i think i will still wait to see the Dell E or the MSI Wind or even the Acer Aspire One or Gigabyte M912 mini-tablet or ECS G10IL but really idk there is too many to choose from and little known about some
you make a good point. I agree with you, there are a whole load of products coming to the table.
In terms of generations, if we were to call the EeePC 7" and its friends, generation one, then right now we are witnessing the rush to the generation 2 table, which EeePC is already sat at, and eating the starters have a general little chit chat with the likes of HP2133.
But, I suspect that actually generation 3 is just around the corner. We have the Dual Core Atom processors, together with the AMD offerings and the new Via, about to come out.
There are a whole plethora of other guest looking to dine, I think that if they sit down at the generation 2 table, it will be short lived. I think that there is a bleeding edge here that could be painful to get cut on, especially if your replacement cycle is 18 month to 2 years.
After all those metaphores, I am thinking about waiting to Oct/Nov. I certainly am not buying one until I have touched a felt the Dell offering. I still don't think that they can be beaten for Service and Warranty.
if not until after December is till i am waiting most likely unless the dell looks feels and is amazing but i also would like a tablet and the Gigabyte M912 mini-tablet looks like it could be promising
