Not sure if the information source is the same as that of I4U News' in the previous post, but Notebookreview Site Admin JerryJ, in a post (post # 1) in said forum, practically echoed the news that only the entry level 2G Surf and the high-end 8G models will be available for sale by US resellers Best Buy and Newegg. Well, at least, initially...
Asus announced yesterday that their low-priced Eee PC will be available for purchase in the United States "within a few weeks."
Asus isn't providing specific release dates at this time, but their official press release does mention the Eee PC will be available for purchase at Best Buy and New Egg in two configurations.
The Asus "Eee PC 2G Surf" comes with 256MB of RAM and a 2GB Solid State Disk Drive (SSD), but the built-in web camera has been removed in order to bring the cost down to $299. The Asus "Eee PC 8G" is pre-configured with 1GB of RAM, an 8GB SSD, and webcam for $399.
Asus is also offering the "Eee PC 4G" with 512MB of RAM and a 4GB SSD, but early indications are that only the 2G and 8G versions will be available at Newegg and Best Buy during the initial product launch. Additional specifications are listed below:
