Hmm, I just read that too, on jkkmobile’s site. With better resolution, touch screen, then all they need to do is to license the OLPC XO dual mode (energy saving, and view outside in direct sunlight) technology.

For article about desire to license this OLPC XO tech see:

Hi,

I just read that future EEE pc’s will have a touch screen, standard!
Future models will have a 8,9 or 10 inch screen, the 9 inch model would have a touch screen

Hello, all.

I’m typing this on the EEE that finally came in last night (I ordered it in September). Looks great and feels great! I’ve got a 512MB (though I ordered only a 256). This is the first web site I’ve visited. Thanks for all the good info here I’ve been absorbing all these months!

“Of course, ASUS *should* make this a feature of a future release”

..and they will: http://jkkmobile.blogspot.com/2008/01/asus-to-make-eee-pc-with-touch-screen.html

Nice mod, easy and cheap:)

Of course, ASUS *should* make this a feature of a future release AND include the OLPC XO tech that they can license as well (dual mode screen, low battery use, and maybe an AMD processor).

You can have it done (when you are in Taiwan):

Yes very cool MOD. I’m nowhere near brave enough myself to try any internal ones

This may be a silly question, but if you don’t know, you have to ask: Does the Asus eee pc have dual voltage?
