The ASUS Eee PC, currently available in 4GB black and white versions, is about to be joined by two new editions, according to various sources. Online retailer Dynamism claims that it will have the promised 8G Eee before the end of December, at a price of $499; this will include not only an expansion to 8GB of storage, but also a doubling of RAM to 1GB. There is as yet no sign of an Eee with a 10-inch screen, hinted at by the Austrian press.

A Chinese website, meanwhile, claims to have captured photos of a separate Eee, featuring a light-green lid but an otherwise standard white casing. This is expected to ship sometime in 2008, along with pink and sky-blue models.
