Ultra portable, very useful! The keys are pretty small, so not too great for long IMing, but otherwise brilliant! 
I would recommend it, but I've also heard great things about the itouch! |
Thx for all the comments guys (and gals).
Hiya Mel - yeah - I've been looking at Asus more and more - so interested to hear your comments. Having been in Taiwan the last few weeks I've seen quite a few of them about. The price over there is a
lot cheaper - but of course no point in buying there 'cos the keyboard is different!
I found a great web site
jkkmobile - where the guy JKK (from Finland) basically modifies the machines - he put a 3G modem into the ASUS - so as he says - now it is totally portable/mobile - wherever he goes. No WiFi? Just use the 3G. He also modified it so it has a touch screen.....which I think they may do in the future anyway.
And I can see from his blog that now the Asus eee 900 model (slightly bigger screen) is being sold with a 3G bundle. Just what I need - I guess it can't be long before it hits the rest of Europe. Great!
Did you look at their other models (in leather, pink etc....)?
