Apparently Asus has started shipping an Eee PC model preloaded with Windows XP in Korea. I have to admit, Google Translate didn't do a very good job with this article from French Eee blog, Blogeee, so I'm not going to get into the rest of the details. But it does appear to be just a matter of time until we see a Windows XP model in the US. Possibly just days, even.

Waiting for a low cost ultraportable computer that has a touchscreen? While Everex has said they plan to add a touchscreen to future models of the Cloudbook, the first batch of Cloudbooks has been receiving lukewarm reviews, mostly related to its software and odd trackpad. While it's not clear what operating system the upcoming Korean Sungjut TangoX Nano will sport, it does look like a pretty sexy little machine built using the same Via NanoBook reference design as the Cloudbook.

The TangoX will reportedly feature:

• 1.2 GHz Via C7-M ULV processor
• 1GB RAM
• 40 or 80GB hard drive
• 7-inch 800 x 480 pixel screen
• 4-in-1 card reader
• Ethernet, USB 2.0, WiFi, and DVI ports
• Removable SkypePhone
• A touchscreen

No word on pricing, availability, or whether we'll ever see the TangoX outside of Korea. But you can find a whole slew of sexy pictures at Akihabara News.
