I'm definately considering purchasing one of these for when i go travelling. Nice and cheap, small & light so even better. Only thing is the keyboard size, i got big hands, plus screen...i'm sure i could get used to.
Other main issue would be the hard drive size, as i'd be putting a lot of images onto to it and doing stuff with my blog and so on. Would applications like ventrillo work?

U can always use ** SD Cards, or a Memory Stick/External HDD.
And you can get windows onto it.
Yeah i thought of that, but i'll be taking a lot of photo's over the year or so (so a lot of cards), external HDD possibly be the best route to go. Main concern was keyboard size due to my massive hands

If it comes to it, another keyboard?
But defeats the purpose of getting it, i may aswell get something bigger thenIf it comes to it, another keyboard?
.Plus i'll most likely buy over in the US/Canada so hopefully work out a bit cheaper and may have bigger versions (HDD when i go 8gb,16gb?). If the keyboard isn't too small for me.

Doesnt look too small anyway.
The only thing i dont like is the speakers, they look tacky.
Hopefully it's not, but you've not seen my hands
. Yeah i wouldn't expect them to be amazing, but hopefully decent enough to use for music/or videos.

Still can't find a definitive guide or answer on how to install Windows on it.
The usual answers are... "via USB"... That explains a lot!

They'll definately be good for that.
Im hoping its good to carry around, take a little knock - as it'll be in my bag.
Use XP on it, word, music etc.
You just install Windows off a USB Stick, rather than using a CD.
So the OS that comes with it is limited to applications it has, if you want to use other things you'll need to go windows route?
Not sure actually.
It has things for use of Word, Excel etc.
But im sure you can get other versions of things.
Just looked on the Ventrilo site and the Linux client isn't available yet, it's still in development.
Lets hope it's out by next easter
. It has skype on it, and if needed i can go down the windows route. Although i'm hoping i can find the 8/16gb versions when i get one.
Yeah I saw that, but it's charcoal and not a particularly good picture.
I'd like to see black from a few different angles and closed, weird that there seems to be just no pictures of it at all :\
One of the reviews i seen said at the moment only the white one is available, so maybe nobody has the black yet, apart from the odd one on display like that?
"Asus EEE black" - no search results
Thought i saw it on one of the review vids, guess not.
