ASUS Eee PC, the Foleo that could, sells a boatload of units
ASUS has exceeded their own expectations in selling the Eee PC. They sold a whopping 350,000 units in the last quarter. That’s roughly half the number of Treo smartphones sold in the last period. That’s good news for Palm’s Foleo, when it ships. There’s definitely a demand for low-cost, well-made sub-notebook computers. The bad news is, by the time the Foleo ships, ASUS would have pretty much covered all the market with new, cheaper, and better versions. ASUS is not resting on its laurels, launching new variations on the flagship 4GB model, so they have versions at 2GB and 8GB, with/without webcam, etc. Don’t forget that there are a number of competitors already gearing up to launch products with the same form factor / price point.
Did you get an Eee PC for the holidays?
