I suppose the Everun is better, or at least I would trade my 770 for one if given the option. Price does play into the 'market' factor though. Lets take cd players for instance. Would you say that a Sony CDPCE375 5 Disc CD Player and a Bang & Olufsen Beosound 9000 cd player are in the same market?
The Sony holds 5 cds, and the B&O holds 6, but the Sony costs around $115, and the B&O costs closer to $5000. Yes the B&O is probably better, and I'd rather have the B&O than the Sony, but do you see my point? More along the lines of the UMPC though, I think the OS DEFINITELY sways the market. If you went out on the street and asked a bunch of random people if they have ever used linux, I garuntee most of them would either say no, or ask you what linux is. If you asked them about windows XP you'd probably get a much more positive response, or at least more people would know what you were talking about. Also from an application perspective, the XP UMPC can run a ton more applications right out of the box. A huge number of those applications are proprietary though. ITT's run an open source OS and open source applications. I don't know of any application for an ITT that costs money. Also I might as well interject that the ITT OS is NOT a desktop operating system, like the operating systems UMPC's are designed to run. UMPC's are just that, Ultra Mobile 'PCs', presenting you with the environment you'd expect to find on any other PC. An internet tablet is and internet tablet, it is a tablet that you can use to access and browse the internet, it promises something entierly different, and more limited in scope.

Wait a minute... Those are prices for 8, 16 and 32 GB versions. They don't even appear on Asus' current spec sheets anymore. Where did they get those models?

Dunno. Let me ask. ;-)

Ton.

I'll quibble with that, too. Nokia has paid keen attention to the One Laptop Per Child initiative since its inception, and $100 US was the original target price. Granted there are technical constraints, but if we're just talking price...

Beste,


Alles is op bestelling.

"Everything on pre-order."

Alle weergegeven stock op mijn website is een opsomming van de stock van al mijn leveranciers.

"Stock is not mine but from my suppliers."

(Staat ook onderaan op de website).

Zoals je ook kon zien, staat alle stock op 0.



Ik heb eens gekeken op de site van Asus en kan daar zelfs niet één model terug vinden van die pc’s.

Me: "None of these models are mentioned on the Asus website?"

Het is zo dat de website van Asus heel traag bijgewerkt wordt.

"Updates on the Asus website are very slow"

Meer informatie kan ik ook niet geven over die toestellen.

"I cannot give any more info regarding these systems"

Het is ook zo dat ik momenteel nog niet lever aan het buitenland.

"Also at the moment i don't deliver abroad"

Alle bestellingen dienen afgehaald te worden, waardoor buitenlanders dus momenteel nog geen zaken kunnen doen met mij.

"All orders have to be collected, that's why i don't sell abroad"

Toch bedankt voor de interesse in mijn winkel.

"Thanks anyway for showing interest in my shop"...

Met vriendelijke groeten,

So... pre-order and no shipping. And on top of that he lists a model (the ten-incher) that Asus hasn't even released (yet?).

I don't know about you, but I'd sooner place an order for that Medison USD 150 laptop than doing "business" with that guy.

Oops!!

He removed the Eee's from his shop...

Ton.

There is no such thing as a free (or almost free) lunch.

BTW, what would be a cheap, small, Eee-alike laptop to buy as a replacement for the N800? Any ideas?

Ton.

Kohjinsha SA1 (the first model, not the latest SH6).

Doesn't really meet the "cheap" part of my description...
