EeePC 900 launched in the UK today, with Ugly Ducklings

Asus officially launches the EeePC 900 in the UK today, in several colours, including pink, blue and black. To mark the event, Asus is running an online "spin the wheel" competition with a first prize of an Eee PC 700 running Windows, preloaded with Windows Live.

There's also a promotion with the film, The Ugly Duckling and Me (on DVD from June 16). Asus says that on the Tottenham Court Road, London, today (May 1) there will be "a huge EeePC mascot and two larger-than-life lead characters from The Ugly Duckling and Me, Ratso and Ugly -- a fantastic photo opportunity for any snappers in the area."

To enter the May 1st competition, take a picture with the EeePC man and send to eeepc@asus-uk.com for your chance to win the DVD and other fantastic ASUS products as prizes.


Any citizen journalists in the area are welcome to report back, as is anyone who manages to buy a PC 900. I'm assuming that there must be some for sale....
