In an interview with LAPTOP MAG, ASUS CEO Jerry Shen revealed that the company will be releasing touchscreen versions of the computer that we have all come to love, the Eee PC.

Shen revealed that the company is planning on releasing some models with multi-touch capabilities as early as Q1 2009, but those models will also be thicker in dimensions with the add-on feature. He confirmed that eee pc’s will be geared for Windows 7 in the future.

He also said eee pc MAY come in tablet form or in another undisclosed form factor. Maybe that other form factor is the same as the one pictured above.
