With not much longer before the Eee PC 901 is expected to hit the market, the latest reports are claiming that Asus has chosen to drop the option for built-in WiMAX. Up till now we are still awaiting the official specs to come from Asus, however as always rumors have been trickling in, the latest removes the WiMAX support.

What we can confirm is that the Eee PC 901 will feature an 8.9-inch display, Bluetooth and the ‘fancy’ metal trim around the trackpad and hinges. With the constant delays of WiMAX we cannot help to think that Asus has made a smart move, even with the recent the recent WiMAX deal the coverage would be so limited that it still would not be worth it. Asus is however planning to still integrate WiMAX into their future 14.1 and 15.4-inch notebooks.
