Amid gasps from the audience, the Eee PC units were revealed to come in at an extremely competitive price of around sub PhP 15K for the 7in. units, and about PhP 20K for the 10in. version.
Coming Soooonnnnnnnn...our BIG apologies for posting an item without definite date (ETA).. .just for excited seeing the specs and pricing. . .AFTER LEARNING FROM A FRIEND who just got back from the latest Taiwan Computex
storage configurations as follow:
04MB Flash----------> 13,999.00 (kinda low, but yes ! it is only 4MB... internal)
08GB Flash ----------> 15,999.00
16GB Flash ----------> 17,999.00
addendum: please wait further for actual final configuration...
official words from our local distro to come out mid June 2007..."
Huh??? I thought the 16GB Flash will go for USD300. At an exchang rate of PhP46 to USD1, it will be priced at USD391.28 - almost USD100 above the projected list price. Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrh! Not an easy price to swallow. Well I am still excited about the specs. But the price? Hmmm. Gotta search the net more...

That's 4GB, not 4MB right?
Hi Carl,
The site says 4MB and I quoted it verbatim. But I am more inclined to believe it is 4GB, too.
Also, hardware (except for accessories and peripherals) prices in the Philippines tend to be higher than say US, Hong Kong, or Taiwan. It really shouldn't be so since Philippines is near the source of origin (China) and deliveries can be shipped directly.
Hopefully the quoted prices are not an indication that actual retail prices will be higher worldwide.
