This seems like a much better deal than the Palm Foleo.

http://www.palm.com/foleo/

 

The Foleo is also supposed to run Linux.

They (the Foleo and the Eee) look like remarkably similar devices. They both
are using flash instead of a hard drive and run Linux. If you can get the
Asus Eee to connect to your phone it would be a way better deal. The article
here didn't mention any Bluetooth support, and from everything I can find,
it does appear that the Eee does not include Bluetooth. That sounds like the
biggest advantage of the Foleo. Otherwise the Eee is better in every way,
more memory, lighter, smaller, and a built-in camera & mic. Though some may
like the 10inch screen on the Foleo vs. the 7inch on the Eee. However, the
biggest advantage of the Eee is the price, $200 vs. $500! Palm appears way
too high.

Looks like a good around-the-house webtop.

Asus is bringing out a $200 Linux notebook, I have had good results
with Asus motherboards in the past. This looks like a good thing to
have when I don't want to haul my big laptop around.
And if it sells a bunch, it could convert people who would not have 
considered Linux.
