這乳摸還 沒摸個半天，就已經得到確認了。據華碩行銷副總 Kevin Lin 所言，即將在五月到六月間上市的第二代 EeePC 將內建 8GB 或 12GB 的 SSD，並且將使用觸控式面板。但一個傳聞剛被打下來，另一個傳聞又出現了 -- 這位副總同時提到了「可能支援 GPS」，讓我們的心又再次被吊了起來。第二代 EeePC 預定售價 500 美元（可惡，我們的 200 美元筆電呢 = =），同時準備上市的還有 $200 美元的 Eee 桌電。

Asustek to roll out second-generation Eee PC with touchscreen panels and possibly GPS support in May or June

Monica Chen, Taipei; Greg Wu, DIGITIMES [Wednesday 26 March 2008]

Asustek's 8.9-inch second-generation Eee PC lineup will include touchscreen panels and possible GPS support, with shipments expected to begin in May or June, according to Kevin Lin, vice president of Asustek's sales department. Pricing is projected to reach NT$15,000 (US$500), Lin added.

The company is also looking to ship its E-DT (desktop PC) priced at US$199 at the same time, according to Lin.

The company aims to ship up to five million Eee PCs in 2008 through retail channels and contract orders combined, with quarterly retail-only shipments expected to total 650,000-700,000 units, according to the company. The device is seeing a 50% supply shortage in the Taiwan and Hong Kong regions and 70% worldwide in the first quarter of 2008.

Lin also pointed out that the company currently is facing a battery shortage for its Eee PCs due to a fire at a plant of LG Chem earlier this month but expects to solve the battery shortage in the second quarter of this year.

The 8.9-inch Eee PC will adopt Intel's low-cost notebook platform and the lowest memory capacity will be upgraded from 512MB to 1GB, while the SSD (solid state drive) capacity will be upgraded from 4-8GB to 8-12GB, according to industry sources.
