This isn’t first-hand word from Asus, but Liliputing is reporting that a member of their readership got an extremely confident US release date from the Asus pre-sales department for both the Atom-based Eee PC 901 and 1000. And that date was July 8th—one day later than MSI’s Wind. We’ll let you know if we hear anything official from Asus on the matter. [liliputing]
