Asus Eee PC: Could Steal the Show at the CeBIT

Fans of the Eee PC from Asus have definitely been excitingly awaiting the German electronics conference, the CeBIT. It has long been expected that the manufacturer would use the occasion to introduce innovations to their successful mini-PC. Now we know from a press conference that representatives of Microsoft and T-Mobile will be present as well. Many fans and journalists have put two and two together and are now pretty sure what the huge innovations will entail.

The simple equation goes as follows: Microsoft equals Windows, T-Mobile equals UMTS. In bold letters: The Eees were previously delivered with a Linux system and could not get online over the mobile network by themselves. It makes sense, that the makers of the most successful operating system and support for fast, mobile internet would then find a place on the small computers. Eee fans have especially long awaited support for standard HSDPA, which enables broadband speeds while mobile. We will know more on March 4th when the CeBIT begins.
