I seriously don't understand people's fixation with an optical drive. And what's more puzzling is that they want an ultra portable to have the power and features of a high end gaming desktop.i like the Asus one but i miss Optical drive on it, its a big disappointment

Exactly. I am with you mate. I for one, don't mind the lack of a big hdd and an optical drive. With casing for the drives and an extra dvd drive at my house, I can always use the USB ports to my advantage. Nobody will want to write a DVD on their laptop while on the move unless they are some seriously short on time guys.
To me a cheap UMPC must be within 15K, and must be able to do everything ecept phoning that a Blackberry can, along with other basic computing tasks. These are somewhat like a combo of a PMP like the iAudio or the iPod, a high end PDA minus the phone, a portable gadget to play simple games like in mobiles, PSPs, GBAs, etc and a tool to keep in touch everywere, as well as an ebook reader to read books the way I do with real paper ones in the toilet.
forget the mb air. its not even worth looking at for cheap and mobile solution seekers.^^ hehe. True but didn't you use the same line in the MB Air's defence?

Optical Dirve!!! .. I have 1 DVD Combo + 1 DVD writer + 1 CD Drive .. all 3 disconnected from past 3 months. I only connect it if I need to install any OS. and coming to laptop , I have one which has a DVD RW but I havent used it much. if I need to watch a movie or install something on the laptop then I do it over the network.
In this age of high capacity HDD's, highcapacity flashdrives and faster networks, do we really have to consider a lack of optical dive a "Big" negative point? .. comon external drives are available right from the plain 4x CD drive age.

As because CD/DVDs are most popular media for transferring data till date.
but i didn't say i want a HIGH end gaming machine, even a P3 is enough for me, as i hardly do any CPU intense tasks apart from compiling

What we need to give a verdict is the news of WHEN and AT WHAT PRICE the EEE PC Will Come to India.

nah! what is wifi?
what is Flash drive?
what is a computer?
PS: i came from 345 BC
[edit]
lol, i wanted to say i use wifi,flash drives but most of the data is still transfered via CD/DVD. like if i gotta watch a movie(suppose I get originals, so don't download from torrents
) it comes in DVD, so i have to do copy it to flash driver, it i need another acess PC. and most of the times movies are such that they can'nt be copied. so now what?
