| Unfortunately, you still need to re-flash the entire OS to get this version.
| There's an interesting post in this developers' blog about what to expect
| from next Nokia Tablet OS releases, code-named Chinook and its successor,
| code-named Diablo. Fortunately and according to the blog, Chinook will "come
| with a process to backup the data about the extra applications you have
| installed. Reflashing will be still needed since kernel + initfs still won’t
| be packaged, but at least users will get their extra apps back as part of the
| re installation process instead of having to manually install everything they
| had."

Who needs a CPU/RAM-greedy mobile when everything is handled by a remote
server? That's the future, also for small and light units like the Eee.

The only flaw if the use of Xandros, which pays Microsoft ransom fees, having
grouped with the Racketeering Mafia.

| As for that other famous low-cost notebook: The $188 OLPC XO laptop is a far
| more ambitious product in that its purpose is to educate children in
| developing nations. But that doesn't mean the Eee PC isn't a breakthrough in
| its own right. It brings affordable computing to everyone else, and without a

Asus Eee PC 701 Review - Ultramobile Notebook with Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| The Asus Eee PC 701 is a unique notebook solution that I think will be more
| successful in the US than many people are giving it credit for. Even though
| it might not be completely embraced here as it was in Taiwan, the features of
| it make it stand out as a great mobile computing solution. The combination
| of incredibly fast boot times, low weight and size and even a small price at
| just $300-400 will bring more attention to this Asus notebook than any
| previous one. For people on the go that need a simple computing solution,
| the Asus Eee PC 701 might be the perfect fit.
