsolete? Well, we already know some of the details of that device, such as what kind of processor they chose... We very carefully chose our tablet processor, the Nvidia Tegra 2, and to really compete it will take [Apple] some time. You know, [Nvidia] is well known for graphics.

Also, we will try to provide a "secret weapon," something we have not shown at this time but closer to the launch time we will show.

Is the secret weapon a component or a new tablet? I think it's best not to say now. You will have to wait until the launch.
