ASUS' Chinese site reveals Eee PC 900 with 30GB hard drive {Engadget}
Jul 17th 2008 5:14PM I am the other way Vance,
I want a small, very small, computer with lots of storage.
I travel and want it very light weight and very portable. I also travel with my Camera and would like to be able to off load the shot to a hard drive and may do some very simple editing (rescaling, color touch ups). Just enough horse power to create/display some Power point presentations and minimal graphic editing.
As I travel ability to use skype from a small computer is a plus.

With a machine like I think it should be a DVR by second nature.
ASUS' Eee 904 gets official. Officially boring. {Engadget}

Jul 4th 2008 10:28AM What happened to the EEE price. Those micro laptops where also to have a micro price tag. Now they are the same price and any other laptop out there. For the same prices as the 1000 I can get a laptop that has a richer set of features. I thought the whole point of the EEE laptop line was the low cost, small size and lowered specs. Now it is just a bit smaller and lowered specs with a higher price. What is the point now or the benefit now?

Jul 3rd 2008 2:36PM The Canadian wireless spectrum auction combined with new laws regulating it:
- The wireless spectrum auction — 60 per cent — is open to bids from anyone, while the remaining 40 per cent is reserved for new entrants to the cellphone market, which Industry Canada defines as any company that currently earns less than 10 per cent of the nation's total cellphone revenue.
- New entrants will also benefit from two other Industry Canada rulings. Existing carriers will have to rent out space on their cellphone towers at reasonable rates to new players. They will also have to sign agreements that allow the customers of newcomers to "roam" on their networks, again at reasonable rates.
This should introduce lots of other players into the market. Or at least that is the hope.

Tesla's Elon Musk promises sub-$30k all-electric car in less than four years {Engadget}
Jun 30th 2008 3:43PM affordable electric vehicle not my cup a tea, an affordable electric vehicle with gas backup would fit my life.
Typically a commute would trigger a highly efficient gas driven aspect but on the longer trips (IE: >100 miles) it would recharge the batteries and the help drive system.
I typically do put on 600 mile in a week with four out of 5 commute days less than 50 miles.
The electric power should be the primary but not the sole source of power to drive a vehicle. Adding in Photo-electric paint/surface would also help supplement the vehicles power system.
But a straight electric vehicle will be a difficult sell, especially to me.

ASUS Eee PC 901 priced, reviewed {Engadget}
Jun 13th 2008 8:41AM I see the Eee as Eexpensive.
I quickly look at the low priced laptop computer is about the same or even less. In many cases the 'real' laptop is by far a better machine for the same dollar. I was expecting the Eee PC to be a little more competitive on their pricing.

Jun 6th 2008 2:21PM It will over come the paper when e-paper is cheaper and easy to distribute.
I know the parents-in-laws who are in there 80's went to a digital camera just because it is cheaper and easier to take the memory card into COSTCO or WALMART and select only the goods one to be printed (saving money!). To them it was about cost - it is way cheaper. If the e-paper refreshed itself every morning and the subscription was half the price then millions would switch in an instant.
