Asustek announced that it will be coming up with a new MID (mobile internet device) this coming June 2008. Dubbed as the Asus R50, the new MID will have a 5.6 inch lcd display and will be manufactured by Pegatron Technology. The device would run on both Linux and Windows Vista and is tentatively priced at $500. Come November, the Asus R50 will immediately get an upgrade with a new keyboard to boot.
Asustek has not given out too many details about this new device as of yet. Probably because the company is still preparing for the launch of the 2nd generation Asus Eee PC as well as the recent launch of the Windows XP powered 7-inch Eee.
