Oh please, stop being such a close mind guy. Competition is GREAT ! Kira 100 stays cool all the time and i got 4h of full screen divx playback on batery on my Positivo Mobo(the Brazilian brand). When using google videos on full screen it eats battery as hell, but i had the same problem with a 15" laptop. The processor is not so good as in the eee, but i don't find it necessarily bad considering what it's sold for... I only tryed cartoons divx, but the image is not bad at all, i can say that its better than the SIS Mirage on my HP Pavilion. I can say the same about the sound when my Mobo(Kira) is on the same speakers that came with my desktop.
PROS: Kira is cooler, the battery last a little longer, the webcam is better CONS: Its seems that even being better than my SIS Mirage, the VIA video card it's not as good as the one in eee. VIA processor is slow on superpi(>8min).
For me as a Brazilian owner of a MOBO it's better becouse all eee here are on linux and lets face it, linux its not the pattern and except for some geeks most people will prefer a windows umpc.
