Tim Stevens writes that according to DigiTimes, Asus will be releasing an 11.6-inch Eee netbook by the end of this month.
“But, with the 7-inchers relegated to their place in history, perhaps now the company has a little extra room on its production lines. No further information is available on the forthcoming model at this point, but we’re hoping that new screen will get a few more pixels to fill out its new-found girth.”

“Register Hardware’s discovered yet more information about the rumoured handset, including its name and a full specification list. Unconfirmed sources cited by Engadget claim to have discovered that the phone will be called Eos and measure somewhere in the region of 111 x 55 x 10.6mm. The yet-to-be-released Pré measures 100.5 x 59.5 x 16.9mm and has a slide-out keyboard which the Eos lacks. Equipped with quad-band GSM and HSDPA 3G support, the Eos will also feature a 2.6in, 320 x 400 touchscreen.”
