The guys over at Datamation have compiled a list of 25 open source applications that will work on an Asus Eee PC netbook. The list focuses mainly on Linux based applications, for the original Eee PC 701, but some are compatible with Windows and some apps solely Windows. Within the 25 open source applications, 19 of the apps will work on Linux based Eee PCs, with 10 of the apps made for Windows. Those who have a hackintosh aren’t left out either with 6 of the apps working on OS X. The applications are primarily for the Asus Eee PC, but with some also working on other netbooks.

The apps are listed in 12 different categories over 3 pages, ranging from documentation and drivers through to operating systems such as Eeebuntu and other utilities.

Besides conceptual things like the dual-touchscreen notebook we showed you a while back, Asus is expected to showcase a few other netbook-related things such as a 512GB SSD-equipped Eee PC S121, the awesome Eee keyboard, and a so-called Eee PC 1008HA Shell. This new netbook is supposedly another ultra-thin model for the company’s Eee PC line, and will feature new industrial design and longer battery life than its predecessor. More on these as we get the info.

Though it’s been practically available forever on other markets, MSI Wind Spanish reports that the Asus Eee PC 1002HA has just been officially announced over there, and they are pegging the price at about 449 € or nearly $600 USD. This particular netbook won’t be different from its U.S. or Asia-Pacific counterparts, in that it will come with a 10.2-inch screen, Intel Atom processor, 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi, and a 5-hour 4200mAh battery. It will come with Windows XP out of the box, but one can easily upgrade the OS to either Vista or Windows 7 if needed. No word yet on which retail outlets it will be sold in, but it should be in leading computer stores in the next few days.

The netbook that created netbooks and which spawned a huge market for netbooks worldwide – the Asus Eee PC, is one year old today.

October 16th 2007 saw the arrival of the first Eee PC and since then the brand has soared in sales and become the ‘role model’ for a plethora of netbooks from different manufacturers and a plethora of different models of the Eee PC from ASUS too.

The Eee PC is only a year old but it is still the oldest netbook on the block and with the number of different models of Eee PC that ASUS are producing, there is still a lot of life in the old/young netbook yet!

Happy Birthday Eee PC!!
