Asus will release three versions of the Asus Eee PC T91

As interested in multitouch as allways I noticed the ASUS announcement and I'm glad I did not yet buy my netbook since the T91A will be my choice when it is made available in The Netherlands (and prices affordable). Let's hpe the A version will have a GPS and 3G connection as well:

An ASUS UK representative told AsusTablet.com that Asus will release three versions of the Asus Eee PC T91. We already knew about the T91GO which enables 3G, GPS and a digital TV features. In addition to the standard T91 (with a single-touch screen) and T91GO (or T91go), there will be the T91A. This model will be the only one to hold a multi-touch screen. It is not clear if this last version will or will not include the options of the T91go too or if there will be a fourth model (T91Ago), which includes both a multi-touch screen and 3G, GPS and a TV tuner.

An interesting point to note is that the T91A will weight about 0.06 kg more than the standard T91. This is because of the chips installed.

Here’s a line up of the specifications for the different models:
