Hi Stuart,
Played with the gadget for a few hours this afternoon. Utterly cool!
Well built and solid mechanically and small and light.
The Linux OS works well and the user interface is very familiar for
Windows users. Wireless works well and is easy to set up.
For a comms device while away from home for use at wifi hotspots it
seems just about perfect with all the built in apps like Open Office,
Firefox, Thunderbird mailer.
My only problem is how to get it to use the new phone as a data
modem. The phones all come with software to be installed on Windows Pc's.
The eeePC will run WinXP SP2 but I really don't want to have to do that.
How's the Ventus? We're just finishing the major refurbish of the
BD4. Plan on getting down south early in the new year in it. Might
run in to you then.
Regards
Mike
