“Asus announced the Eee Note EA800 in June under the name Eee

revealed that the Eee Tablet might undergo a name change to Eee
Note, and would start selling in October for about $300.

“Asus may have missed its ship date by over a month, but the
price is lower than expected, according to an IDG News story. The
Eee Note will be available in Taiwan later this week for the
suggested retail price of NT$6,999 ($228), says today’s
report.”
