1001ha1 Asus Eee PC 1001HA gets official; not coming to US?

Started a few days ago pictures of a new Eee PC 1001HA model floating around the web. At first glance, looked at the netbook as a minor modification of the popular Eee PC 1005HA. And sometimes the first impression is correct. Asus has have a manual for the netbook to upload their support site and read the first page “Eee PC User’s Guide for Windows XP edition Eee PC 1005 1001 Series.”

Asus has also an official product page on the Chinese portal. From this page we have learned that the Eee PC 1001HA has a 10.1-inch display. 160GB hard drive, 802.11n WiFi, a 92% full-size keyboard, and weighs 2.4 kilograms. The only significant difference between the Eee PC 1001HA and 1005HA is that the 1001HA has a textured pattern on the lid and palm rest, while the 1005HA has a smooth, shiny surface.

I see no information on the battery, so I do not know if the Eee PC 1001HA, the same 10.5 hours battery as the Eee PC 1005HA-PU1X, who found 8.5 battery in the Eee PC 1005HA VU1X, or has 5 hours of battery of the Eee PC 1005HAB.
