Asus Eee PC X101: newly released MeeGo netbook

Engadget reports that ASUS are launching a slimline $200 netbook running MeeGo: ASUS is starting off its bevy of Computex announcements with the new Eee PC X101, a netbook that gives the 11-inch MacBook Air a run for its ultrathin money -- with a 950g weight and 17.6mm thickness -- while running either Windows 7 or... wait for it, Meego! The latter model will come out at the groundbreaking price of just $200. Check out its scarlet construction in the gallery below or jump past the break for our video hands-on. Given the netbook UX is considered "stable" (or "deprecated", depending to whom you speak), this is perhaps more of a curiousity piece. Also interesting is the announcement press release referring to "Intel MeeGo" <sigh/>.
