The FCC has published a series of documents on the upcoming Eee PC 900, including a couple of topless photos of the next generation ultraportable laptop. You can also find instruction manuals and a few goodies like the above image which I have not altered. That's right, the document that Asus sent to the FCC clearly states that there's a Bluetooth module in the Eee PC 900.

As with the touchscreen, GPS, and other improvements we've been hearing about, I'm going to be conservative and assume that Bluetooth will be offered as an optional upgrade, not as a standard component. That would help keep the price of the base unit down while offering users the option of getting completely pimped out versions of the Eee PC 900 if that's what floats their boat.

The documentation also mentions a mentions a multitouch touchpad.

I'm running out the door right now, but if you find any other cool new features in these documents, let us know in the comments!

People have been adding slapping extra hardware inside the tiny Eee PC case pretty much since day one. But this has to be one of the most impressive Eee PC mods I've seen. Here's what one user managed to add to the insides of an Eee PC:

• 2 USB hubs to get a total of 6 working internal USB ports
  
• A GPS adapter and antenna
• A Bluetooth adapter
• An internal SD card reader for additional storage
• An additional 4GB flash memory drive
• A power switch to turn off the extra devices when not in use
• Updated the WiFi card to one that supports 802.11n
• An FM transmitter for playing music on the car stereo
• A working modem

The best part of this hack job? You can find detailed photos and instructions at the IVC Wiki.
