EeePC 900 Gets a Touchscreen Mod That's So Good We Want It Standard
If we didn't know that this was done by a user, we'd swear that this touchscreen Eee PC was made by Asus themselves. The video shows a super sensitive and responsive screen, flicking quickly up and down on a web page with either the finger or stylus. On a laptop of 10-inches or smaller—what we like to call "tardtops"—a touchscreen fits just perfectly. Why get a Kindle when you have a light, touchscreen laptop that can be carried with you and supports lots of colors? Nice work jkkmobile. [JKKMobile]

Asus Eee PC Tech Support Seems Kind of Lousy
Everyone seems to love the EeePC's tiny body, but their tech support seems kind of lousy. Reader John purchased one, but couldn't get it to work with his 2Wire router. When calling Asus support, he found out that not only does the Eee not work with 2Wire routers right now, but they don't even have one to test it with. Wha? More »

Asus EEE 900 Gets 20GB Linux version, Some Launch Dates
We'd heard the upcoming EEE PC 900 was going to have 12GB of flash, but Asus has just stumped up some more data. 4GB of that is permanent with the remaining 8GB being slot-loaded. That's for the XP version— the Linux edition will have a whopping 16GB of slot-loaded storage. The diminutive machine will apparently be available in the UK and Hong Kong now, France tomorrow and Australia, Germany and Italy at different dates from late April to May. No word on the US release yet. Asus press release below. [Impress, VR-zone and Engadget] More »

Just days after becoming official, JKK Mobile has unveiled a short video hands on with the Asus Eee PC 900. It is not definitive by any means, although they were generally impressed. Specifically, they were happy with the larger size and increased resolution (1024 x 600) on the 8.9-inch screen. And the 1GB ram, 1.3 megapixel camera and 8GB SSD (up to 12GB) is definitely an improvement over the original. Available in mid April for 399 Euros ($607) with Linux [jkkmobile]

Everex Cloudbook Gets Dropped By Its First Shipping Company
Things just get worse and worse for Everex's Cloudbook, previously thought to be a competitor to the popular Asus Eee PC, as the first company to actually ship the mini laptop has ceased selling it. ZaReason says they've lost so much money in shipping out refunds (due to bank transaction fees) that it's no longer profitable for them to sell it. Why would so many people want refunds? Because the laptop's kind of a crapfest, according to last week's Laptop Mag review—partially because the touchpad is placed in a horrible, horrible spot. But if you really want one, Wal-Mart's got it listed on their website. [ via Cloudbooker via eeesite]
