Asus Eee PC Touchscreen
The have been rumours circulating about a touchscreen Eee PC since early this but so far nothing has surfaced. It looks like the rumour is going into overtime once again with Asus reportedly preparing a touchscreen variant of its netbook range. No specifics yet but a number of sites are suggesting that we’ll see one of these new devices hitting the market sometime in Q1 2009. Other eagerly anticipated extras include the dual core Intel Atom (although I think this could be earlier than next year), 3G capabilities and WiMAX.
Personally, I’d be very interested in seeing a touchscreen version of the forthcoming Asus Eee PC S101 - the so called MacBook Air killer. Adding a touchscreen to this device would surely give Asus a big boost in the netbook market.
And what about Apple? It wouldn’t surprise me to see Apple entering the netbook sector in the near future - missing out on the opportunity to cream some cash out of a highly lucractive area whilst pushing deeper market penetration of OS X is just what Jobs and co need.
