In the market for a new 7-inch Android tablet? You may soon have another option to consider, as an image of a new Android-powered ASUS Eee Pad slate have begun making their way around the web. The slab in question packs a 7-inch display and what appears to be a set of dock connectors at the bottom of the device. The folks at Notebook Italia aren't quite sure of what kind of specs this thing might include, but they do suggest that the 7-inch Eee Pad might make its debut at CES next week.

So what do you all make of this 7-inch slate? ASUS has seen gained quite a bit of popularity in the Android tablet arena as of late thanks to the 10.1-inch Transformer and Transformer Prime, so it'll be interesting to see if the company can repeat that success with this smaller device. We'll be sure to pass along more details on ASUS' mysterious 7-inch tablet as we get them, but until then, let us know if you'd be interested in picking up one of these suckers for yourself.
