Unfortunately having looked at the battery life and not being very attractive to me as far as price and looks go, I'll have to skip on that one. I'm really looking for something that has a regular keyboard built in(not thumb and no need for extra bt full keyboard) and has a hard casing to protect the screen aswell as x86 architecture and a slightly bigger screen than the n800(but not that much bigger than its not ultra portable and light weight anymore), so that writing documents is not painful and actually can run office applications(openoffice), having USB host to expand the device capabilities unlike the n800. To me the Asus does this perfectly. The thing about the n800, its just not quite small enough to fit in your back pocket or front pocket unlike my previous dell axim X51v, with that I could even sit down with it in my back pocket without the worry of it breaking. Unfortunately I could never fit the n800 in my pocket comfortable, or would be comfortable sitting on it. And since I'm having to carry it in my hand or in a bag anyway I rather get something slightly bigger/powerful and more attractive. The laptop design of the asus eee acts as a good screen protector and is about the size of a A4 sheet folded in half. No more squinting on the n800 or worry about the screen. I like that it can also boot from usb and all those proper x86 linux programs available that I was hoping would be more accessible with the n800. no openoffice - forget about it. maybe nokia will have something good when step 5 comes along.

FYI: I don't wear alot of jackets so jeans pocket is my only option of storage. with that said - n800 is a no no. so if I'm having to carry it in my hand or a bag might as well get something like the asus eee. If anyone has another device thats got all the above at $399 - Let me know - i'll be interested.
