Asus Eee PC shortages delay its release in ten Asian markets

From TechConnect -

The Asus Eee PC is off to a promising start but not everyone will enjoy it this year. Initially the company had planned to have the Eee PC on shelves in no less than 15 Asian countries but due to shortages some will have to go without at least until next month. Already selling in China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore and Thailand, the Eee PC will arrive in Japan only next year, possible after the 10" screen 8G version's official launch.
