Earlier in May, ASUS announced that they will be producing two ASUS Eee Pad tablets. One Eee Pad will be of 12-inch tablet which will be running on Windows 7 Operating System and other one will be of 10-inch tablet which will be running on Windows Embedded Compact 7 Operating System. Now it seems that ASUS will be using Google's Android Operating System for its smaller Eee Pad tablet instead of Windows Embedded Compact 7 Operating System.

Google's Android Operating System is becoming popular day by day among the smartphones which makes sense for ASUS to adopt this Operating System for its Eee Pad tablet.

In Computex 2010 which held at Taipei in June, Eee Pad EP101TC tablet was demonstrated. At that point of time this tablet was running on Windows Embedded Compact 7 Operating System. Actually, ASUS had a good tie up with Microsoft for a long time, but in Feb, ASUS announced its Android based Nuvifone A50, which was developed with the partnership of Garmin.

Along with ASUS many others are dumping Windows. Lenovo, Dell, Cisco's Cius will be using Android for its tablets. HP will be using WebOS which is also called as dubbed Palm for its own tablets.
