Browsing the linuxdevices.com I noticed this:

Considering the two SD slots seems like an interesting competitor for the eee. Depends on the processor speed though...

The thing looks like a toilet seat. I wonder what made them design it this way... Last minute realization that the 12" display will be too expensive, maybe?

Re: Anybody noticed this?
 

Agreed - the bevel is too much / screen is too small.

And those buttons - in the centre of the long edge. Is the screen detachable to make it a tablet? If so, they would be usable in portrait mode, but in landscape, you would obscure the screen whenever they were used.

I think it's due to the size limitation of the motherboard\other components on the base unit (the smaller ones are more expensive), and also the size of the keyboard. The same (lack of) design is also apparent on the Asus EEE (7" version) and cloudbook.

Looks very toy-like.

the detachable keyboard makes me think of the elonex one...

btw, that battery life is quite impressive, if it holds up. 5-8 hours?!

hmm, it looks like its using some kind of ram drive for the os, booting a read only image stored on the 2GB flash area...

i just wonder if one can stash the keyboard on the back of the device when one want ot use it as a slate, but not leave the keyboard somewhere...

No, that is an advanced feature so you can easily place your Post-it notes around the screen :)
