Asus Eee PC
Anyway back to Eee. Like I said it looks really good and with a price predicted of around USD199-300.00 it will be quite popular.
I guess the Eee will be trying to compete with the Palm Foleo, the VIA so called 'NanoBook', the Intel 'Edu-Wise' and of course the MIT OLPC .

- Communication: 10/100 Mbps Ethernet; 56K modem
- WLAN: WiFi 802.11b/g

I have just ordered one of these that I plan to use with my mobile broadband.
Problem is, I've never seen one in person. It may be a case of once I've actually seen it I may not like it.
But I figured it was light, has good battery life, and wifi, and quick flash disk "hard drive" which are all great things, although I must admit I know little about Linux so things that are simple such as removing USB devices I have no idea about, along with things like will my printer work with it?? These simple things may lead me to regret buying one.
Does anyone know where I can download a manual in English. I would be so grateful to get one!

Hey Comradehunt,, did you get your EEE? I have read elsewhere that mobile broadband is NOT supported & I'm looking into that. May make it a dealbreaker for my mother who needs a simple device like this...

The worldwide sales of this machine show it is something more than the Windows CE based HP Jornada 820.
It can be a lot of different things to different people.
As a computer for non PC people it is an easy fast use appliance to get you sending emails, getting on the web and writing letters.
For the more advanced user it can run XP Prof with a few things cut out and provide a surprisingly good other computer.
I love my XP eee except for the colour.
Roll on black!

I have one. In fact, im using it now to write this.
So far my impression of it, is thats its small. half the size of a laptop, so i can barely get my fingers to some of the keys when typing quickly... Its also preinstalled with some version of linux, That is a bit of a bother, because its slightly harder to find programs to run on it. Most of what I use is on my desktop pc, all win32 apps... no good on this. after a winXP install on it (using a usb cd-rom) i'v decided that the 4gb flash drive just doesnt suffice my needs. 20mins later, its back to factory OS.
Another thing to note, it does get quite hot quickly.
