I suspect that many folks who bought a 770 or n800 bought it partly because it was a Linux tablet. I don't think Nokia has yet figured out a way to sell these tablets as, well simple IT tablets for consumer use.

I am curious about what they are going to do about the n810. Right now in-car GPS units are selling like crazy for about the same money as the n810. I am sure the price will come down, but they look like this year's Christmas present for Dads. A friend just bought a Garmin unit and is very happy with it. I showed him my 770 which he liked but would not buy just as an Internet Tablet - even for $150.00. I asked him that if it was sold primarily as a GPS unit that could also double as an IT , read email, play movies, etc... Would he have bought it for $400-500? Yes, in a heartbeat. Then he looked sad when he realized that he had already bought a GPS unit. Then he asked if the n810 could make phone calls ...

Anyway, back to the EEE. All of the screen shots that I have seen show about 1" of black frame around the actual display. I wonder why?

I think that ASUS could fit a much larger display into the same form factor. I read somewhere that a version 2 will be out next year that will be based on a Merom chip. A bigger display would be real nice too. Put a swiveling tablet display on it with a touchscreen, and... No never mind.
