I've tried the following ones: Eee 900 == SSD way to and is unusable HP 2133 MiniNot == For the first hour thought my prayers were answered. Until I found out the thing gets hot enough to give a mild but painful burn on human flesh (that is from experience). The best one I've come across yet is the Eee 1000 with a 1.6ghz Atom. Problem: is kinda hybrid cheap laptop and UMPC! SO far all these netbooks aka UMPC, are really lame. I’ve tried the following ones:

Then They charged $18 for it. Now it costs $69 and Dell decreases the instant saving from $40 to $25 for the XP version. I wonder if the price would be less expensive in the near future...

Has anyone seen anything about that? Of course you can use the USB2 for storage along with the picture card port. And one thing bears repeating. Dell constantly lowers it prices, either the dollar amount, or the value giving for a certain dollar amount, and sometimes both. Plus it has sales. So you can expect the cheaper 350USD model to be 300USD in a few months, on sale, or the 350USD with some added value, say 1G memory, or a larger SSD for 350USD. Or the better camera, and so on. I would bet money on that. I haven’t seen anything about using USB2 memory for Ram. Has anyone seen anything about that?

The fact that there is no room for an HDD nor additional RAM turns me off. I know the intended purpose for most people, but I need the extra storage for photos while I am in the field. I like the Everun more and if I cannot get that, then even the MSI Wind I believe has more possibilities. I Believe this is a FAIL on Dells part Maybe its just me, but I am less excited.
