Sub-10in Eee PC no more

Yes dear readers, Asus will eventually let go all 7 incher and 8.9 incher netbooks. They will focus more on their 10 incher ones, but this is not happening just so sudden. It will happen little by little in 2009, according to Digitimes. Asus did not mention about when the support for sub-10inchers will end, but I am guessing they will continue it for at least 2 years after the phase out.

Comes with this might be worried customers that the Eee PC will be even more expensive. Worry not because Asus also announced that they target to launch $200 netbooks in 2009. As they have told about the phase out, shall we hope that these $200 netbooks are 10 incher? This might be good news if only this is true.
