Asus eBook not ready until next year

David Allen — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 11:00:51 +0000

When it was first announced at the CeBIT event the Asus eBook was expected to reach the stores by Xmas, but now it seems that will not be happening as the company has refocused the launch to take place in March 2010! There are still not many details around at the moment, but what do know is that there will be two versions, a six inch and a nine inch displays using the e-Ink system, duel screen and connectivity through 3G and Wi-Fi. Stand by though because we are expecting an announcement from Asus before the end of December. Source [Liliputing] a asus, ASUS Netbooks, ebook, launch 2010, Netbook Reviews, reader
