A member of the EeeUser forums called mburris has been modifying his Asus Eee PC 901 with great success and he has posted up a video of his ‘creation’ – a touchscreen Eee PC 901 running Windows 7 as the operating system and running Firefox which is working with the ‘grab and drag’ plugin.
Sounds impressive doesn’t it? Well, watch the video yourself and see that this modder didnt just stop at adding a touchscreen to his 901, he went even further and built the touchscreen into a kitchen cabinet too with great effect:
Based on the Eee PC 901 model, the 901 Go has the addition of an internal 3.5G HSUPA modem plus a slot for reading sim cards. Connectivity is what the ‘Go’ is about, letting it live up to it’s name as a netbook.
Between the 18th of October and the 14th of November, subscribers to SingTel’s mobile broadband plan can pick up the Eee PC 901 Go at S$498, discounted from the S$898 it will cost without the service.
The new Asus Eee PC 901Go has been unboxed and photographed by Mobile01 who have posted the pics up on their site.
The Eee PC 901Go (aka the Eee PC 901 HSUPA 3.5G) is basically a 901 model with the addition of a 3.5G HSUPA modem which is fitted inside the netbook to boost connectivity and a sim card slot for use with cellular phones, ideal for a quick, easy, hack free 3G connection to the net.
Einfach Eee have reported that the Asus Eee PC 901 Go will not be released in mid-September. The release date has now been pushed back to October.
Einfach Eee also has further details regarding the 901 Go. The 901 Go will retail for 399 Euros, which is only 20 Euros more than the non 3G 901. It will only be available in retail stores EP, Medimax and Expert among others. You’ll have to wait before being able to purchase it from the T-Mobile web site.
Signing up to a data plan isn’t necessary, but the 3G modem is network locked and so will only work with a T-Mobile sim.
Details are still coming in but, T-Mobile are the latest company to offer a netbook with a a 3G modem and data plan. With one of these you should never need to race to a wireless hotspot again to get online and T-Mobile are commiting to the service by announcing in Germany that they are going to be bundling the Asus Eee PC 901 with a 3G modem.
Equally, the details on cost and on the plans available is vague but, expect the Eee PC to be offered at a fraction of the retail price depending on the data plan chosen. It could even be offered for free, we can dream anyway!
