It’s the Eee PC that’s cramped, not Walt. Just wanted to make that clear. ;) And “cramped” is a valid statement both in the display resolution and the keyboard. I’ll admit it: if that keyboard was just a smidge smaller, even I (the mobile mighty mite) wouldn’t be able to touch-type on it worth a darn. As an Eee PC owner, I think the review is fair and accurate… from a particular point of view. However, as many of the commenters to the review have pointed out, the device isn’t meant to be a business class device and it’s quite good for its intended use.http://services.brightcove.com/services/viewer/federated_f8/452319854There’s both a written summary of the review as well as a brief overview video if you’re interested. I can’t dispute all of the shortcomings pointed out, but when I look at what I’m getting for $399, I think it’s a pretty good deal, a very capable device and offers some slight “wow” factor; I lost count how many times I was stopped and asked about it at CES. Thanks for the tip, Greg!
