I’m waiting and watching. I plan to get one for the kids — primarily for my daughter who will be taking comp sci courses next year (high school). If the 9″ comes down in price by the end of June it would make a great graduation gift.

I am buying 30 of these as soon as they release to use as a new mobile lab for the school I am the Tech Director of. I bought a 7″ one as a test and the kids love it.

I’d love it if they put a get a more enterprise version of linux on. I will be probably installing ubuntu or giving up some laptops and install xp pro. I have not decided yet.

Release date for U.S.? I was just about to buy either the 4G with XP or the 8G and install myself. I can give them until the end of the month.

I’m really interested in the 9 inch since my plans with buying an Asus would be to take notes in class. With the bigger screen & more memory will the dementions of the unit be the same? aka did they just fit a larger screen in? And does it change the 2 lb wieght?

this is really what the initial eee should have been and it should cost 300-400 dollars. 500 and up is pushing it out of fun lil purchase territory for many including me. Gimme a 9 inch eee for 350 and I’m in for sure.

that’s really tempting! just for portability sake – with flash drive running *nix and i’m set.

I held off on the 7″ knowing that one with a slightly bigger screen and windows preloaded was coming.. I will probably get one depending on when it ever releases.

The resolution is 1024X600.

I wish the date would get set in stone. I’m looking to buy one in the next couple weeks and would be willing to wait to the end of April but not the end of May.

Looks nice. I have a 7″ 2G Surf. New stuff is tempting

What is the screen resolution on on the 9in eee? The resolution was the biggest factor holding me back before on the 7in version.

It doesn’t have a CF slot. It does support SDHC.
