Another Asus Eee Competitor – Datacask Anyone?

Posted in: competitor

And the competition just wouldn’t stop from coming. Here comes another Asus Eee rival hoping to get a share of the popularity and perhaps the unit sales that the Asus Eee PC has been getting. Welcome the Datacask from Fukato of Germany. The Datacask sells fro around $440 and is packed with the following features:

  • 8-inch, 800 x 480 pixel display
  • 500MHz AMD Geode LX processor
  • 20GB 1.8 inch hard drive
  • 512MB RAM
  • Linux operating system
  • 3 hour battery

Except for the 20GB hd and the processor, the Datacask is almost the same as the Asus Eee PC. No information though as to whether it has a webcam, USB ports etc.

But in the looks department, you can see that it is very much the same as the Asus Eee PC. The Datacask will be available in the European market sometime in May.
