SingTel are bringing the new Asus Eee PC 901 HSUPA 3.5G, also known as the 901 Go, to Singapore.

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.

An intriguing ‘laptop’ has appeared on the web today, and it is anything but standard. This new machine, lacking specs or the makers name, is made of a couple pen-shaped devices.

The machine operates via a couple of thin ‘pens’ that are Bluetooth enabled. These devices project the screen and keyboard onto any flat surfaces.

There’s no other features listed, no other information at all. There is one picture of the person who is presumed to be the created, but nothing is official.

It will be interesting to see if anything comes of this design.
