In case anyone of you is not yet aware of all the filth and squalor surrounding the Asus press department(and why we didn’t have access to an eeePC sample) – apparently, the eeePC’s success has awakened allmightyness fantasies in the heads of some employees of their German PR agency.

As I am not a big friend of the xyz allmighty films, I report with some satisfaction that Acer is setting out to topple over the eeePC’s dominance.

DigiTimes(usually a reliable source) claims that Acer is planning an UMPC of its own; and plans to outprice the next-generation eeePC by approximately 50$(while offering the same components).

Even though Acer’s customer care has proven problematic in the past, I nevertheless welcome every bit of competition in the laptop market – may the prices fall fast…
