Asus Computer General Manager Samson Shen stated that Asus plans to launch free services for users, including online data storage space. This service will be launched globally by the end of this year or the beginning of next year. One of the services involves providing 20G of free online storage space to consumers who purchase the Eee PC.
Samson Shen revealed that Asus is in negotiations with content providers, and the free downloadable resources will cover music, movies, education, and games. However, Samson Shen did not disclose the names of these content providers or other relevant details. He indicated that the plan aims to attract potential consumers who are concerned about the relatively small storage space of the Eee PC, and to make Asus's products more competitively differentiated.
Currently, the competition in the ultra-portable computer category like the Eee PC is very intense. Asus's move undoubtedly makes the Eee PC even more competitive.
