Taipei's been far too kind to us Westerners, and with Computex drawing to a close here on this side of the world, we can't help but pull ourselves together for a moment and look back at the trade show that was. It's been a fairly wild week in news, in large part thanks to the smorgasbord of tablets that have surfaced for the first time during the 30th running of this great event. Both Intel and Microsoft dropped bombshells on the tech world this week, with ASUS, iiView and even the xpPhone... making bigger-than-life impressions. If you missed any of the blow-by-blow action over the past week, we'll work on forgiving you, and while you can relive the memories by visiting the links below, you simply can't move on with your life without living vicariously through us during our trip to the one and only Windows 7-themed '100 Seafood' restaurant. So long, Taiwan -- we'll be back before you know it.
