It's sad to see a market pioneer miss the point entirely isn't it? The early E's were compelling enough for what they were, but given this things size and probable price, why wouldn't you get a 12" laptop instead? With the E 700 series, at least they were a *lot* smaller than a standard lappy. This thing, isn't nearly so much.

Ludi was right -- just as with cars, the subcompact bloat continues until they're no smaller than the model segment to which they used to be a refreshing alternative.

Too large to be a compelling purchase unless the screen is 1280x800 or if it is a lot slimmer.

A second hand 12" iBook or Powerbook is a very viable alternative otherwise, never mind second hand older PC laptops with 10" - 12" screens.

The 9" is pushing it in my opinion. An 8" 1024x600 thin-bezel small-keyboard EeePC would be interesting though.

Tiny PC's are taking over the world.
