I'm sure you've seen them - just about every man and his dog seems to have bought an Eee lately. A lot of people seem to be modding in touchscreens - which I think is a really cool idea, and makes it much more usable (personally I think the touchpad, no matter how sensitive, is far too small to use properly).
Asus have now announced that they will be releasing Eee PCs with 8" and 8.9" screens - which I think is a good move, since the existing 7" screen looks as though it's swimming in an ocean of wasted space. What surprises me, especially given the number of people modding them in, is that they have not announced a touchscreen version. Also, the 8" version will have the same resolution as the 7" version - it would have been good for them to knock it up a notch; I certainly hope they do for the 8.9" version.
If Asus can pull off an 8.9" touchscreen with a decent resolution, with decent battery life, I'll be very tempted to buy one - and I'm sure many other people who are currently interested, but not enough to buy one, will be too... I'd say it'll increase sales quite nicely if they get it right.
