5.6" 1024x600 touchscreen (the dpi is actually less than the n810, so it shouldn't be too bad)
800MHz Intel A110 cpu
1GB RAM
40GB HDD
4-5 hour battery life
And the best part is the price, they go for $400 or less on ebay. The keyboard is a bit small, but I read one review that said you can thumb-type on it without much trouble. I plan on getting one when I finally get a job.

were released in the US.
I'm sold. It's just a little bigger than the DS. I wonder if it can run word...
I haven't been here in awhile, and looking back it's one of the worst ideas I ever had. I'm back and I'll be here for awhile, I was quite active 1 year ago and I hope to become that again.

Absolutely.

The question is, would you want to? I find the Eee keyboard to be too small to easily work with for anything longer than a couple paragraphs; do you need to type on that thing with chopsticks or something?

Someone should make a tablet version of that thing. 8) (I mean a dedicated, honest-to-[diety] slate tablet, not a "flip the screen around and fold it shut" tablet.)

I'm using my iPod Touch right now. If I can type fast and well on this then no keyboard is too small.

The iPhone typing system is really awesome, and beats every other touch screen keyboard out there. Keep in mind that nothing compares.

That may be true but I prefer a real keyboard any day.

Image back when i was looking t the u810 and similar they cost as much or more than my everun. personally i would rather have worse battery life and a bit more cost to have a MUCH MUCH more powerful computer. my everun will play portal at max settings(at 1024x600) in DX9 mode full speed when plugged in, and with cool n quiet turned off it will play it at medium settings nearly as well. it plays the game better than my desktop!
