ASUS revealed their UK launch schedule for the Eee PC T91. This convertible netbook was announced back in January at CES and will now be arriving in the UK in late May or early June, with a MRSP of £449 ($675). The company has not confirmed US launch details yet.

The final specifications for the T91 are still unconfirmed, but, apparently it uses an 8.9-inch capacitive touchscreen, Intel Atom processor, 1GB of RAM and Eee PC Touch UI. Optional TV tuner and GPS have also been hinted at, although they’re unconfirmed as well for this first launch.

Anxious to get your first touch-friendly netbook? Asus has one ready for you or actually two: the Eee PC T91 and the Eee PC T101H which are set to arrive later this year. Wonder how that touch interface works? Check out the 6-minute video Asus has launched. It can surely bring some answers to your questions. So do you like what you see? We do too! It could be further improved but we’re going to take baby steps here. Being able to use a touch interface will certainly improve the netbook’s usability. Put me down for one! As long as it has touch support.

I am surprised to find myself more interested in what Asus had announced instead of Apple’s latest Macworld keynote. So let’s forget DRM-free tracks and MacBook Pros for a change and focus on those new Eee products we might see rolling from Asus this year.

The Eee Keyboard has just been announced and it sounds really appealing. It’s a full-sized keyboard with built-in PC including WiFi and Ethernet, speaker, microphone and a 5-inch display and touchscreen. It will connect to any display and I am actually interested in playing with one whenever it gets out.

Moving on then to touchscreen netbooks then! That’s right, you heard me! The Eee PC T91 is a convertible tablet netbook. It will probably be ready for Windows 7 and it features an 8.9 inch LED backlit touchscreen, a TV-tuner and built GPS all powered by an Intel Z520 Atom processor.

Just when you thought we’d be done with all the Eee news we have one more fun idea for you. There’s an Asus 12.2 inch netbook that will get you 8-hours of battery juice (funny number considering Apple’s new battery) and a whooping 512 SSD which is certainly the first SSD that big to be planted into a laptop.
