I look at it like this - for $50-100 LESS than the cost of the Nokia N800 (not to mention most PDAs), you get a fully fledged computer. Remember, despite its appearance, the eeePC is NOT a notebook - it's a new type of device that sits between PDAs/tablets and laptops/notebooks. It's therefore more useful to evaluate it against other smaller devices than the bulkier, 'full featured' ones further up the price scale. I was disappointed with the lack of features on internet tablets, and I always found laptops too big, usually requiring an extra bag to carry around. The eeePC addresses both of those problems exceptionally well IMHO. -- ubuntu-au mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au
