Tiny Asus eeePC Gets Tiny Add-Ons
Asus has never been a high visibility company in the world of laptops or PCs -- until recently, that is. With the release of the tiny EeePC, Asus became an instant celebrity in the computer world.
The PC maker is now trying to milk its hit ultraportable for all it's worth. At this year's CeBIT (a large technology trade show) in Germany, Asus is showing off a collection of Eee-themed accessories. The add-ons aren't anything revolutionary, but they do give even more regular-computer functionality to the nicely-priced mini-PC.
The new eeePC peripherals include a VOIP (Voice Over IP) USB handset for Internet calling, a Wi-Fi access point, a slim external DVD-RW drive (since the eeePC doesn't come with a built-in one), a confusingly large USB HSDPA cellular modem (for getting online anywhere there's a cell phone signal), a TV tuner, USB mice, and headphones -- all made to match the toy-like white (or black) plastic of the Eee.
Pricing or availability haven't been announced, but we'll be sure to keep you posted.
