I have both. Not sure if you’ve heard yet but the OLPC keyboard sucks for adult hands when it comes to typing. I love everything else about the machine but the keyboard pretty much makes it useless for writing on, which is a shame. As a result, I’ll keep the eeePC (which has a good keyboard but worse everything else) and ditch the OLPC.

That’s awesome David! We’ll have to compare our ultra-sub-mini-nano notebooks when you get yours.

I just found out from Pam today (she couldn’t wait) that she got me one (and some kid somewhere as well)!

Am really anxious to play with it, see how it works, and see how it works here. I think it would be super cool to bring it in as a note-taking machine at a meeting at IBM. Yeah, that would be sweet!

Nice comparison, John. I’ve been coveting one of those OLPCs since they announced they would be developing them.
