ASUS gave us a few more revelations about the T91, both through BIOS updates and owners manual downloads, recently posted on their site.

First, a BIOS update (0403) claims to remove FM radio support. Is this a dropped feature? Apparently so. The manual explains that Fun Touch, part of the Eee Docking Touch Toolbar, includes “Internet Radio”, and there is no mention of FM radio as a feature. So it looks like a cheap Internet solution (Pandora, anyone?) was a bit more economical than including a dedicated FM receiver. Either that or it was an FM transmitter, something the FCC has been recently cracking down on. I guess we will never know.

While there was mention of a TV tuner and TV antenna port, there was absolutely no mention of 3G or GPS. There was also no mention of multitouch (screen) gestures in the touch section.

This further supports the recent news that various T91 models will be available. Supposedly the T91 base model will ship out with a standard single-touch screen and Windows XP. Then when Window 7 is released, the multitouch T91A version will come out, possibly with a TV tuner (if it’s not shipping as a standard feature on all models). And finally, the T91GO (or T91A-GO), which will supposedly have all the features, plus 3G support.
