JKKMobile and netbooknews are reporting on a new Eee PC X101 Meego netbook spotted at Computex today.
It’s thin, driven by an SSD, has an App Store and is likely to be built on the Oaktrail platform although that’s not confirmed yet. Update: We’re hearing it’s based on an N435 CPU! Stay tuned for confirmation of that.
There’s no indication of launch date or price either so we’ll have to wait for the reporters out in Computex to see what they can find out. What we do know is that the X101 will be targeted at government and education with a launch price of around $199

I’m hearing that the new EEE PC is using Atom N435 CPU. I don’t know if that’s a typo or not, but that’s definitely Pine Trail.
I noted shortly after post you edited the article for CPU info. Netbooknews is saying the N435 isn’t a typo and is a low cost, 1.33GHz chip.
Sounds about right now that we know it’s headed for government and education. Slightly disappointing.
woot, this is really interesting! :D
Is that only a 3cell battery?
Highly likely! I’m surprised its not a sealed unit given the target markets.
