An 8.9" ASUS Eee PC is theoretically possible

While Asustek has confirmed an 8" ASUS Eee PC, there are rumors over at Gizmodo that they'll pack an 8.9" ASUS Eee PC into the little case. Now, given that the ASUS Eee PC's case dimensions are 8.9" by 6.5".  Thus, at a maximum, the screen size could be up to

sqrt(8.9^2 + 6.5^2) = 11.0"

Of course, the screen size won't take up the full diagonal.  So let's leave 1" diagonal for the margins, then the ASUS Eee PC could have a screen size of 11" minus 1" minus 1", or 9".

In short, a diagonal of 8.9" is theoretically possible.
