ASUS' Eee PC T91 convertible touchscreen netbook has cleared the FCC, and the team there have done their usual job of stripping the hardware down to its more wirelessly-active components and taking fuzzy photos of each.  It's heaven for would-be T91 upgraders, of course, as it allows them to start making a list of possible tweaks.

As expected, ASUS have announced new variants on the Eee PC 1008HA "Seashell"; unexpectedly, however, this isn't the 1005HAB as was tipped on the company's support site, but the ASUS Eee PC 1005HA-M and 10005HA-H.  The two new netbooks borrow the same sleek styling as the 1008HA, but pair it with removable batteries: a 2,200mAh good for 8hrs in the 1005HA-M, and a 2,800mAh good for 10hrs in the 1005-HA-5.
