hippy & rahul, it is just amzing to see that not one big guy on the notebook block has given everyone everything that they could ever want & need on the huge menu of offerings already out there…& as the saying goes if you really have to have it you way, you just gotta do it yourself & i am about to just do that on the fly…otherwise you can always go the “DIY” route & OR GO TO HYPER-PC… but they are not cheap, 5-10k but for sure they can do the job right just the way you want it…

Thanks Rabbi!
The N280, G40 (unconfirmed afaik) higher-res screen and 3G will be interesting options. Shame there’s no HDMI-out.

You are absolutely correct Sir! Believe me, I spent a lot of time looking but obviously didn’t look close enough!

The Touchnote is 250 Euro more which gives you:
Touchscreen
Pre-wired Antenna and SIM slot
BT 2.1
Easy upgrade (RAM, pciexpress-mini, HDD)
Expresscard/34 slot

I guess if you need those options, 250 euro is very good value. If not, the 1000H is probably the one to go for.

Dear Hippy, just spoke to an undisclosed tiawanessa high ranking executive in this products developement…& the the rea! dig scoop is that the higher end with all the bells & whistles are still in the last phase of a beta…T1028, & that they should be rolling off the line by end of very merry month of may, & if you read the link to specsheet pdf. on your http://www.umpcportal.com all he upgrades like the bigger n280 processor & significantly higher screen resolutions & graphics card & 3g, ect…yada yada yada, wil be onboard & be-in-sync…within a month or so…& that that product should really blow away any potential of the future competition…along with a reasonable int’l level price point…i just cant wait…for this baby & my future ocz/hyper-pc.com “DIY” with the few on-board raid terabyte level hd’s & the new SSD & last but not least most important…long awaited new duo multi single board processor intel I7, & or latest zeon’s in a laptop formfactor…

“been trying to find another netbook with draft-N, Bluetooth 2, multi-touch pad, battery options and a SATA drive but I can’t find one yet.”

Eee 1000H has draft-n, bluetooth2, multitouch, 6-cell battery and SATA HDD.
