ASUS CEO: Touchscreen Eee PCs and Windows 7 in mid-2009, $250 model on the way
Engadget —
Filed under: LaptopsWe heard the rumor now ASUS' CEO, Jerry Shen, confirms in an interview with Laptop that ASUS will slap a touchscreen and Windows 7 into a new Eee PC sometime in the second half of 2009.

Touchscreen Eee PC scheduled for early 2009 according to Asus CEO
Obsessable News Feed —
LAPTOP Magazine recently interviewed Asus CEO Jerry Shen and learned that the long-rumored touchscreen version of the Asus Eee PC netbook will be coming in early 2009 with Windows 7 available on the Eee by mid-2009. Shen also revealed that the Eee line would range from a low $250 to $700 in price.

Asus CEO: Touchscreen Eee PCs coming, will be thicker
Liliputing —
So I was skimming through Laptop Magazine’s interview with Asus CEO Jerry Shen, and a few things jumped out at me. First, as we already suspected, Asus will begin selling Eee PC laptops with touchscreens in 2009. But for some reason, Shen says that touchscreens will add thickness to the machine, which is news to me. Last time I checked, you could cram a touchscreen in an existing Eee PC like a 701 without building a thicker case.
Perhaps what Shen meant by that remark is that Asus will be working on thinner Eee PC models like ...

... netbook, and not any of the other Eee branded products such as the Eee Box. As for which models of the Eee PC did the best in terms of sales, the smaller 7-inch did well, in part because that was the only model available during the first quarter.
Otherwise, Shen has said that the 900, 901, 1000 and 1000H are all doing well thanks to their 9 and 10-inch 1024 x 600 resolution displays, but the smaller 7-inch models continue to be in demand as well.

... have said their goal is to launch the operating system three years after the debut of Vista, which was released to businesses in November 2006 and to consumers and PC makers in January 2007. Analysts have typically interpreted Microsoft's broad timetable to mean that Windows 7 will ship in the second half of 2009 or in early 2010. If Microsoft didn't unveil Windows 7 until 2010, that would mean it would be skipping a WinHEC event during 2009, a first. Bott also pointed to a story in ...
