We're planning to take on on our circumnavigation of the world by bicycle. And will be using it to blog from some pretty out of the way places so its good to hear that it's functioning well.

The EEE PC above belongs to a local journalist who carries the laptop (minitop/babytop) in her handbag - the main intention being to process audio snippets on the fly to email back to base, something I could see a great use in. The sheer size and portability is great. Didn't get to check the webcam option on it though. For checking email, watching a few streaming videos, catching up with feeds, it would certainly make for a nice companion. Plus the pricing of it isn't colossal. I would imagine after a while that the 512mb ram might be an issue, knowing that XP can still be a bit of a beast at the best of times, especially if you move into any kind of multimedia authoring but for getting down to basics on the road it's a good option to swing for. Is there a planned release date for the Dell mini? I saw those Dell Minis recently on the Dell site, must say, they look impressive.

As soon as the Ubuntu version of Dell's new Inspiron Mini is launched here I'm putting in my order (which my nephew will be delighted to know!)
