"After the incredible success of the Asus Eee PC, other manufacturers are ready to get their piece of the pie. This means that within the next few months we are going to see this segment go from just two devices - the Eee PC and the Nanobook (which has yet to come out in the U.S. but which we have been hearing about for some time) - to many more." Another article on the Eee says: "Five of the 10 best-selling notebooks, including the top three models this weekend do not run Windows or Mac OS X. In fact, they are different models of the same diminutive notebook the Asus Eee PC - that runs on Linux."

Everyone's being praising the Eee PC from the moment it was announced. That competition has arrived, comes as no surprise. Any product that can double in price from what was announced and still sell faster than anyone can make them has to be a good idea.
This sector really benefits from Open Source. At this price level, the Microsoft tax really bites. Plus, being able to put on a full office suite, photo editor, etc., for free, turns what could have been novelty products into genuinely useful tools.
Exciting stuff.
