minnow It appears that no one at Asus has even so much as heard of an NDA or a confidential roadmap, as they are springing new product leaks faster than the USS Minnow with Gilligan at the helm. Let’s look at a quick rundown of new Eees being sold, confirmed or rumored just over the last few days, little buddies.

* The Eee 904 has been confirmed by Asus with the following specs:

  • List price: @ $533
  • Release date: Mid July
  • CPU: 900MHz Celeron M chip currently
  • Operating System: Windows XP
  • Chassis: 10 inch
  • Display: 8.9 inch 1024 x 600 pixel
  • Storage: 80GB HDD
  • RAM: 1GB
  • Weight: 1.4kg / 3.1lb

* 3G Eee’s are on the horizon in two different flavors; WiMax for the US and HSDPA/HSUPA for Europe. Both would be designed to be bundled with service contracts from SPs. The Euro version may be out as early as September.

* Amazon is now taking preorders for the Eee 901/1000/1000h. Pricing is as follows:

  • Eee PC 1000 with an 40GB SSD, 10.2 inch display and Linux – $699.
  • Eee PC 1000H with an 80GB hard drive, 10.2 inch display and Windows XP – $649.
  • Eee PC 901 with an 8.9 inch display and Windows XP (12G SSD) or Linux (20G SSD) – $599.

*  According to jkkmobile a version of the Eee 900 with a 16GB flash SSD (running XP or GNU Linux) has been snuck out with no fanfare whatsoever. It is already available in some places online for $399.

Zealot has been involved with mobile devices for more than a decade now, starting off with dumb phones, moving to PDAs and then to smartphones, notebooks and netbooks with the odd PMP thrown in. Most of his mobile time currently is spent on a Treo Pro, Zune HD, Thinkpad T61, Gigabyte M912M or a Hackintoshed Compaq Mini 704. He proudly groks the Geek community and considers himself a Neo Maxi Zune Dweebie (thanks Will Wheaton!).
