A rumor has been circulating the gadgets blogosphere for a couple of days regarding the launching of the new Asus Eee PC 900, the big brother of the original Asus Eee PC. Eee PC 900 would be getting an early launch next month in Asia but it looks like the US won’t have to wait very long either. Theres also some new info regarding the price, it seems the Asus Eee PC 900 will be available for 549$ and not for $500 as expected.

We’ll have to wait and see if people will buy it, but my personal opinion is that they wont rush to buy, its too damn expensive for its class.
