NEWS: 3 March 2008 13:09 GMT by Katie Scott CeBIT starts tomorrow but already rumours and pictures are flying from blog to tech site. And here's an exciting one for all of you fans of that dinky device - the Asus Eee. Engadget has got pictures of what appears to be a 7 inch R70a UMPC at the Asus CeBIT stand. They suggest it has Vista tucked inside a 120GB disk, and a 1.6GHz Intel processor, but didn't have a chance to pull it apart to figure out what type. On the outside, it has two USB jacks, a memory card slot, kickstand for watching videos, and controls in line with the 5-inch R50a. And, judging from the pics, integrated GPS is being mooted as an option. Keep watching this space.
