Asus Eee 701 vs. Nokia N810 - Linux Fight!

,----[ Quote ]
| As for myself, I'm sticking with the N810 as my favorite "secondary"
| (non-phone) device. It fits my life much better than the Eee does. However, I
| am not one to turn away from a well-designed ultraportable. I'm going to have
| a good deal of fun with the Eee and enjoy it as my secondary home computer,
| but the N810 will get a lot more use out of the home.
