I briefly mentioned this back in late 2006 so I was surprised to see it in the flesh at CeBIT 2009 yesterday. Rather disappointed to hear that it still hasn’t hit the market though. Fortunately for ROAD, they were way ahead of the game so they’ve still got a chance to get this out without the specs looking too outdated although something tells me that the 2.5G data capability isn’t going to impress too many ‘road’ warriors .  JKK and I did a quick video overview of the device which you’ll find after the jump.

The ASUS Eee S101 is flying up the UMPCPortal charts right now and currently the 6th most viewed product in the database. Maybe it’s because it’s a very viewable product? I mean, lovely! Gorgeous even!

UMPCFever have just posted the English version of theirS101  unboxing photos and comments.

Its lighter and smaller than a Mac Book Air. It looks just as good and costs about half the price. Of course, that isn’t going to sway anyone with an Apple fetish but I bet the people you see in the coffee shop with the S101 will have a wider smile than the MBA owners. Assuming they can prize out those silly faux diamond from the hinges that is!

ASUS S101 in the database.

Check this out. Engadget received a photo of an ASUS presentation slide showing 23 Eee models.

Note the ‘Touch’ and ‘Slim and Light’ expressions. Also note that the ASUS R50 and R70 aren’t part of the range. Looks like they still see tablets as niche devices that don’t fit into the EEE profile.

New models to look out for are the S101, S91, T101. I wonder if we’ll finally see a version of the T83. (image left.)It was a popular device on the portal last year but probably needs an update now.
