I had posted about the bigger screen sized eee's to be released...

...but I didn't know that they were already working on touch screen versions. Too bad in all of the articles there is no mention that any model will have rotatable screens or fold all the way back so they can be used in a tablet form factor... seems like a waste of the the touch screen not to allow for that.

I'd imagine the touchscreen would be used in portrait mode - swivel hinges like that are $$$.
