ASUS Eee PC 1008HA “Shell” clears FCC
The ASUS Eee PC 1008HA “Shell” netbook has passed through the FCC , on the way to what we hope is an imminent release in the US. Announced at CeBIT back in March , the Eee PC 1008HA is an ultra-thin 25.7mm netbook with an Intel Atom N280 1.66GHz processor, 160GB hard-drive and 1GB of RAM. As for its FCC certification, that’s for the 1008HA’s WiFi b/g/n chipset; the netbook will also have Bluetooth, together with optional UMTS/HSDPA or WiMAX connectivity. Not bad for something that weighs just 1.1kg despite the 10-inch 1024 x 600 display and predicted 5hr runtime. No official pricing for the US ASUS Eee PC 1008HA has been announced, but we’re expecting to see the “Shell” go for around £359 in the UK. That would work out to a roughly $511 in the US. It’s expected to hit Europe this month

UMID M1 dissect shows HSPA challenge
When they’re not trying to bless the Viliv S5 with HSDPA , the guys at UMPC Fever are dissecting the UMID M1 ‘mbook’ to try to do something similar . If you thought the S5 was a challenge – soldering in a new mini PCIe connector, changing the storage – then prepare for what the UMID folks have set up for hapless modders: a combination of very little space and missing controller chips. In the second photo in the gallery below, the green rectangle shows where the SIM slot would normally be; that gives an idea of the sort of scale we’re talking about inside the ultra-compact clamshell MID. The red rectangle is where a 54-pin mini PCIe connector would have to be soldered into place, and – most frustratingly – the yellow section is where a controller chip should be. Without details of which controller UMID had in mind for the M1, it’s going to be tricky picking the right HSPA hardware to fit. Even then, there’s actually not enough room for a standard HSPA module near the SIM slot anyway, meaning it’ll have to be positioned elsewhere and wired in (with antenna cabling, of course). Right now it’s not looking good, and it’s disappointing news to anyone in the US who imported a Korean M1 thinking they could use, or switch out, the Korean-spec 3G to US-spec .
