For about $100 you can transform your Eee 900HA into an UMPC with a touchscreen. Or you can wait for Asus to release the T91 Tablet next month. On the Eee User Forum they show you a step by step tutorial on how to add a touchscreen. All you need is a solder less touchscreen kit, some tape, extra wires, a plastic card, a a small screw driver. Sounds pretty simple to do and a Eee 900HA will only run you about $320. Here a link to that tutorial.

Pictures have leaked of the Asus Eee PC 701SDX prices at a very low price of $300. Asus Eee PC's are going back to how they began by making affordable netbooks. The pictures reveal an upgraded chassis and a missing webcam (featured on the 701SD). I can do with out the webcam for a 7-inch netbook for only $300. We will have to wait to see how low Asus will go.
