PC Corner Lists Astone UMPC, Blue H1, Eee PC 701 all at $203

Philippine-based PC Corner is selling the Astone UMPC, Blue H1, and the original Asus Eee PC 701 4G all at P9,995 or roughly just USD203, which is practically the original announced $199 price of the latter. At this price, as expected, PC Corner has been enjoying brisk sales, with both Astone UMPC and Blue H1 outselling the Eee PC.

Both the Astone UMPC and the Blue H1 incidentally have conventional hard drives, the former with 60GB, the latter, 40GB. In addition, the Astone has a touch screen.

At the $200 price point, these netbooks are already much lower than high-end smart mobile phones such as the Nokia e90 Communicator or the Apple iPhone 3G (without contract). In fact, they are at the same price point of popular mid-level mobile phones, officially making them commodity items.
