New Asus Eee PC info from Taiwanese blogger

Submitted by reader Bluberry -

A Taiwanese blogger who goes by the name of Jeremy offers a cornucopia of info on the Asus Eee PC on his blog. The translated version in English can be read here. (Note: the translation is kinda crappy.)

At the any rate, here are the highlights of his posts:

1. The Asus Eee PC will be officially launched in Taiwan on Oct 11, 2007.



2. Keyboard is a bit cramped for Jeremy's ring and index fingers.



3. The 300K webcam.



4. The Asus Eee PC with a 3.5G HSDPA Huawei card attached, which provides Internet access via cellular.



5. The Yahoo home screen as it appears on the 7" screen. Notice the truncation.



6. OpenOffice in action. The Word document opened fine without any problems.



7. Excel file also loaded without any problems. Formulas were intact.



8. Powerpoint presentation ran smoothly as well.

9. Jeremy feels as long as the Asus Eee PC does not exceed TWD10,000 (about USD305) it should do well.

The TWD10,000 appears to be the psychological price point in Taiwan, as compared to USD200 in the US.

There are tons of information in the blog, including more photos and videos. It is definitely worth a visit.
