Everex itself, is not a great threat, all they appear to have done, is buy components, and set them together, with the very old C7 processor by Via....but you are on the right track. F.I.C will have to improve on the processor with Via first, along with the motherboard to make a big difference, although the EEEPC is a 900 hertz and the Everex is a 1.200 hertz, the rest of the components on the motherboard, have to be optimal, as well as compatible, to get the most out of it..VIA shares have been rock bottom for a while now, because of the licence trouble, with intel...but I guess I will take interest in Via.durain wrote:you might want to hold on buying the eee pc!

actually, when samsung came out with it's first UMPC, i got one in for a trial. unfortunately in terms of mobile usability, it wasnt any good as the battery life is only about 1 hour.
you sure it's taiwan and not korea? (and china!). there's only a handful of LCD/plasma manufacturer now as all the big companies joined up, like samsung and sony, where the LCD panels are the same (but not the electronics). even the japanese companies are joining together in the manufacturing and R&D.ksl wrote: Most people don't know that Taiwan make most of the worlds Flat TV's, for samsung, sony and other famous brands now, because of the consolidation, in the industry.
Positive about Flat TV, becuase Samsung who were the biggest, started to outsource to Taiwan, instead of building new fabs, along with Japan, I invest in 4 of Taiwans. AUO, CMO, Hannstar, ChungWha Picture Tube, Although more competitors came into the market...the last 2 have sold off their 3rd generation fabs, to become profitable, and to focus on core activity.you sure it's taiwan and not korea?

i think at the end of the day, it is really what you want to use it for. i have used the nokia E61 (wifi) and blackberry 8800 (gprs/edge) to surf the net and it is terrible as the screen is so small! initially i thought it's so cool to surf the net within my palm but after a while, i got bored with the scrolling up/down and left/right.
another option could be the asus eee PC. small enuf to lug about and big enuf screen to do some serious surfing the net.
