Fortunately this is not a post announcing a new Eee product from Asus. We’ve gotten tired with those anyways. This is a post announcing a future upgrade of the ‘classic’ Eee laptop line. According to an Asus birdie, which chose to keep its identity undisclosed, the Eee has big plans for the European market.

Asus Eee PCs for the European union will come equipped with HSDPA/HSUPA for 3G connectivity. That’s a step up. For Eee to be the complete portable smart device to carry around at all times, 3G connectivity is a must. That means more time online should you choose to purchase an unlimited data plan from your favorite carrier.

While you are waiting for the Asus Eee 901, 1000 and 1000H to hit the USA, Asus has announced they are going to launch the new Eee PC laptops which are the 904 and 905. What’s new you ask? Well, these two models will have an 8.9 inch LCD but the chassis and keyboard will be taken from the 10.2 inch models. So they finally realized the keyboard is too small to use successfully? Are we going to see 704 and 705 laptops too?

I like what I’ve been seeing in these pictures. Way to go Asus! I am tired of all the news about another Eee product, and I’d be more interested in buying one of this babies. I’d like to know more specs and when/if it will become available for the masses. From what we can see in those pictures this laptop is a multitouch dual screen. The top side is a touchscreen LDC while the bottom one is a QWERTY keyboard.
I hope Asus didn’t create it just to prove to others this is a viable concept and that it can be actually done.

To Beers or Three Beers, this is the question! No, wait, I got it wrong, it must be the weekend.

To Buy or Not to Buy the Eee? This is the question of the week, day, minute. And I am not talking about the Eee in general as a concept but by the upcoming, Atom processor powered Eee PC. It’s rumored that anytime next week Asus will release the Eee PC containing an Atom processor. But the price rizes up to $650.
Here’s an idea, let’s throw in a DVD combo, let’s widen the screen to 13-15 inch and let’s give it an Atom processor and a 80GB HDD. We’ll conveniently call it Eee PC 1301-1501 and sell it for a little over $700. What do you guys think?

I guess we will know more about the Atom Eee next week.

We had a small notebooks day today here at MobileWhack with so many small laptops emerging from various manufacturers. The leader of the pack, the Eee inventor, Asus, will be launching soon the Eee 1000, which is a 10 inch notebook.

All this is bound to happen in a few days in Taipei at Computex 2008. The Eee PC 1000 is Asus’ way of answering to feedback received from their customers. They are asking for a bigger display and a wider keyboard for a better Eee experience, and I couldn’t agree more!

The Asus Eee 1000 will be available later this year and we hope we can count on some other hardwares upgrades besides the extra inch. Hopefully we will know more about this laptop in a few days. We’re also curious about the official release date and of course the price. If you are in Taiwan, give us a hint once you find out more.
