I meant that they are a failure (commercially and in other ways, but especially commercially) compared to the Asus Eee, not compared to the NITs.

(Because this category can't really be compared with the NIT. Tell me, how long can you hold that thing in front of your face using only one hand? But if on the other hand you don't mind a bigger and heavier form factor instead of a NIT, then more power to you.)
