Asus is said to be  planning on phasing out some Eee PCs in the UK market particularly the older 7 and 9 inch series. As Asus has just  released  the slim 1008HA Sea Shell  in the UK, this will be followed by the release of two other newer Eee PC models – the 1005 and another yet to be named 1000 netbook series along the lines of the 1000H. 

Come July, Asus hopes to have only these three Eee PC offerings to the UK market. Imagine how easy it would be for consumers to decide on which of these three 10-inch netbooks all pre-loaded with Windows XP and 160GB HD to decide which one to get, right?

Following the release of the 1008HA, Asus is set to release the new thicker 1005. The Eee PC 1005 will have a removable battery with 12-month collect-and-return warranty. The Eee PC 1005 will be available for around £350.

If you’re wondering what will happen to the Eee PC 1000HE now? Well it will be one of those to be phased out by Asus despite being one of its bestselling Eee PC to date.
