Asus' Atom-based Eee PC 901 will come bundled with Bluetooth in addition to the new case design that emerged last week. But it won't have WiMax as standard. Taiwanese website DigiTimes claimed that moles had told it Asus is aiming the Eee-oriented WiMax module at contract customers - essentially, service providers who will offer Eee PCs as part of or alongside their WiMax airtime packages - rather than individual buyers.

Bluetooth on the other hand has been requested by almost anyone with a mobile phone so it's about damn time they integrated it into the machine (the modules are dirt cheap too so it's strange that they didn't give the option earlier on).
Anyway, apart from the price the 901 is really an attractive machine. I may just switch my 701 for this if they lower the price slightly, or if the Atom really does prove to be that much better.
