ASUS has announced that Myer has lost its exclusive position as the only retailer of the Eee PC in Australia. ASUS will now sell the bargain priced sub-notebook through Betta Electrical, David Jones, Good Guys, Harvey Norman, JB Hi-Fi, Myer, Officeworks, Retravision and WOW Sight & Sound.

For comparison, you can now buy (at time of writing) full featured acer laptops in Australia for less than $600 after cashback, or for the kids, refurbished IBM thinkpads for $350, compared to $499 for the Asus eee pc.
