Asus Plans to Drown the World in Eee Products

With the smashing success of the Asus Eee PC notebook, Asustek thought it wise to inundate the electronics market with Eee line of products namely: the E-DT, E-TV, and finally, the E-Monitor. The E-DT is a desktop PC which will be sold without a monitor. The first batch will run on Intel Celeron while subsequent batches will run on the Intel Shelton'08 platform with Diamondville processors. The E-DT will launch April or May this year and will be worth around $200-300 with Asus pushing the price down to only $199 when possible. The E-TV is a 42-inch LCD TV which is projected to have a price of only $200 and will launch around September of 2008. And lastly, the E-Monitor is an all around device like Apple's iMac. It will be sized between 19-21 inches and will feature a built-in TV tuner. Projected price on this one is $499. While Asus did great with the Eee PC notebook, it remains to be seen whether these new products will also be a hit with the masses.
