had hands-on too but I'm wondering how that will fit in the market with the 8.9" version that's supposed to be coming out soon. $399 will buy you the 7" XP version which is $100 more than the Linux version but if you work back from the Euro-prices talked about for the 9" version - 499 Euro - we should see the 8.9" version with Linux for around $500 in the U.S. If I had waited this long to buy an Eee PC and was looking for 'productivity' I'd probably wait a few more weeks for the bigger screen (and, as I understand it, more storage and rumors of Bluetooth and multi-touch track-pad) rather than the XP operating system. However, $500 is a lot more than $400 and the difference will be too much for some people.

Eee PC 4G XP or wait for the 900?

Laptopmag reports that the XP version of the Eee PC 4G is on it’s way. They’ve had hands-on too but I’m wondering how that will fit in the market with the 8.9″ version that’s supposed to be coming out soon. $399 will buy you the 7″ XP version which is $100 more than the Linux version but if you work back from the Euro-prices talked about for the 9″ version – 499 Euro – we should see the 8.9″ version with Linux for around $500 in the U.S. If I had waited this long to buy an Eee PC and was looking for ‘productivity’ I’d probably wait a few more weeks for the bigger screen (and, as I understand it, more storage and rumors of Bluetooth and multi-touch track-pad) rather than the XP operating system. However, $500 is a lot more than $400 and the difference will be too much for some people.
