MORE ASUS NEWS: “Asus informed us this evening that the Eee PC 900 will hit the store shelves in the U.S. on May 12th. The Linux and Windows XP loaded version of this 8.9″ version of the Eee PC will both cost $549.” I’d like to do a comparison with HP’s Mini-Note, which’ll be out about the same time, and around the same price. It’ll be available with XP, too, and I have to say it looks cooler for whatever that’s worth.
