October’s Forecast Calls for Combination of Eee PCs & Moblin

Rumor has it that the first Eee PC pre-installed with the Moblin open source operating system will be available for purchase beginning in October of this year. Furthermore, there's another floating rumor that the company may even make this an option for all its notebooks sometime in the future.

And, as if that weren't exciting news enough, another rumor is that ASUS is working closely with Google to prepare for the deployment of the Chrome operating system on its computing devices. The deployment may occur not too far from the present.

ASUS has experimented with Moblin in the past, so these rumors may have an inkling of truth to them. But we'll still take them with a grain of salt. Hopefully, we'll know more about what the company is cooking up soon, and when we do, you can be sure that we'll let you know.
