Yes the computer in the picture is an Eee PC. Yes it is a 701 version. Yes it comes from Vodafone with a mobile Internet plan.

It appears Asus’ Eee strikes again. Vodafone has picked up the 701 version and it launched the Vodafone NetPC plan. Besides the mini-laptop, the plan includes a “Vodafone Connect” USB modem which will give you access to 3G Internet surfing at speeds of up to 7.2MBps. For now Vodafone Portugal has it in store but it’s likely that other countries will follow. Vodafone is thinking out of the box here and it’s ready to offer the Eee 701 PC in two versions: a Linux based one and a Windows XP version. The prices will vary depending on what model you choose. Linux will get you a $313 Eee PC while XP will raise the price to $360. Besides that there’s a monthly Internet plan for the next 18-months to be paid. Check back with your Vodafone shop near you if you’re in Portugal right now.

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.
