Details leaked earlier this year and officially launched by mid of April, Asus Eee PC 900’s mere announcement took the world by storm. Hong Kong and Taiwan saw the first units of the 8.9-inch still diminutive laptop, while the rest of the world continues to suit. Among the purported release dates we’ve seen before, Australia was rumoured to have had a late April or early May release date. Now, after an excruciating half a month later, we’re presented with the official details of Asus Eee PC 900’s Australian release.

It’s now confirmed that the Asus Eee PC 900 will be available in Australia this May, 2008.

So the ASUS Eee PC 900 has been spotted at what looks like an End-of-April ASUS pot luck dinner.

This black ASUS Eee PC 900 is more evidence that one of 2008’s most anticipated ultra-portables is not too far away at all! According to ASUS Australia, it is scheduled for official release here at the start of Q2 which I thought was April 1st? Maybe he meant early May.
