Asus EeePC looks interesting!
I'd like to thank Brian for alerting me to the Asus EeePC. Looks like a very nice package. [wikipedia, hothardware] for $400 or so.
In related news, Reuters persists in saying the One-Laptop-Per-Child XO will be delayed. This time, Reuters says v 1.0 of the software won't be ready until December 7. But they seem to have backed off on saying that the hardware will be delayed. (See my previous post on this.)
I have not seen the Asus EeePC subject to anywhere near the same scrutiny. Minor delays and price adjustments happen all the time in tech. Wonder what's Reuters' real beef with OLPC?
Also, let's remember that you can buy two OLPC XOs for the price of one Asus EeePC.

Technically at least in the US, isn't it true that you buy two OLPCs, one for yourself and one to be given away/donated? At least it was.
