Other than that I can't say I'm thrilled about the product at all, especially with all that bulk.]]>Feb 5th 2009 6:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/05/eee-pc-701-prototype-umpc-spotted-photographed-lusted-after/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/05/eee-pc-701-prototype-umpc-spotted-photographed-lusted-after/
Comfort has a solid product we use in a cadaver lab (you could imagine why we dont use real keyboards) that is extremely configurable and even has specific layouts for UMPCs.

That doesnt look very big to me and for practical computing we cant all be toting around iphones. I think this is approaching the appropriate compromise between functionality and portability]]>Feb 5th 2009 6:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/05/eee-pc-701-prototype-umpc-spotted-photographed-lusted-after/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/05/eee-pc-701-prototype-umpc-spotted-photographed-lusted-after/http://www.xhibitingblog.com/2008/12/the-qbook/

I appreciate the mod, but it was done by just done by some dude.

Its actually a custom faceplate made by a member of the forum. You can buy the custom faceplate in the forum to change your eeepc into an umpc.

While it doesn't look as beautiful as "real" UMPC, i think it is a fair trade. Think of this, grab second hand eee pc 700 for less than 200$, buy the kits, then, install Ubuntu Netbook Remix on it.Voila, you have bellow 500$ umpc.

Warning - the guy who sale the custom faceplate on eeeuser.com forum seems runaway with everyones money.
