The much hyped Eee PC-related Asus announcements at CES turned out to be ho hummers with the biggest news being that there will be new Asus Eee PCs with bigger screens.
Asus is planning to fit an 8" screen into the same chassis as the first models, which have a 7" screen. But the newer models sporting 8.9" and 10" screens will be slightly bigger units.
It is also planning to make a desktop version of the Eee PC, probably in response to Everex's best-selling gPC. However instead of the big case used by the gPC, Asus will go with a compact case.
Interestingly, there was no mention of a Windows-version of the Eee PC and no demo units were available either, although Asus did show off a slew of other new products, including a new laptop with 1 terabyte of storage.
Asus also demo'd WiMAX but not on an Eee PC model, noting that entry-level WiMAX-capable notebooks will be available starting at USD999.
More details available from PC Advisor and Engadget.
