Landing in May or June 2008
These little Eee PCs are all the rage these days and they're only going to get better over time. Pretty quickly too.
Kevin Lin, vice president of ASUS' sales department, has revealed that the forthcoming Eee PC 900, which increases the screen size to 8.9 inches, ups the memory to 1GiB and increases the SSD capacity to 12GiB, will pack a few other pleasant surprises.
Firstly, the often rumoured touchscreen will finally make its way to the Eee PC. Lin confirmed that the new 8.9in Eee will include touchscreen panels and that the touch-capable device is scheduled to ship in May or June at around $500 (£250).
Lin also took the time to wet our appetites with the mention of possible GPS support. A GPS-packing Eee is anything but official right now, but, according to Lin, it could happen.
It's fair to say there's plenty happening in the Eee world; the desktop variant, E-DT, is also expected to ship around the same time as the new Eee PC notebook. Start saving now, folks, there's a whole lot more Eee heading your way.
