Those who are planning to hold out from from their next ultraportable laptop purchase may want to extend their waiting for a bit more. News is out that the second generation of Asustek's crowd favorite Eee PCs will hit the Taiwanese market this month.

So what can we expect from the next generation of these impressive tiny notebooks? The new Eees will be powered by the Intel's readily-available older-generation dual-core ULV processors, enabling Asus to ship the newer Eees around two months ahead of its original June launch.

The diminutive laptops will eventually be loaded with the Atom processors, the same kind which will be used by its rivals manufactured by Acer and Hewlett Packard, who will both release their own ultraportables next month.

No word is about concerning the second generation Eee PC's price, but you can bet that we'll keep tabs on it. Until then, stay tuned.
