News on the ultra-light and ultra-affordable Asus EEE PC continues to trickle out. DigiTimes is reporting that the much-anticipated unit will begin shipping in September, in a variety of configurations:

The Eee PCs will be available at US$199, US$239, US$349 and US$369 depending on specifications, with the model priced at US$349 targeting the mainstream, said the sources, noting that the first-round shipments will be mostly of the mainstream model.

It looks like a $199 model may be available after all, despite earlier reports that the unit would start at $250 – $300. However, it also looks like that least expensive configuration may not be available in any quantity at release.
