Rev 2 of Eee: Put a twist hinge on that screen so it can fold over the keyboard, make the unit thinner — oops, instant death of Sony Reader and amazon Kindle. They can then call them Eeebooks.

However, you didn’t mention this Q&A, which I thought was interesting….

Q: Will Asustek outsource the Eee PC and branded notebook products to outside OEMs after the spin-off of Pegatron and Unihan in January?

A (Tseng): Currently, the Eee PC and branded notebook products are both manufactured by Asustek and during the initial stages of the spin-off the products will be outsourced to Pegatron. However, in the long-term outsourcing to outside OEMs is the natural direction for a branded vendor.
