Another Asus Eee update
Ars Technica has an update on the Asus Eee ultra-portable, which should be available very soon:
There will be three different versions of the Eee PC, two versions of the 700 and a 701 version. The entry-level system is priced at one site for $259 with 2GB of SSD storage and available in black only, without a webcam. The next version is a $299 Eee PC, which is available in white or black, includes a webcam, and offers 2GB of SSD storage. The top-of-the-line Eee PC is priced at $399, is available in black or white, has a webcam, and offers 4GB of SSD storage.
With just 2GB of storage, the cheapest models will not have much room for data and applications after the OS is taken into account. Of course, cheap SD cards and USB flash drives should help get around this limitation.
It’s rumored that the Eee PC may not be available until sometime in October, a month later than originally announced.
