Eee PC 900A Gets Priced in Germany
Aug 16th
Although Asustek’s Global Site has already added the official details and specifications of the Eee PC 900A, there was still no officially press release announcing its launch or expected date of shipment and even its priced. But apparently not in Germany where the Eee PC 900A is expected to have an SRP of 249 Euro (approximately $365).
Currently at Amazon, the 16GB Eee PC 900 is priced at around $399. We should all remember that the Eee PC 900 is the first in the series of 8.9 Eee PC series, and as such it only packs with the older Celeron CPU. While the Eee PC 900A will have the more powereful Atom processor. Other than that, both Eee PC 900 and Eee PC 900A are practically the same machines.
So, expect the price of the Eee PC 900 to go down once the Eee PC 900A starts shipping internationally.

Some More Dell Inspiron Mini Rumors and Speculations
Aug 16th
The excitement and anticipation over Dell’s netbook which we learned might already be called the Dell 910 from the previously rumored name Inspiron Mini, continous to haunt us netbook loving internet community. Latest words on the streets say that Dell has already ordered 1 million UMPC for manufacturing to a local Taiwanese contractor. Said UMPC would boasts of either 4GB or 8GB Solid State Drives.
Of course, if you would consider such specs, that would normally lead you to believe that this UMPC might be what we’ve been waiting for Dell to unveil. The problem is some are also saying that Dell is set to launch the Inspiron 910 on August 22, and if we are to take this rumors as true, then comes this more reliable source from a Taiwanese site saying that Dell has enter its order for 1 million UMPC, we might not be seeing the Dell netbook most probably not yet this month.
If Dell is really on the brink of releasing its own netbook, I think the right timing to release it officially is now. The anticipation is building up, the hype is already ripe. Marketing-wise, Dell would certainly gain a lot of traction if they will release their netbook anytime soon as the excitement over the Eee PC is currently at rest.
So, Dell. When are we going to see the light of day of your netbook?
