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.<br /><br />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 <span style="font-style: italic;">optional </span>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.<br /><br />The documentation also mentions a mentions a multitouch touchpad.<br /><br />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!<br /><br />[via <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/26/asus-9-inch-eee-pc-900-hits-the-fcc/">Engadget</a>]Brad Linderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18390619155094201350noreply@blogger.com
