ASUS has finally released details regarding their ET1602 / ET1603 Eee Top all-in-one PCs. The company has decided to host official details for both units on their website. Both rigs boast a 15.6-inch touchscreen LCD, a 1.6GHz Intel Atom N270 CPU, 1GB of DDR2 RAM, a 160GB 5,400 RPM hard drive, 1.3-megapixel webcam, gigabit Ethernet, 802.11n WiFi, a pair of stereo speakers, two USB 2.0 ports, a multicard reader, audio in / out and a nifty handle to help with lugging them around. The ET1602 features an integrated graphics set while the ET1603 includes a discrete ATI Mobility Radeon HD3450. The company did not fess up on pricing or a release date, however.

Acer’s Inspire One may get significantly less press coverage than Eee PCs and other netbooks, but the company says they are on track to sell six million units this year. This is one million units ahead of ASUS’s goal of five million Eees. Acer’s ability to push the Aspire One globally has been credited for the massive success. ASUS is expected to hit back with an aggressive advertising push.

Jerry Shen, CEO of ASUS, noted recently that his company would release an Eee PC priced at US$200 in 2009. He also noted to a group of analysts that the 7- and 8.9 inch Eee PCs would be discontinued to make room for the 10-inch model. Shen did not clarify as to whether or not that meant the 10-inch Eee PC would be $200. He also gave the group some figures, noting that 70% of all Eee PCs now come loaded with Windows XP and hard disk drives compared to 30% that come loaded with Linux and SSDs.

RUMOR: Asus will launch Google Android phone in first half of 2009. There seems to be a lot of competition for developing the ultimate Android-powered phone in 2009. Hop-on and Motorola have announced their plans, HTC already has one on the market with more to come and now Asus want to take a stab at it. The question that remains is: Will it be called the Eee Phone?

Toys "R" Us will begin to sell iPods and Eee PCs in the aisle right next to your favorite Iron Man and Batman action-figures. Well, kinda.

iPods will be available at retail stores from the "iPod boutique" wall where they will also be selling accessories and iTunes gift cards. Toys "R" Us will carrying four models of the Asus’ Eee PC priced at $269 and $299.

I might have to start shopping at Toys "R" Us this holiday season.
