Asus going to launch a smartbook after all
CrunchGear — ... a smartbook product sometime during 1Q2010. This is a dramatic about face from what was stated previously, I wonder is Asus perhaps underestimated the demand for small, lightweight, Android based products when they made their previous statements. Mr. Shen also said that Asus R&D has been working quite hard, and we should expect to see quite a few new products from them in the next 6 months. Asustek’s first smartbook is expected to retail for about $180. [via Shanzai]

Engadget — ... was it pressure from Wintel, we never can tell? Then yesterday, ASUS' Jerry Shen pulled an about-face at an investor meeting in Taipei with talk of launching a $180 smartbook in Q1 of 2010. Bristling with confidence, Shen goes so far as to call it a "secret weapon" in a category offering potential for huge, Eee PC-like growth.

ASUS Smartbook to Launch Q1 2010
Gadget Venue — ... will be included along with other application that could be downloaded. Although a few months ago ASUS were heard to say that there is no future for Smartbooks, it seems that there has been a major u-turn on this as the boss boldly expects sales to go very well. It will be an interesting year if Smartbooks do follow the success of netbooks although I’m not too optimistic myself, that perhaps might change if Chrome OS is installed on one of the devices.
