I have a Sharp palmtop PC, PC 3100, which is very handy, a 10XT with 1Meg onbaord RAM and a 1 Meg expansion & dos3.3.
It only has serial and parallel but runs forever on AA batteries. Every now and then when I need a serial port checked, out it comes. The form factor is close to the EEE. I’ll be retiring the Sharp for the EEE.
A small plamtop is excellent for travelling with.

Juan: experience is the best teacher, not the FUD that asus has been sending. lets you and i go to the store and play with it, touch it, type on it, see for ourselves and make up our minds the old fashioned way!

dannygee: I understand your point, but the thing is that the EEE is designed to be underpowered, cause it’s not supposed to be a desktop replacement. It’s supposed just to be used for things like writing mails, surfing the net, writing letters and spreadsheets, instant messaging and calling over skype; that’s it, it’s not meant to run Photoshop or to play Quake in multiplayer mode at max resolution… And for the $400 of the higher version I think it’s actually cheap, you can’t even get a 12 inch laptop for that, and this is designed to be carried around everywhere…

dasha: Try to go into the advanced mode (not the regular super user friendly gui) and search for Synaptic (it should be there since Xandros is Debian Based), and search for VLC. VLC should play real media files with no problem.

RealPlayer for Linux:
http://www.real.com/linux/
I download it and open terminal to try to install it, but I can’t use “chmod”……
Linux for Eee PC is lacking some module……

hey, i’m not buying anything yet! but my guess it that the eeepc will be underpowered unless you want to pony up at least $400. time will tell. when? Hah! that’s a good question. they can’t even post prices with specs.

Anyway, if you prefer to buy the n810 then maybe I can get my hands on the EEE you’re not buying

Oh, and the Nokia n810 (which in my opinion is somewhat limited if thought of as a laptop) is expected to be over $400 (http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/17/nokia-n810-gets-official/)
