Netbooks strike again. Every computer maker is getting ready for 2009. Are they going to make them cheaper besides upgrading the components? During the quarterly earnings call, Asustek said it plans to drop the price of its Eee PCs in 2009.

We might see entry level Eee PCs to sell for as low as $200 which is remarkable. Asus sold 1.7 million Eee Pcs during the last quarter and they plan to ship another 1.8 million during the next quarter. Asus will cancel smaller netbooks too, in favor of the 10 inch versions.

A $200, 10 inch Eee PC… Is that possible in 2009?
