ASUS obviously knows when its on to a good thing and ever since the original Eee PC turned out to be a big hit, it has been working on building the line-up of products based on the sub-notebook. We already have a new version of the Eee in the form of the Eee PC 900, but now you can add the Digital Home System EP20 to that list. The EP20 will run the same Linux OS found on the original Eee and features audio output and Dolby Digital Live capability. Other specifications aren't clear at the moment but there are guesses that it may be powered by Intel Atom chips, or possibly Celeron to start with. Of course the most important thing about the EP20 is that it is small, as well as quiet (24db according to ASUS). You can expect it to hit the market sometime during Q2.
