March 7, 2008 The clones are coming - be patient
Clones and upgrdes of the tiny two-pound $400 EEE PC notebook computer are coming fast and furious. My advice: wait. Some of the newbies on the horizon will have screens larger that the EEE’s 7-incher and more flash memory. By this fall there ought to be several tantalizing choices for the light traveler who wants to carry a computer and hardly know it’s there.
And, late news: the 8.9”-screen EEE is coming!

I have to admit I'm addicted to these little laptops! I'm typing this right now on my 7" EEE, and I'll probably buy the 9" version as soon as it is available. Its slightly larger in dimensions than the EEE 701, but should still fit in the end pocket of the Aeronaut with no problem. The only problem will be to find a good use for the 7" model after I get the 9" one!
Maybe sell your old one to me! There's always eBay... The EEE has made a new market segment which is really going to benefit the light travel crowd. It's going to be an interesting year for mobile computing.
