Rumor: Asus Plans on Expanding Eee PC with Hard Drive and Other Accessories
Posted 07/25/08 at 03:21:04 PM by Paul Lilly
Asus' Eee PC is quickly becoming the iPod of the ultraportable market, and if the latest rumor turns out to be true, it will even have an assortment of accessories to go along with the low power notebook. According to German site Eee PC News, Asus will soon add an attractive looking external hard drive that connects via USB. But that's not all. The site also shows photos of an external optical drive and a 3G connection card called the T500, which also looks to fit into a USB port.
If true, add the peripherals to the growing list of Eee branded products. And if not, props to a damn convincing Photoshop job.

So, let me get this right. They make this "ultra protable" device, low cost, for the masses. Now your going to add stuff that is apart from this to make up what it lacks from normal laptops. Now you need more counter or lap space to place these things that could have just come with a mid-range laptop in the first place that would have been internal. I really dont get it.

An Eee PC with a 3G connection would be fantastic. That is the one thing that would put me over the fence and buy one. It would be great to have that kind of broadband portability without going the route of smartphone and for the price. I hope this rumor is more than just a rumor.
