Multi-touch ASUS Eee PC T91MT and T101P leaked

Update: ASUS Eee PC T91MT was confirmed a few weeks ago and is now up for purchase on Amazon.

An industry insider has just leaked the roadmap for the upcoming line-up of ASUS Eee PC products for the next year. Apart from several new Eee PCs, it contains news on the future of the ASUS Eee PC T91.

Apparently ASUS has not decided to scrap the T91 altogether but instead follow it up with a multi-touch version, called the T91MT (not the T91A as reported before). It sports a 32Gb SSD (solid state drive) and its price will be at $549 or around EUR 399.

Additionally, the roadmap also contains the Asus Eee PC T101P. This is the first time we hear it being called P instead of H. Does the P stand for the Intel PineTrail spec? We’ll hear later. The T101P will be released in 2010. Under the hood, it will sport a standard Atom N450 processor, Pine Trail and running Windows 7. That sounds like a winner to us!

“Netbook offering will be reduced to 1008HA, 1005HA, T91, T101H” says Asus UK

The number of different Asus Eee PC netbooks is staggering. With complex model numbers it becomes confusing for customers and makes it difficult to choose one. Therefore Asus has decided that it will phase out all of its netbook models except for the Seashell 1008HA, the Seashell 1005HA and the T91 (and T91GO) and T101H tablet netbooks. The best-selling 1000HE (known for its 10-hour battery life) will be phased out first and replaced by the 1005HA. It is a dramatic step for Asus to phase out one of its best-selling models, apparently they have a strategy made they want to follow now. What that strategy is, we can only guess.

Asus T91 launches in UK: hands-on review, new photos

The Asus Eee PC T91 has finally landed in the UK. The touchscreen works great with a stylus but not so great to control with just fingers. Included in the T91 package is Asus’ Magic Desktop which needs improvement and might be the reason for the sluggish response with fingers. The model looks great with a black glossy finish and the just as glossy screen.

Check out the entire review.

Asus T91 cleared by FCC, shows new photos of internals

FCC has just given the Asus T91 clearance to be sold in the US. The FCC clearance documents show us many new photos of the tablet netbook.

As you can see, the T91 does not have a user-removable battery, which is unfortunate.

The T91’s RAM is upgradeable to 2GB from the standard 1GB. It has dual SSD card reader. One is for normal usage and one is for disk expansion, to create more internal storage.

There is a SIM card slot on the GPS chip, it seems to be possible to replace the GPS chip with a 3G chip, enabling the mobile functionality of the T91.

No news from the FCC about the Asus T101H though, we hope to see that one cleared by the end of June.
