Asus will soon be bringing NVIDIA’s 3D Vision technology to notebooks in the form of the Asus G51J 3D. NVIDIA and Asus will be showcasing the G51J 3D at Pepcom’s Wine, Dine & Demo media event on Nov 19th in New York. The notebook will have a 120Hz 3D Vision-capable display fitted directly into its chassis.

The list of 3D Vision-compatible games is growing continuously. It currently boasts over 400 titles, including Resident Evil 5, Borderlands, World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King, Batman: Arkham Asylum, and Star Trek D-A-C. All 3D Vision-capable notebooks will ship with 3D Vision active-shutter glasses.

“NVIDIA and ASUS have a passion for gaming and cutting-edge technology, and this is another example of how great companies working together can deliver awesome new platforms to our combined customers,” said Asustek’s PC Wang. The G51J 3D will hit the market next month.

Asustek was initiated into the Open Handset Alliance in December 2008 along with a few other handset manufacturers – the second generation of Android backers. Asustek chairman Jonney Shih recently told the Taiwanese media that his company will lift the curtain on its first Android smartphone later this year.

This means that we are a few weeks away from the launch of another Android handset. Shih was addressing the media along with Asus president and CEO Jerry Shen, who said he expects demand for netbooks to remain steady in 2010.

Android and netbooks are not the only things keeping Asustek’s top brass occupied. Chairman Shih said that the company is mulling an entry into the green technology market.

In June, Asustek paraded an Android-based Eee PC smartbook powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon processor at Computex Taipei. The device gave rise to speculation that a commercial variant was on its way.

Asustek CEO Jerry Shen has put all such speculation to rest. "Currently, I still don't see a clear market for smartbooks,” he said during an investors’ conference in Taipei. According to a PC World report, Asus executives have blamed the company’s scarce engineering resources for smartbooks getting consigned to cold storage.

Despite Shen’s statement, Asus could still sell smartbooks developed by contract manufacturer Pegatron, which also happens to be its subsidiary.
