With my hands it is next to impossible to do any “real” typing on it as you say. Even my girlfriend with the tiniest hands and fingers I have ever seen had difficulty typing on one when I brought it home. That being said, I am sure that we both could have adapted to it well enough over time but I only had the system as a test platform from work for a few days (I’m a Systems Integration Manager for a relatively small integration company).

Personally, I don’t use wifi anytime that a wired alternative is available and I take my tablet pc with me pretty much everywhere I go that I would need a computer and it has wireless-N, so that isn’t a big deal to me, but it is definitely a point that I must agree with you on.

As for the integrated webcam, I personally think that this is a stupid trend that has minimal real world application until a decent camera is used in a system. Until that point, I have no use for these fluff cameras that they are building into every portal system available these days. It is merely a tactic to rope in the teenage girls, IMHO.

Now, as for the battery life, this is entirely dependent on what you are doing on the system. Sure, if you switch everyone on and run it full bore, maybe it does only last 120 minutes. In my, albeit limited, experience with the eeePC systems, I have seen life times lasting a duration of 3-4 hours for average use. You have to remember that your average consumer will use these systems for nothing more than limited web access. I would venture to guess that a very large majority of the systems were bought up by college students who will use them for little than a bit of myspace and facebook time while on campus while not paying attention in their courses =x

Overall, though, I think that it was a good first few steps in the right direction and hopefully they can only make progress in fulfilling their initial goals of a budget, full featured, portable system.

On a side note, do not use “service” as your username in the Windows XP editions of this series. While there is no mention of it anywhere in the documentation, this is apparently a reserved name and you will not be able to login to the account. My company alerted ASUS of this issue from the first week of their release but even in the eeeBox that we just got in a few days ago, the problem still exists. Also, on the XP edition of the 900 with the initial partition setup of the hard disk drive, you cannot install Service Pack 3. This issue may have been fixed, however, but at the time that we played around with one of them when they were very first released neither us nor ASUS tech support could get it to work and they finally called us back and said that it was not possible without wiping the drive and converting it to a single partition.

any ideas anyone….

Very quick and possibly ignorant question… If I install OSX on my Intel Core 2 Duo that currently runs Vista, can I install it onto the existing partition containing Vista and dual boot? Also, can I access my MP3 collection on a second partition through OSX (Specifically iTunes!)

Thanks!
