From its launch in early November 2007 Asus says the Eee PC has sold over 1 million units globally.

The screen size increases from the original model's 7-inches to 8.9-inches, RAM grows from 512MB to 1GB, supported with larger storage of up to 20GB while battery life is 3.5 hours and weight stays below a kilo.

It's not clear which CPU will be included, because the 1st batch which will be released in Taiwan this month will include Intel's older-generation dual-core ULV processors.

The Asus Eee PC 900 will launch in the UK market on 1 May 2008 priced from £329, according to Pocket-lint.
