Liliputing: Asus finally puts out an Eee PC 900 press release

  • Jonathan · 1 year ago
    As an undergraduate student studying human computer interaction, it really irks me whenever people describe features as "rippped off" from an apple product just because the Apple product was the first thing they saw that had it. Here is a news flash: Apple invents very little. Two-finger interfaces have been around for many years on experimental multitouch devices, and that research has made its way into a product in the form of the iPhone. Apple absolutely did not invent it.

    (Also, Firefox did not invent tabbed browsing, the desktop GUI interface was invented by Xerox, and so on.)

    what about the price?

    No word on the US pricing yet, but it looks like the Eee PC will cost the equivalent of about $513 in Hong Kong and £329 in the UK, which is about $647 USD.
