Asus posts X101 minisite; Windows 7 beats Meego battery life
Asus has added a minisite that covers the Eee X101 and X101H. Most of this information was already known, but the shocker is the battery life. All X101 and X101H models use the same 28 W/h 3-cell battery. The X101H has a VGA port, a spinning hard drive and ethernet. The X101 and X101H Meego both claim a 4 hour battery life, while the X101H with Windows 7 starter manages to get a fifth hour somehow. Many had speculated that Meego would be a major win for battery life.

Eee X101 is up for sale at CDW
We previously saw Directron offering the Eee X101 on preorder. Now the Eee X101 is at CDW, with the availability marked "call".
X101 X101H Bluetooth retrofit?
Based on the FCC teardown of the X101H, it looks like the X101H uses the Azurewave aw-nb047h combination WiFi B/G/N and Bluetooth card, available here. I'm getting the feeling that the bluetooth model won't be coming to the US, and this kind of connectivity would be a boon for such a portable machine. Hopefully, adding bluetooth to the Eee X101 will be straightforward for users.
