That's surprisingly cheap, it's almost tempting to get one :P I won't for the obvious reason I do not need one seeing as I have a smartphone, but the price is pretty good. Aren't they releasing a Windows 7 one at some point?

yeah, another one of their eee pad's - the W7 one looks superb.

I'm a bit sceptical of it, the battery life must be a bit useless seeing as W7 is still in the stage where it's just getting used to touch screen and doesn't quite know how to properly utilise it, going by a quick play around with All-in-One PCs a few months ago. It would be neat having a near-to-full PC experience with a tablet :P

Its intriguing, and possibly a good idea for those who don't need a laptop, but a smartphone is too much for them.

I don't think W7 will ever be good for tablets, with W8 coming in 2012

HELLO.

iPad replacement? YES PLS.

EDIT: Bollocks, it's Android... would wait until Windows 7, hopefully they can pull a 7+ battery life outta it.

I love Android dearly and my Nexus One but I've had a lot better luck with iOS than Android.

The £379 version is $399 in the US. What a ripoff.

They should rename it to the Apple Eee Pad

Hey- I'm not complaining.
