Asus' Eee PC 1003HAG Atom Netbook To Include WWAN Support

For any of you Asian friends, who “anxiously” waited for yet another netbook to be released,  Asus is claimed to offer a fresh Eee PC version for Japanese users, starting on May 16th and priced at 69,800 yen ($720). The new 1003HAG will presumably pack the usual stuff, such as 10.1-inch display, Atom N280 processor, 1GB RAM, 160GB HDD, 802.11b/g/n WiFi connection, Bluetooth 2.1+EDR and 4.3-hours battery, but also an integrated wireless WAN module that supports NTT DoCoMo’s FOMA network with 7.2Mbps on the downlink. The last, will let you surf the internet from any place, anytime by adding an appropriate 3G sim card inside. However, if that’s not enough to justify the price, Asus will also provide black, white, or pink flavors to choose from.

Following Toshiba’s 8.9-inch NB100 netbook, we’ve already seen in the past, the company announces a new 10.1 inch version that carries the sequel title of NB200 and packs an Atom N270 processor or Atom N280, in case you’re into the optional specs. Other than that, the new model which suppose to make a European debut somewhere around May starting at $319, packs just about everything you know, like 1GB of RAM, 160GB HDD, 0.3 megapixels webcam, integrated 802.11 b/g WiFi/Bluetooth connections and three USB ports – all expected to work longer than usual, thanks to the claimed 9 hours battery Toshiba has added to each of the flavors you get to choose from (Black, White, Brown or Pink).

Update1: Checkout the video from MegaWhatTV after the break.

Update2: the guys at PortableMonkey have managed to put their hands on this pretty boy, checkout their full review in here.

Update3: Full specs after the break.

MSI's Wind U100 PLUS Atom N280 Netbook Is Claimed To Have 7 Hours Battery

If the U100 wasn’t enough, MSI tosses another netbook to the lineup, this time with a 1.66GHz Atom N280 processor inside, replacing the common N270 that we’re all familiar with. Other than that, the new Wind U100 PLUS packs a 10-inch 1,024 x 600 display, 160GB hard drive, up to 2GB of RAM, 945GMS chipset, three USB 2.0 sockets, VGA output, 4-in-1 multicard reader, WiFi, Bluetooth 2.0+EDR,  a 1.3 megapixel webcam and a 3-cell battery (optional 6-cell). But that’s not all folks  – we’re just getting to the most interesting part of this revelation, as MSI vigorously states that users will be able to achieve up to 7 hours of continuous work (!) with the standard 3-cell battery, which means up to 14 hours of work if you choose to integrate the 6-cell alternative (?). Obviously, it should be tested in the coming weeks before the winner is announced, and we sure hope to bring you the results, together with some fresh details about price and availability.

Asus To Boost Up Eee PC 1002H With Atom N280

Without any roaring announcements, ASUS has just rolled out a new version of the Eee PC 1002HA, featuring the same specs, only with an Atom N280 CPU, instead of the traditional N270. Besides that, the new 1002H (it’s all about the missing “A”) netbook packs a 10-inch LED-backlit display, 1GB of RAM, 160GB hard drive, a card reader, three USB 2.0 ports and a 1.3MP camera. Regretfully, we have no pricing or availability details, but in terms of design, you’ll be able to purchase this new version either in Black, Pink or Pearl White (our favorite flavor).

Update: Looking at the image, might let us think the new 1002H includes a chiclet keyboard inside (the kind you have in the new VAIO models),  but we can’t be 100% sure about it.
