• Although we already knew the 8.9-inch model was confirmed to be coming to market, the souped-up edition will also come with 8GB, 12GB or 20GB SSD options.

• Asus will move away from the VIA processors, instead adopting Intel's Atom platform in Q2, this year.

• Additional colors will be added to the current selection. However, those will not be the only cosmetic changes; Shen promised a "very stylish" makeover, which will have a "New York city sleekness" about it. He coined May or June as dates for the newer, potentially sexier Eee PC.

Shen speculated that Asus was playing with the idea of offering HDD versions of the Eee PC, too. Unfortunately, he did not go so far as to confirm any plans on that front. Nevertheless, it all sounds very promising—1024 x 600 resolution, bigger SSDs, Intel Atom and a face job; what more could you ask from your Sunday Eee PC fill?

Now for the details: Jerry is only buying one iPhone for himself instead of the two he is allowed. Unlike Packer, he doesn't get his jollies from waiting in lines. Actually, he just really wants the phone. Despite using a G3 Powerbook, Jerry claims he's quite the gadget freak. Yes, that's right, the first guy in line for an iPhone on the west coast only has a G3. And tonight he's getting a care package with a PS2, some board games, and a few fully charged laptop batteries. So there you have it. He's Jerry, he's first in line, and he's ready for his iPhone.
