Re: [SLUG] eee pc 900 (20080709)

From what I have read to date there is quite a bit of demand in Europe for the 
eeepc.  I read that the 901 was release ca. 20 June 2008 according to some 
reports.

It is difficult to know what impact the competitors will have on eeepc sales.  
There are many similar ultra portables, MSI wind, Cloud, HP2133, Medion, to 
name a few.

I am guessing the picture will be clearer towards the end of the third quarter 
this year.
