The 9'' screen has a resolution of 1024*600.

My girlfriend uses the 2gig one for uni (Early adopter :|).

It's pretty cool, and considering she's never dabbled in linux before finds the OS very easy to use. It's great for taking into uni etc rather than lugging a full size laptop about. The only problem is you have to keep scrolling to the side on the internet

But if it's just for work purposes I'd recommend one, it only takes about 20 seconds to boot, but you won't be able to play games on it because the specs aren't that great.

Oh how wrong you are.

I'm in for the 8.9/9" model. And thus begins the countdown...

If I ever for this kind of computer, the only games I would run on it would be old system emulators. I wouldn't even bother trying to run anything else. I would mostly probably use it for RPG maker and the internet

I will be reviewing one of these for my school mag, we want to run a OLPC scheme when the larger-screened ones are released! Expect a review within a week or so.

No Europe, Dutch version yet
Is there any site purchasing it and shipping to The Netherlands the $300 version will only be 197.42 Euro

And I'm sure the dutch $300 version will cost 300 Euro

Am I the only one seriously considering buying one just for work and coding?

Maybe MSI VR330 also is a nice Mini Laptop
It's like EeePC, but with an bigger screen, 80GB harddisk and a DVD Player
It's 13.3"

How does VBA run on these things? Has anybody messed around with other emus? If it can handle VBA, PCE and/or SNES emus I'd definitely buy one of the 900s when released.

8.9' one is so friggin awesome. I love the size and price of these things, I really want to get one T_T I'd probably use it for word processing, internet browsing, and emulators. I don't really play any games on the pc made in like hte last 8 years.

It does PSX emulation with flying colors. I think you can answer the rest for yourself.
