Asus Phasing out 7″ Netbooks, 8.9 inch not yet

Asus started their EEE PC line with an overwhelming welcome to 7 inchers. Later they come up with larger screens of 8.9 – 15″ including the Nettops. Now we have to admit that the first-gen EEE PC we loved will soon say its goodbyes. Asus will focus more on their larger netbooks and seems to phase out 8.9″ as well. Though not confirmed. I’m sure it’s all about business decision and we are well aware that 7″ nowadays are left behind mostly as compared to netbooks with larger screens. This decision is wise, and has a better chance of increasing sales on their other products as well.
