Next year ASUS will increase the screen size of EeePCs from 7" to 8.9":

Currently the EeePCs have a screen resolution of only 640 x 480 (although it 
will increase to 800 x 600 if you connect it to an external screen).  Nokia 
N800 only has a 4.1" screen but with a better 800 x 400 resolution.  I expect 
to see the screen resolution of EeePC to be substantially improved.

Asus expects to sell 5 million EeePCs in 2008.  At an average selling price of 
$400 per unit, this represents a ~$2B business.  What this (i.e., the $$$) 
implies is that the Linux (Debian) desktops may finally find the big daddy that 
it's always been lacking.
