CNET posters are predominantly technology geeks. Whereas the Eee is clearly built - and priced - for the masses.

As made evident by the projected sales: we are looking at 3 to 5 million units sold over the coming year.

The Eee is a ripoff anyway. You could get a N800, Bluetooth Keyboard, USB Host adapter, Bluetooth Speakers, and 16GB SD Card instead of an 7inch Eee.

Indeed... the fact it appears in the top 20 makes the list suspicious, for the Zune to top the list at #1 is a flat out joke - maybe Microsofties in Redmond have been madly clicking the "I want it!" button for the last few months... nobody else would buy that shite! :)

I've personally seen three outside of the store. Two of them were in pieces being turned into one. Dude dropped his and he was replacing the screen with one that quit working.

I'd rather have the N800.

The Eee is too big, offers too little, has the wrong form factor for an UMPC, and by running Xandros, it's raping open source software.

The Eee is a fine example of what NOT to do for a new device.

You forgot to add one more factor: price.
