Eee PC 904 and 905 on the way?

Asus Eee PC 1000Murmurs appearing on Taiwanese site Digitimes are suggesting that Asus is about to launch two new Eee PCs that fuse the current 900 series with the new 1000 (pictured).

By keeping the same 8.9in screen of the 900 but placing it in 10.2in the body of the 1000, Asus hopes to create two inexpensive 8.9in models with more practical, larger keyboards.

The 904 and 905, as they've been dubbed, would get Intel Atom processors, and possibly larger batteries and greater storage.

Oddly, Digitimes sees them as eventually replacing the current 900 and 901 models, which seems a somewhat bizarre move as it would leave Asus without a true 8.9in sized laptop. Happy times for the competition should that happen.
