Apparently the Eee PC 900 will come in black, as well as white. I’m shocked. Shocked I tell you! But seriously, I don’t think anyone doubted that the next generation Eee PC would be available in black, white, and eventually several more pastel colors, just like its younger brethren, the Eee PC 701 line.

But that didn’t stop Engadget, Gizmodo, and a few dozen other tech sites from posting Flickr images of the first black Eee PC 900 spotted in the wild. And by wild, I mean someone apparently took a unit out for dinner, ordered the fish, and then posted the photos to Flickr. The folks at EeeUser should get credit for the find. But seriously, it looks exactly like the white Eee PC 900 we’ve come to know and love. But you know, it’s black.

If that’s the sort of thing that floats your boat though, you should probably check out a post at French site Blogeee with a bunch of decent resolution press shots of the black Eee PC.
