Rather off topic, but Eeecosystem is a very, very cool name.
Why? just simply why?
Why? Why not!?
ASUS charges $40 for their charger.
This is $23.
Is that not a good enough reason?
I wouldn't mind having third party Eee products. My Eee bought locally comes with a Euro plug that doesn't fit quite well. It would be nice if I could buy other plugs.
"Still, ot does makes us wonder if..."
Looks like Thomas stayed up a bit too late.
Is it worse that he wrote that or that I automatically filter out spelling errors when reading most things on the internet?
the extra EE's really arent necessary
Yes they are, it's a little thing called called product recognition. By your reasoning, the "i" in front of every Mac product aren't necessary either.
welll.. are they
"You must [be] doing something right"
The PSU that comes with my Asus *is* a travel charger. At first glance it looks like a 3 PIN UK plug, but the UK plug is removable, revealing a US style adapter underneath. I love designs like this. It's only slightly larger than most phone chargers so it's perfect for travel.
That's interesting.
I have the US version and I expected it wasn't removable, but now that explains it.
Too bad they didn't include EU and UK clips for us to use when traveling. I wonder if they're available separately somewhere.
I'd love to see a photo of yours with the UK blades on and off to compare with mine.
I just want one company to make the Eee accessory I REALLY want: a USB-powered DVD drive that's designed to clip onto the bottom of the Eee as a sort of dock.
Umm, if Brando is selling this, how does that add to the Eee PC's legitamcy? Just like their corporate class USB warming slippers?
With ASUS putting up the cost of their additional adapters from $15 to $39 its great that a 3rd party has come on the scene to undercut them.
The car charger will also be very popular for those using the EEE for GPS and in car computing.
Great news!!
