EeePC First Birthday Sale Figures..More to Come

In an interview with Laptop magazine, ASUS CEO Jerry Shen shared the sales figure of the EeePC netbook and future plans of the EeePC line, the iconic inexpensive small laptop that has created a new successful class of computing devices that many have failed.

Shen  shared the following in the hour long interview:

• Four million Eee PCs have been sold to date. He plans to reach the goal of 5 million Eee PC sales by the end of 2008.
• Touch-enabled Eee PCs are on the way and will be here by early 2009. Shen didn’t share the details of the form factor, though he said they are exploring a convertible mode and a regular laptop form for touch-enabled Eee PCs. They will also run Windows 7 as early as mid-2009. Prices ranging from $250 (yay!) to $700
• Several skus of the Eee PC give customers numerous choices and allow them to find the Eee PC that best fits their needs.
• The Eee Family continues to grow with the EeeTop this month (that has an Easy Mode for Windows XP) and more products that will be announced at CES in January 2009.
