Asus Eee PC 4G sub-sub-notebook

One major omission

Shame there's no Bluetooth, or it might get my money instead of the new Nokia N810.

An ultra-portable is great if you have wifi, but if not, you need a BT tether to a phone.

From 1981: the World's first UMPC

Mine was still regularly used until a couple of years ago...

I used to use it as a portable serial terminal until a couple of years ago. It got excellent battery life, and the screen was easily readable in all but the brightest light, which was great when I also used to use it for cricket scoring a few years ago.

I'll have to get it back down from the loft this weekend now just to smile wistfully at it...
