Title: The next wave of Netbooks?
Post by: Nemesis on January 09, 2009, 02:39:59 pm

Asus is apparently demoing (http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2009/01/08/asus_eee_t91/) a eeePC with touch screen and the ability to rotate the screen into tablet mode.

Intel is demoing (http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2009/01/09/ces_intel_launches_convertible_netbook/) a new version of the Classmate with the same abilities but aimed at children.  This is a  "reference" design intended to be built by other companies.

So it begins to look like the next generation of netbooks will have touch screens and be able to function as tablets.  I do wonder how it will affect the price.
