Asus EeePC X101

2011-08-10T02:34:00.000-07:00

It should cost less than 200 $ or 170 €. Here is a small video of that nifty new toy :

From what I know it should come with a 250 or 320 Gbs HD and will run on Linux. I'll definitely keep you more in touch once I'll have news.

Well not a netbook ... but

Well I know this is not a netbook but it sounds promising, it's a bit like the peek, its a small portable device 7 inch wide that run under Android 2.1 :

The Binatone :

It won't have a touchscreen but it will have QWERTY keyboard and a battery lifetime of over 6 hours and it could fit in your pocket !

It should cost around 150 €. Do you like it ?

Not really a netbook but quite nifty !

I know it's not really a netbook ... but it looks pretty nice ... it's called the Peek :

What is it ? Basicly it is something that just let you connect to your emails and let you send an unlimited number of e-mails. It should arrive in Europe soon. It's great because in Europe the roaming fees are just awful and if you travel a lot that small gadget could let you save a small fortune.

I don't really know it specs but here are some pictures :

As you can see it will be available in a lot of colors, which one would be your favorite ?

Personally I kinda like the pink one :
