var digg_url = ‘http://digg.com/hardware/Atom_based_Eee_PC_901_pops_June_3rd_with_Bluetooth_for_650′; June’s shaping up to be a pretty special month ’round here. In addition to whatever Apple’s got up its sleeve and all the new gear set to announce at Computex, Asus will be launching its Atom-based Eee PC 901 just like we heard. June 3rd is the day for “a price below” $650. We assume that means $649.99. DigiTimes‘ dependable market channel sources claim the 8.9-inch 901 will plus feature Bluetooth for the first duration (you know, without a hack) while the rest of

the tech specs remain the same. That’s $250 more than the 10-inch, Atom-based, MSI Wind running Linux and launching on the same day. Oh ASUS, what have you done?

Update: To be fair, it could be that the $650 Eee PC 901 model runs XP and the Linux-based Eee PC 901 will sell for (a lot) less — the XP-flavor of the MSI Wind costs within $500 and $549.
