This 900A hits the E-spot: the 900's nicer case but with the 901's better innards... Eeerogenous!]]>Aug 3rd 2008 6:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/03/new-images-point-at-atom-based-asus-eee-pc-900a/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/03/new-images-point-at-atom-based-asus-eee-pc-900a/
The only thing that makes the Eee PC worthwhile is Leopard OSX running on it:

Perhaps people outside those of us following every twist and turn of the UMPC market might just look at what is available, read the spec, and decide which of the many models suit their needs. 7 inch screen, 8.9 inch, or 10 inch, and Linux or Windows, big keyboard or little one. Pretty simple. Eee is a brand. Fair enough, but it is signifying small, portable low powered computers. And as such, it is doing just fine. Just wait until Christmas. not only the Eees, but Acer, Dell and others all fighting for their share of the market. And I hear that Lenovo and LG might be in on the market too..]]>Aug 3rd 2008 8:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/03/new-images-point-at-atom-based-asus-eee-pc-900a/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/03/new-images-point-at-atom-based-asus-eee-pc-900a/

they may be bringing out similar models with similar names, but that is nothing odd compared to LOTS of other companies that have been doing the same with software and hardware for decades.

face it, Asus made a cheap UMPC that was perfect for occasional tasks for kids and parents alike.
they put the effort in and almost nailed perfection with the 1st EEE PC, then they listened to customer critique and evolved the later models to add a bit of variety and expand the options for those that want either better screens or keyboards.

if this was an apple product you would be all over it and it would still cost a grand.
yet here we have a company that made an apple grade product with their 1ST attempt, sold a shit-load, and continue to evolve the models with worthy additions.

now how many Ipod models have been made with similar tiny differences, yet sell for as much as a laptop like the EEE?

did you bitch about the big hooplah when Apple make a BIG announcement and fanboys go wild?
only to find it's.....the latest ipod since the last identical one 6 months ago still costing too much and crippled with propriety software and hardware interfaces.]]>Aug 3rd 2008 12:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/03/new-images-point-at-atom-based-asus-eee-pc-900a/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/03/new-images-point-at-atom-based-asus-eee-pc-900a/Aug 3rd 2008 4:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/03/new-images-point-at-atom-based-asus-eee-pc-900a/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/03/new-images-point-at-atom-based-asus-eee-pc-900a/

Seriously, come on. How can more models ever be worse than few? Go look EEE up at Wikipedia and you will find a nice comparison chart.

By producing more models Asus succesfully manages to create a computer for nearly everyones' needs.

They are filling the "niches" with new, slightly different, models.

So therefore obviously this sales model works Engadget. Seriously saying over and over how much "Asus are diluting the brand" is getting kinda old. It obviously works, which is why they are the Netbook sales leader.
