New tidbits on the EeePC 701

by ant on August 8, 2007

There’s an interesting discussion going on over at the EeeHackers forum. Member matty claims to work for Xandros, the company behind the Eee’s Linux distribution of choice, and has provided some little tidbits of information about the Eee PC’s they have on hand, ie:

  • The single mouse hardware button below the touchpad is actually two mouse buttons
  • Screen is able to be read outside
  • Can use SDHC cards

Check out the rest of the discussion here.

[edit] also thanks to bigmat1201 for asking such good questions in the discussion!

Freaking sweet info, hope it’s all true.

I keep looking at that thread, and the more answers matty gives, the more I think “Wow, they’re getting everything right”… First time that a company has done that for me in a while.

Yey, too bad its taking them so long to make the damn thing. If Xandros is still working on the OS, that means we have sometime to wait. So I wouldn’t expect it out for another 2-4 month. I really hoped that I’ll have EEEPC in my hands before the school starts in september. But I guess I’ll have to wait. :(

If I hazard a guess, it will come out in the US in time for labor day.
