This one's been a long while coming, but as of today, Asus is now shipping its Eee PC Seashell 1005PR netbook that was first shown off during CeBIT earlier this year.
Not much has changed since the last time Asus talked up its 1005PR. The 10.1-inch netbook still sports an Intel Atom N450 processor, 250GB hard drive, Bluetooth 2.1+EDR, three USB ports, a 0.3MP webcam, and an embedded HD Decoder Broadcom BCM 70015 chip.
"Broadcom's latest Crystal HD technology puts HD multimedia in the hands of netbook users allowing them to access their favorite content anywhere at any time," said Dan Eiref, Vice President and General Manager of Broadcom’s Consumer Electronics line of business. "The Broadcom Crystal HD solution brings a unique value to ASUS netbooks, providing a new level of performance and power consumption at a market leading price point."
Asus has priced its latest Seashell at $400.

Wish they'd hurry up and release the damn UL20at already. Why the hell do they wait so long after announcing their products to actually ship them?
