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.

IMOVIO launched a device called the iKit, a "Pocket Mobile Companion." The device is an alternative to the much-loved eee pc’s and smartphones. Measuring in at 95mm by 65mm by 15.5mm, the device looks like an eee pc for Mini-Me.

The iKit is a clamshell device that comes with a full QWERTY keyboard, 8GB SD card slot, whopping 2.8 inch display, wifi, bluetooth and webcam.

It runs Linux, which should make it pretty hackable and will priced around $170. Why not pony up twice that for an Asus Eee PC that you can actually get some work done on?

Choose your color from these Asus Eee PCs. These entry-level machines are priced at $299 and come in Pure White, Lush Green, Sky Blue, Blush Pink, or Galaxy Black.

Just in time for your holiday shopping.

Asustek Computer (ASUS) wants to become one of the top five suppliers in the notebook brand market within three years, according to general president Jerry Shen. 200,000-300,000 Eee PCs are expected to ship by the end of this year and the figure for next year will expand to more than three million units at least.

This second-generation Eee PC due for April 2008, will feature Intel’s Merom processors and will reduce power consumption from 11W TDP to 7W TDP and might mean eliminating the fan entirely.

The Eee PC aims to make computing affordable for everyone, the first models being a $199 version using a 4GB flash hard drive and another $299 version using a 8GB drive.

According to unproven sources, it seems that the specs on the Asus Eee PC keep getting more and more detailed (or maybe "accurate" is a better word). So far, looks like there will be two models, with prices ranging from $269 on the low-end model and $399 on the high-end. Specs follow:

• 7-inch display
• 2GB of flash storage, 4GB on the high-end model
• 4- or 6-cell battery
• Wi-Fi
• 512MB RAM

You’ll have your choice of black or white cases. And remember: all of this hasn’t been verified by Asus, so it could be the polar opposite of what actually ships.
