There is a TON of money to be made in this market, but they need to be very careful of their prices. To high, and people will lose interest.

I'll be first in line. Tablet, touch screen, GPS, SSD, light weight, $500, sign me the hell up! Anything more than $500, their sales will definitely suffer.

Here's one interesting piece of news: http://gizmodo.com/373820/windows-xp-eee-pc-available-at-best-buy-in-april-pricing-stays-sweet If this is true, it makes a lot of sense that these XP 4G EEE PCs would stay at $399US, even though they have XP on them. My hunch is that ASUS had a lot of 4Gs built in reaction to how popular they became in such a short period of time, but they have since released the 8G, and they also figure that the 900s have been highly desired as soon as the 4Gs hit the street, because a 7" screen was just too small for a lot of people. So, even though you'd think that the 4Gs would cost more with XP on them, it's more like, in order to clear out inventory of the 4Gs that otherwise not sell anymore, they've reduced the base cost in reaction to the 8G and in anticipation of the 900, just like, say, Apple eventually reduces the cost of 1st gen models once they've released newer versions.
