Asustek Computer is planning to launch two Eee PCs the S101 and S91 under its new Ultimate segment, which focuses on high quality and ultra slim designs, according to channel sources.

Additionally, the company is planning to launch four models for its Pro Fashion segment including the 1000HV.

Pro Fashion and Ultimate models are all expected to see prices over NT$20,000 (US$649.31) with a chance to hit NT$30,000 for some models, added the sources.

This article should satisfy those who might want to build a low power FM transmitter. It is designed to use an input from another sound source (such as a guitar or microphone), and transmits on the commercial FM band – it is actually quite powerful, so make sure that you don’t use it to transmit anything sensitive – it could easily be picked up from several hundred metres away.

The FM band is 88 to 108MHz, and although it is getting fairly crowded nearly everywhere, you should still be able to find a blank spot on the dial.

NOTE: A few people have had trouble with this circuit. The biggest problem is not knowing if it is even oscillating, since the frequency is outside the range of most simple oscilloscopes. See Project 74 for a simple RF probe that will (or should) tell you that you have a useful signal at the antenna. If so, then you know it oscillates, and just have to find out at what frequency. This may require the use of an RF frequency counter if you just cannot locate the FM band.
