It seems appropriate since there’s not a lot of Eee PC news to update on some of the related products and announcements out there:
- There are some new pictures of the Via Nanobook out, a device that is really only a “reference design” and would cost ~$600. It looks small and nice, but it’s awful expensive for what you would get.
- There’s been a fair amount of press in regards to the Palm Foleo, for instance some solid facts on the specs and also some new pictures. It should be arriving somewhere around september with it’s hefty price tag….
- If low cost computing is your interest and you live in China, you will be able to get a $198 PC from Lenovo. PC means big, bulky, desktop, PC.
- Kohjinsha, makers of a line of UMPC devices similiar in size to the EeePC 701, is coming out with a new device.
- And some EeePC news? LSPCI and LSUSB info on an EeePC 701 courtesy of matty.

The LSPCI is tangles me a little bit. Why do ASUS use a Atheros Ethernet instead of an Intel Ethernet solution which would be reasonable on a board with Intel Chipset. Further more I can not find a WIFI-Device.
Does anybody know more about that?
@ fish:
Have you looked at Atheros’ product line up? The don;t make 80.23 ethernet cards, only 80.211 Ethernet cards.
WIFI is ethernet. It’s all part of the same specification. 802 is ethernet. .3 is wired, .11 is wireless.

This is the first place I’ve found taking pre-orders. I’ve bought Asus product from them in the past.

The Nanobook looks dinky compared to the eeepc.
