Thanks to the crew over at AllAsus, we have some confirmed information about the Eee PC. These answers are straight from their Asus representative contact. Unfortunately, it’s not what we want to hear…

1. Asus is not bringing the $199 model to the United States. The cheapest US model will be $259
2. The RAM and the Flash storage are both embedded. You can NOT upgrade them

Disappointing, to say the least.

PS: On an unrelated final note, Palm has just announced that they’ve killed the Foleo project, at least for now.
