Yes, we can two-time the N800

But what you're saying could apply to any small notebook computer. I used to use my iBook G4 when watching TV and that's probably about as small as a notebook can get and remain functional.

I'm becoming less and less enamoured of my Eee. Whenever I have to use it I get a feeling of dread... The keyboard is just a few milimetres too small and mistypes are common (in particular, hitting Enter instead of the apostrophe, and hitting Up instead of the right-shift). The screen is just a little bit too small for those stubborn sites that refuse to fit in 800 pixel width--maybe around 25% of the sites I visit.

In contrast, I enjoy using my 770. It's not perfect but it's really well designed and that somehow makes up for its deficiencies. I'm sure my N800 will be even better when it eventually arrives from Play.com. As mentioned, if they get a decent word processor working on OS2008, I'll get rid of my Eee.

I just don't think the Eee works as a design. It's a second-best option compared to a genuine notebook computer, whereas the N tablets are the best option in the circumstances.
