Yep, it is the one I am waiting for!. The 9inch with linux. Considering that I already have a copy of XP to spare. And now that it seems multi touch would be included.^^ That one is coming but there is also version of the 7" with XP that ll come before the eee 900.
BTW Kumar are you gonna get the 9"er?

It is much more desirable.
Only thing is- how long before it comes to India!

I am with you there.
while EEE PC can't be callled the people's laptop anymore, its still in a class of its own, just like the way mac users claim their mac to be. No other book, the macbook air, the 20k compaq laptop, the 20k acer laptop and the ACi Ultra Mini included, offer what EEE PC has got - Ultimate Mobility combined with ultimate stability. The perfect thing for executives on the move.

It might not have been that popular in India, but if you look otherwise, its selling like hot cakes..The main issue according to me is the not-so popular and affordable wifi access in our country and people dont understand quality..Its only quantity that Indians can think of..Example: 'Ooohh..its got only 4 GB storage...that sucks' kindof attitude..

In appreciating something like EEE PC, common Indian is more like a nut case. As rightly put by Pat, it is the quantity that matters for us Indians!

I got a white one with a german keyboard layout but thats ok..EEE 900 thats coming out in a couple of months has the same processor as EEE 701, but there will be one more series coming out later this year which will have Intel Atom processors but will have a base price of 599$!
Will post some pics soon

I have the moolah with me, let the 900 come to India. I can purchase it if it is below 25 grand and comes with Xandros. I wont buy the one with Windows preinstalled

^^ Because
1. I already have a normal laptop.
2. It weighs 2.2 kg without bag and power brick which makes it a total of 3 KG.
3. The sheer weight makes my shoulder hurt.
4. I dont really require the power of a full fledged laptop as major part of my work involves typing, writing articles for the web.
I am confused between EEE 9000 and the Mileap Y (kohjinsha) becuase of its tablet form factor yet a smaller screen.
