Asus releasing Moblin Eee PC in October?

Asus is planning on releasing an Eee PC netbook that comes pre-installed with the Moblin operating system according to Sascha over at NetbookNews.de.

He confirmed that it will not be a new model and is likely to be found in the company’s Seashell range of Eee PC netbooks. There’s no confirmation of price or exactly which regions these new models will be availale in, but Sascha says that it should be out by October.

He also says that Asus is working very closely with the Google Chrome OS developer team in Taipei. He’s planning on visiting them next week, so maybe we’ll find out some more information about Google’s plans then.
