Hi, You might want to know about this re-branded MSI WIND that should be available here in the Czech Republic in August: http://www.mivvy.eu/index.php?page=m310 Even though the site is in Czech, the specifications should be clear. Let me just point out that compared to MSI, Mivvy will have 2GB of RAM and 120 GB HDD ! At first it should come with a 3-cell battery, but a 6-cell battery is already listed as an optional accessory. From what I have gathered, the price (Linux/3-cell batery version) should start at around $630, which is about $130 cheaper than the Linux/3-cell battery version of MSI Wind available here (plus double the RAM and 120 GB of HDD space!). This seems to be quite a competitor for MSI Wind in the Czech Republic ;-)
I read (and enjoy) your Liliputing posts using Google Reader.
Everything seems to be working as before, except that when viewed in Goole Reader, your posts say "by admin" instead of "by Brad Linder" like they used to.
Thanks for the tip about the "MSI Wind with 6 cell battery now available." I bought one of the two in stock at MWave.
With 2 day air, my total was $591.40. Yep, that's a bit expensive. But, with the Wind sold out everywhere, demand is apparently high, so price goes up - Econ 101. I want time to try XP and experiment with Linux before school starts.
thought I'd let you know about this - if you follow this link: http://search.euro.dell.com/results.aspx?s=gen&... in the recommended section, it says "Looking for more information on our new Inspiron Mini? Check out our consumer blog Your Blog post on it for more information"
I found the real name! Looks like its dead certain to be called Inspirion Mini :)
6 Cell MSI Wind and EEE PC 1000H are back in stock at MWave....599 for the Wind and 559 for the EEE....I wonder who they know at MSI to score the 6 cell Winds?
I can confirm the Acer Aspire One is coming out with a new battery as i received this from Acer this week: Model name Aspire one Operating system1 Windows XP® Home Platform1 Intel® Atom™ processor N270 (1.60 GHz, 533 MHz FSB, 512 KB L2 cache) Mobile Intel® 945GSE Express Chipset (DDR2 400/533 MHz) Acer InviLink™ 802.11b/g Wi-Fi CERTIFIED® network connection, supporting Acer SignalUp™ wireless technology2 System memory1, 3, 4 Single channel with onboard SDRAM and one soDIMM slot • DDR2 533 MHz SDRAM memory interface design • 1GB RAM Display 8.9" WSVGA high-brightness Acer CrystalBrite™ TFT LCD, 1024 x 600 pixel resolution • LED backlight • LVDS interface • 262,000 colors supported Storage1, 5 NAND flash module or hard disk drive for internal storage Hard disk drive: • 2.5" 9.5 mm 120 GB Storage expansion: • SD™ Card reader Multi-in-1 card reader: • Supporting Secure Digital™ (SD) Card, MultiMediaCard (MMC), Reduced-Size Multimedia Card (RS-MMC), Memory Stick® (MS), Memory Stick PRO™ (MS PRO), xD-Picture Card™ (xD) • Supporting storage cards with adapter: miniSD™, microSD™, Memory Stick Duo™, Memory Stick PRO DuoAudio High-definition audio support Two built-in stereo speakers MS-Sound compatible Built-in digital microphone Communication1 Integrated Acer Crystal Eye webcam, supporting 0.3 megapixel resolution WLAN2: Acer InviLink™ 802.11b/g Wi-Fi CERTIFIED® network connection, supporting Acer SignalUp™ wireless technology, LAN: 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet Dimensions and weight1 249 (W) x 195 (D) x 36 (H) mm 1.26 kg Color choices1 Sapphire blue Seashell white Power1 30 W adapter with power cord 57 W 2600 mAh 6-cell Li-ion battery pack 7-hour battery life for SKUS with NAND flash module and 6-cell battery pack7 Special keys and controls1 84-key keyboard with 1.6 mm (minimum) key travel Touchpad pointing device with two buttons 12 function keys, four cursor keys, one Windows® key for Windows® XP Home or one Home key for Linpus™ Linux® Lite version, hotkey controls, embedded numeric keypad, international language support Power button with LED Easy-access switches with LED: WLAN, WWAN1 I/O ports Multi-in-1 card reader SD™ Card reader for storage expansion Three USB 2.0 ports External display (VGA) port Headphone/speaker/line-out jack Microphone-in jack Ethernet (RJ-45) port DC-in jack for AC adapter Software1 Windows XP® Home • Acer eRecovery Management • Acer Launch Manager • Adobe® Reader® • McAfee® Internet Security Suite
I just thought I'd drop you a line as uk retailer sent me a flier in the post with a 7" netbook for sale for £179. Spec is pretty low but the link is here
spec is below although there seem to be a couple of downloads on their site..
Cheers

I dont see a date on your reviews. You say that xxx will be available soon but then we have no way of knowing when you wrote the article or when "soon" was, is, or will be.
Every article has a date. If it's on the front page of the site, the date is near the top of the article (just under the headline). If you're visiting an individual article pae, it should be near the bottom, by the comments.
Your Acer Aspire One specs in the table have a couple errors. First, the web cam is 0.3mp, not 1.3. Second, the 120G HDD based model with XP is now available. (I have one.)
These are reference designs, not actual computers. If you look at the list, you'll find several computers including the Cloudbook Max and the Fizzbook which are based on these designs.
The comparison chart is helpful. I would suggest: 1. Keep measurement units consistent in any column: Ex: Only use GB for Ram so sorts OK: 0.512 GB instead of 512 MB 2. More columns to separate data for better sorting: Ex: Separate Min & Max values into two columns. Ex: Separate display size and pixel count. Ex: Separate connectivity into columns by type. Ex: Separate storage type and size. 3. When various models are available show on separate lines. Ex: Storage type SSD and HD

Your chart http://www.liliputing.com/liliputers really needs to allow variable width. I have a widescreen monitor and I would like to see all of the columns of the chart without having to scroll left/right.
