Add these to this Eee (larger screen, sycing software & button, and extra capacity battery) and you end up with the same price as the Foleo.

300 dollars more for roughly twice the screen, twice the battery life, and instant on? Yeah, I'm OK with that. ]]>Jun 6th 2007 4:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/06/engadget-chinese-gets-its-hands-on-asus-eee-pc-701/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/06/engadget-chinese-gets-its-hands-on-asus-eee-pc-701/Jun 6th 2007 4:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/06/engadget-chinese-gets-its-hands-on-asus-eee-pc-701/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/06/engadget-chinese-gets-its-hands-on-asus-eee-pc-701/Jun 6th 2007 4:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/06/engadget-chinese-gets-its-hands-on-asus-eee-pc-701/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/06/engadget-chinese-gets-its-hands-on-asus-eee-pc-701/Jun 6th 2007 5:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/06/engadget-chinese-gets-its-hands-on-asus-eee-pc-701/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/06/engadget-chinese-gets-its-hands-on-asus-eee-pc-701/
Why?

Because each and every such device that comes out will only add more fuel to the fire that's building under Apple to release something in size between the iPhone and the 13.3" MacBook.

Gimme a 10" Appletop (where oh where is the successor to my beloved eMate?) and I'll be one happy boy.

And if Apple doesn't step in? ONE of the myriad such devices that's cropping up will do, esp if Linux runs smoothly atop 'em.]]>Jun 19th 2007 2:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/06/engadget-chinese-gets-its-hands-on-asus-eee-pc-701/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/06/engadget-chinese-gets-its-hands-on-asus-eee-pc-701/Jun 6th 2007 5:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/06/engadget-chinese-gets-its-hands-on-asus-eee-pc-701/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/06/engadget-chinese-gets-its-hands-on-asus-eee-pc-701/Aug 29th 2007 7:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/06/engadget-chinese-gets-its-hands-on-asus-eee-pc-701/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/06/engadget-chinese-gets-its-hands-on-asus-eee-pc-701/Jun 6th 2007 5:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/06/engadget-chinese-gets-its-hands-on-asus-eee-pc-701/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/06/engadget-chinese-gets-its-hands-on-asus-eee-pc-701/
This thing--a small screen in a laptop body--is a nonstarter for me.

Also with a fantastic price..200$!!

The best thing I like is the build-in 3G and SSD!

There's no way that my parent is going to break this one.]]>Jun 6th 2007 7:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/06/engadget-chinese-gets-its-hands-on-asus-eee-pc-701/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/06/engadget-chinese-gets-its-hands-on-asus-eee-pc-701/

a) 8" swivel screen portable DVD player
b) set-top DVD recorder (even a DVDRW for a laptop is < $100)
c) wireless pda

What you would end up with is an 8" mini-laptop, convertible into a tablet, that can record onto the built-in dvd drive. It could have your wireless tech like WiFi, bluetooth, GPS, DVB, etc. Throw in a built-in keyboard, SD card slot, remote, and you'd be made. You could probably even throw in a small 4 or 8GB SSD (enough for an OS) without too much extra cost.

I have to admit that these new little gadgets are starting to head in the right direction...]]>Jun 6th 2007 11:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/06/engadget-chinese-gets-its-hands-on-asus-eee-pc-701/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/06/engadget-chinese-gets-its-hands-on-asus-eee-pc-701/Jun 7th 2007 1:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/06/engadget-chinese-gets-its-hands-on-asus-eee-pc-701/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/06/engadget-chinese-gets-its-hands-on-asus-eee-pc-701/Jun 8th 2007 3:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/06/engadget-chinese-gets-its-hands-on-asus-eee-pc-701/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/06/engadget-chinese-gets-its-hands-on-asus-eee-pc-701/

You will have at your disposition all the deb packages you may ever need, and of course, you may be able to install Ubuntu or maybe Damn Small Linux (if there aren't any fancy drivers to get) and you'll be flying like an eagle. If ur a developer, you don't need more than 7'' 800x480 screen and a wi-fi.

Palm has never brought mainstream tech to the public, but they have always been fairly successful with their products. And if the Eee and the Folio do well, it will be interesting to see how many other companies join the bandwagon.

This is the unit I have been waiting for. I am so tired of huge programs running slowly, massive battery demands, and generally being held hostage by Gates, Intel, and others.
