New EEE PC model might open new markets

Asus put on display today a new, 9 inch model, EEE PC. No details are available about this new model yet though. Asus plans to hold a press event tomorrow in which more details should me announced.

From the pictures that have become available so far it is possible to tell that the new model will be only slightly larger when compared to the 7 inch model that has commanded such attention. If Asus is able to keep the price down as it introduces this new model, it should be an even bigger hit then the current generation EEE PCs.

One of the first things that impressed me when I saw the pictures is that the fact that the screen now pretty much fills in the entire area of the lid, the EEE now looks a lot more like the fully functional PC its always been. I imagine that this new perception should help the EEE break into new groups of users who might have discounted it before as being some sort of toy computer.
