Asus EeeBox B208 out in June (not official)
The Asus EeeBox B208 is rumored to be out in the wild in June, though no official statement coming from Asus yet. The B208 has been announced and intro’d to the public since ice age. It isn’t the first nettop by Asus but the first to have special video features that could handle high quality format graphics with the help of the dedicated ATI Radeon HD 4350 graphics card. It’s also the first to bring the power of Intel Atom 330 Dual Core. The said nettop will sport an HDMI port that will maximize the use of its high quality graphics card. It could be ported to an HDTV, coupled with a remote control and it will serve as your media player in the living room.

Eee Box B204/B206 = Excellent Home Computing and EntertainmentThe original Eee Box B202 is roughly just a half-year old, while Mother Asus is about to give birth again for a new twin. The twins B204 and B206 are very much identical to their older sibling, having same processors and network features, etc., except that they also acquired an extra gene from their new father which makes them grow an HDMI port from their rear. ATI Radeon HD 3400 series with 256MB DDR2 memory will also enhance their media decoding ability which also makes them capable of playing High Definition Videos in higher quality on High Definition TV. Apparently, the B204 inherits another gene from someone else which gives it a built-in battery which will keep it alive for a period of time when power is cut-off. Computingwise, this might still not be the best option for a desktop alternative, but will surely satisfy your normal computing needs. And entertainmentwise, this might not be as good as dedicated home entertainment system, but will surely keep your eyes happily awake watching your favorite movies. They will also come along with a remote control, which will help you instruct them to do things they are supposed to without even landing a single finger on them. Price and birth date is not yet confirmed, but I’m sure it wouldn’t take long. And oh, there’s also a new technology called Newborn Screening, and we hope that the new Asus babies undergo this process to prevent them from inheriting the virus their older sibling once have. Eee Box with Virus roots from China-based OEM
Due to lapses on quality measures on the said OEM, the incident happened, and AsusTek is considering to transfer future order of Eee Box to Foxconn Electronics or other OEM. Lesson learned, in anything we provide to others, consider the best quality, because it’s what we all want. Alert! Virus Found!Always happens when you least expect it, some Eee Box B202 delivered in Japan (we assume it’s Windows XP version) were reported to have “recycle.exe” virus, as a bonus perk for their new owners. AsusTek Japan has accepted this lapse and said that the virus spreads to drives including external drives once the folder is opened. As of the moment, there were no reports regarding Eee Box delivered to other countries. But be warned. via eeepc.net via NetworkWorld |
