I always forget the name of it, but there's an effect that impacts the purchasing of new computers by consumers when a new product is announced.

What's the name again? :-/

There is an 8.9" LCD 1024x600 display that should fit into the existing Eee design with minimal modifications.
That, I would go for! Unless they jack up the price too high...
Otherwise I would consider some smaller tablet/notebooks e.g. HP has one with a 12" display that is about $950, about 4.5 lbs, dual core, 1GB RAM, 160GB HDs, NVidia 6150, DVD, etc.

I'm not surprised. With the 7" model already flirting with prices that much more powerful machines are available at I think a 10" model might prove a hard sell.

I think the perfect laptop is 12" screen, external optical drive, DVI-out, Firewire, a dual core processor, and the possibility of 4 gigs of RAM. Among other things of course, but that's a pretty good outline. And I want all the ports to be on the back. Side ports get in the way of mousing.

I've got a 10" Eee Pee....errr...nevermind. :P

They'd be fooling to not at least TRY and get a marketable 10" Eee PC
