That, friends, is the WiMAX-enabled Eee PC, showcased today on Sprint's XOHM network (as was the OQO model 02). No word on a price just yet, but it sounds like it will see production with "an attractive MSRP." Also of note, ASUS is planning to dish out 7-, 8-, and 8.9-inch models (not necessarily WiMAX-enabled, mind you) in Q2 in a variety of colors, but it seems we'll be playing wait-and-see regarding the all important price / specifications bit.
The Eee MSRP might be attractive, but it'll be a drop in the bucket for what Sprint will be charging for XOHM, I'm sure.
Who needs phones? Just make some kind of handle on that thing, and you got yourself a handset.
This is just what i've been waiting for. My phone bill is already $80 a month for voice and data, might as well pay that amount and get broadband speeds.
I'm really torn between getting a faster eeePC and getting a cheap dual core laptop for college, because I've already got a decent gaming desktop and I don't really need more power but then at the same time I have a feeling programming on the tiny keyboard might be annoying, since I already hate regular laptop keyboards. Probably going to end up going with a regular laptop unless they introduce an eeePC with a dual-core because then I'll be able to rack up massive PPD in folding@home. If they introduce a dual-core eeePC in the 8.9" formfactor I'll be really tempted... but I also like Vista (yes, shocking, I know) although Linux is cool too, as long as I can run KDE4 on these things.
IV`E ORDERED AN Eee 4G - CAN I STILL USE MY 320G MEMORY DRIVE, AND WILL IT PLAY ALL MY STORED MOVIES & MUSIC??. HELP PLEASE.
