Quite a number of devices caught our eye at Computex but these two from the ASUS booth were just a bit more interesting. This includes the ASUS E1Z, a tiny projector array that fits into your pocket and a new tablet cover that comes with six speakers and 5.1 channel surround sound. The E1Z uses LED technology to project images and videos from your Android phone. It also uses a micro-USB connection, so you won't have to buy an MHL cable. What's more, is that it doubles as a battery bank, and thanks to its 6000 mAh battery, there's sufficient power for emergencies. Official Malaysian pricing and tech specs are yet to be announced, but it seems that the E1Z will be priced around US$200 (RM740). The tablet cover on the other hand comes with six speakers. This allows the cover to support 5.1-channel surround sound and according to ASUS, boost the standard volume of the attached tablet by up to six times. Reports have said that it'll go on sale at the same time as the ASUS ZenPad 8.0, but it remains unclear if the cover is only compatible with the ZenPad 8.0, or can be used with other tablets as well.
