Interestingly, Allasus is using model number 700 for the entry level models - the same Model number used by Canadian reseller NCIX but switches back to 701 for the 4GB/512MB model. Configurations are also the same except the processor type is missing in Allasus' description. Is this an oversight or a deliberate omission?

Allasus Moves Asus Eee Ship Date - Again

US-based Allasus.com has yet again changed the projected ship date of the Asus Eee PC 701. It has originally listed it at August 07, then changed it to Fall 07. Now its website is saying expected delivery is October 07.

Could this mean that Asus is having problems sourcing NAND memory, given the current shortage? Or that it has other problems related to the production of the Asus Eee? Well, hopefully not.

Allasus moves ETA of Asus Eee

U.S.-based on-line retailer Allasus (by Star Tech) updated its website today and moved the projected ship date of the Asus Eee from 8/7 to Fall 07.

I guess this implies that we will have to wait a little longer before we can go hands-on on those little buggers.
