New SSD Drives for Eee PC users
Aug 18th
Solid State Devices or SSD Drives are used to have the flash performance of SanDisk but at a competitive price, for customers who need high-capacity storage. According to the Eee PC News, the SSD are now being excluded from the “MyDigitalSSD” due to some reason. These devices are very much friendly with the new Eee PC 901, where you an easily replace your old SSD drives.
SanDisk Vaulter™ is expected to release its SSD drive of 8GB and 16GB by the September. Buffalo has been reported to be working on 32GB and 64GB PCI-E SSD. As per Engadget, the 32GB SSD Drive will be priced around 157 USD and the 64GB SSD Drive will be priced around 313 USD.
Ya, its also a matter to think when you are getting a computer at the price of a SSD Device. But still it is going to have advanced benefits for Eee PC users, who always need extra disk space.

Taiwan’s Far Eastone Bundles Up the Eee PC 701SD with 3G Plan
Aug 18th
Far Eastone of Taiwan is offering the Eee PC 701SD (yes, you read it correctly, it’s the upcoming Eee PC 701 SD version) together with their 3G mobile broadband service via high-speed HSPA (or high speed downlink/uplink packet access).
The deal entails subscribers to sign a two-year service contract a pay an outright cash of around $29 for the Eee PC 701SD. Yes folks, for $29 you’ll get a trusty Eee PC 701SD netbook. But of course, those 3G service plans comes with a monthly service fee, just like other 3G broadband services.
But still, if you’re in Taiwan and in need of a broadband service plus a netbook, this Far Eastone deal is certainly a good deal. This is similar to the Orange UK offer for the Eee PC 900 for £25 with a 2-year service contract as well.
The Eee PC 701SD is a solid netbook that would surely be appreciated by our friends in Taiwan. It features a Windows XP OS, 4-cell battery, 512 MB RAM, 8GB SSD, .3MP webcam, and Intel Celeron M353 and a 7-inch display.

Lenovo IdeaPad S9/S10 Hits the FCC
Aug 18th
We all know what happens when an upcoming device or gadget had reached the US FCC right? It could only mean one thing – said device is coming to the US. And it was what just happened to the Lenovo IdeaPad S9/S10. Words on the street (Engadget) indicated that the two new Lenovo netbooks have made its way to the FCC hurdle. So, expect these new netbooks to start hitting the US stores sometime soon.
Interestingly, as what Engadget noticed, there was no separate manual submitted by Lenovo for each of the S9 and S10. This could only mean that there’s not too many difference between the two to merit each one a separate manual.
At any rate, external photos of the test unit showed a robust netbook (see above photo). If you want to see more photos of the Lenovo S9/S10, head on to the FCC filing.
