Asus Eee PC 2.0 debuts at CES 2008

Asus Eee PC 2.0

Looks like Asus will debut the new improved Eee PC at next week’s CES 2008 in Las Vegas. It should sport a bigger 9inch screen and come with WiMax wireless broadband connectivity. The current Asus Eee PC has a 7 inch display which may prove to be too small for Windows users. Another rumoured upgrade is a 8GB Flash SSD instead of the current 4GB that may be a tad too small for a usual collection of MP3s.

Some have touted the Asus Eee PC to be a innovative computer as it has preloaded many different applications to allow the user to many different apps from the first boot. Open Office and Skype are pre-loaded. There are links to the Google Applications, instant messaging, e-mail and Internet radio applications.

    It’s not so much a bigger screen it needs (although that would of course be nice), it’s simply higher res. PDAs and phones give almost the same res on a 2.4 – 3″ screen for goodness sake, and quite legibly too! 800×600, or 1024×768 anyone?

    It is the price that is really interesting. At about £200 you get a fairly decent gadget. I’d prefer getting this just to read ebooks rather than a Kindle!

    well i hope the next gen will have more (way more) space on disc and plus bigger screen – and all that in the same size that it’s right now.
    i hope!
