Electronic giant Asus has used its Facebook page to post a teaser about a potential smartphone-tablet hybrid that will be unveiled at the upcoming trade show Computex.

Asus' teaser about the new device does not make it clear whether it is talking a single device that blends capabilities of both a tablet as well as a smartphone, or the teaser is about two devices that work in collaboration with each other.

It is also possible that the device can be folded in to be a smarrtphone and folded out to be a tablet computer.

Teaser pictures posted by Asus also depict a revamped, ultra-slim Eee PC netbook that may be launched with a Linux distribution.

Asking for comment from Asus fans, the teaser post says, "Given that we were the first to try Linux with the Eee PC701 back in 2007- we'd like to know again: is Windows still a firm requirement for your everyday needs.

Asia's largest trade show Computex, which will start on May 29 in Tapei, is expected to attract around 2,000 exhibitors and more than 120,000 visitors.
