I'd take this with a grain of salt for now, but a person who claims to work in the PC industry has posted an image of an Asus roadmap for existing nad upcoming Eee PC models. In a nutshell, three new products will reportedly be launched in the fourth quarter of 2009, right around the time Windows 7 is released on October 22nd:
Asus Eee PC 1201N
This model will reportedly have a 12 inch display, 1.6GHz Intel Atom N270 CPU and NVIDIA ION graphics. It will also have a 250GB hard drive, 2GB of RAM, a 6 cell battery, 802.11b/g/n WiFi, and Bluetooth and run about $499. The computer will reportedly run Windows 7 Home Premium.
Asus Eee PC 1005HA-P (updated)
This netbook would replace the existing Eee PC 1005HA-P series. In most respects, it's the same computer, but th enew model would have a higher capacity hard drive and ship with Windows 7 Starter Edition. It would have a 10.2 inch screen, 1.66GHz Intel Atom N280 CPU, 250G hard drive, 1G of RAM, and a 6 cell, 10.5 hour battery. It also comes with Bluetooth and 802.11b/g/n WiFi and will reportedly sell for about $399.
Asus Eee PC 1005HA-M (updated)
The model would overlap with the current Eee PC 1005HA-V, which may not be phased out for a while. The 1005HA-M would have most of th esame specs, including a 6 cell, 8.5 hour battery, 1.6GHz Intel Atom N270 CPU, and 1GB of RAM. But the 1005HA-M would also have a 250GB hard drive and ship with Windows 7 Starter. The netbook would also have 802.11b/g/n WiFi, but there's no mention of Bluetooth. It will reportedly cost about $349.
