They come to confirm ongoing rumors

Yesterday we brought you news about two new Eee PCs, rumored to be released as substitutes to ASUS' current Eee PC 900 and 901 models. Apparently, some rumors turned out to be real, sooner than anyone imagined. On that note, today we bring you press photos of the yet unofficial Eee PC 904 and 905.

These photos have surfaced on the German website Eee PC News and apparently confirm yesterday's rumors about the two new Eee PC models. As a quick update, the Eee PC 904 and 905 are expected to boast the same 8.9-inch monitor as the Eee PC 900 and 901. According to the ongoing rumors, the two new Eee PCs aren't going to bring anything new except a larger keyboard. This means that the 904 and 905 models will also be powered by Intel's Atom processor, but ASUSTeK is said to be evaluating whether or not to improve the battery and storage capacity, with the release of these two new models.

For now, all we can make out of these photos is that the Eee PC 904 and 905 are going to provide a finger-friendly keyboard, improving the users' interaction with the devices. There are no other significant changes displayed in these photos, which means that until ASUS gets official with its new Eee PCs, we are left in the dark about the technical sheet of the netbooks. Even so, most users will enjoy a bigger keyboard, for the 8.9-inch Eee PC.

And because rumors drive interest to a certain product, the Eee PC news website has even displayed some photos of a possible Eee PC 903. But these images display an Eee PC 900 look-alike, which apparently sports an Intel Atom processor. Unlike the Eee PC 904 and 905 photos, the keyboard on this alleged Eee PC 903 netbook isn't as finger-friendly one.
