ASUS SALES VP Kevin Lin has told Digitimes that the next iteration of the Eee PC will sport an 8.9-inch touchscreen panel and may have GPS capabilities built in (which could come in handy if you lose it down the back of the sofa).

The little lappy is expected to retail at around the $500 mark, whilst its desktop-dwelling big brother, the E-DT, will hit the shelves simultaneously this May or June priced at a measly $199.

RAM on the Eee will be bumped to 1GB and the SSD will be upgraded by 40 to 50 per cent. µ
