This reads like the Incredible Shrinking Spec List.

The 8G appears to be available. Very tempting...

Oh where?

Just wondering what do you guys do with these things? I mean I do fancy one but I worry it'll just be another back of the drawer thing once novelty wears off.

Newegg for one:

Or do a search and you should get some product hits:

Maybe they're only out in the US?

The reason I'd get one is to have something light to bring on trips rather than lug around my six pound laptop. I was hoping the battery life would be better, though, so I'm not 100% sold on it yet.

I thought I read a while ago that Wimax was dead. Is it something that would ever hit the UK significantly anyway?

I've just ordered one of these to go with my Eee

http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/product/15388.htm

I'll just leave it plugged into one of the usb slots (The left side one I think) and it'll mean I don't have to carry my large bluetooth dongle around anymore.

The new bluetooth dongle works brilliantly. Here's a shot of it hooked up.

Much better than the bigger one I used to have to use.

Nice one....might have to pick one of those up for my old Sony Picturebook (and the Eee PC if I ever get one).

so i'm assuming you didnt have any problems getting it working with the xandros distro?

think i'll order me one of them tomorrow so i can start using it with my n95

I don't use Xandros. I installed Kubuntu ages ago. I couldn't get Xandros to pair with my phone at all. Other people have so I've heard.
