There’s no word yet on a release date or pricing.
Thank you for this article. I haven’t looked at the Eee Note since its unveiling due to the lack of information regarding its specifications. It’ll be quite interesting to have such a device for school.
this really looks interesting, does any one has more info on the release date or price?
I don’t think they’ve given a release date yet, but it looks like it will be released in Europe first for something like £169.
