Asus is showing off a new 9" (8.9" actually) Eee PC at CeBIT. Engadget
has some more details about this system:
We found out that and a few other little tidbits about this Eee PC "New Generation" at the ASUS booth just now, but for the most part the 9-inch Eee PC is quite similar to its 7-inch forebearer. Anything past that ASUS is saving for tomorrow's press event when this laptop will become officially official, but whatever they end up calling it (Eee PC 900 is rumored), it's certainly for real. The battery impact of the new display is said to be "negligible," with 2.5 to 3 hours of battery quoted. ASUS wouldn't let us turn it on since it's all so very secret at the moment, but they did confirm some release details.
This new model will be available by mid-2008, the 12GB version will carry a 399EUR price tag and there will also be a cheaper 8GB model.
