I just found this review of another EEE competitor.
No sign of the EEE 900 locally; any indications stateside or EU way?
It certainly looks the part.
CTL IL1 Netbook $50 Cheaper Than Eee PC, Has Better Specs [Gizmodo, AU]
Ultraportables or netbooks as Intel is wont to call them, are officially a dime a dozen now, but an upcoming model, the IL1 from CTL (who's making the Classmate 2) looks like it might shake up the market, at least a bit, if being the cheapest thing around is the bottom line.
