I had been thinking about getting an iPod Touch. Not so much for music storage, but for a small wireless internet device. But the touch keyboard is very small and the screen size is so tiny.
My son suggested that I look into an Asus EEE PC -

It's a small laptop computer, no hard drive, it's flash based. It comes with a Linux OS, but I've read online that it can be used with Windows XP, although I'm fine with Linux. Once you open up a Firefox browser, it's just like what I'm used to anyways. 3 USB slots and a card slot for adding extra flash memory.
I'm not going to replace my desktop, it's for wireless internet access in the kitchen or outside or anywhere around the house. I like the size and weight and simplicity. I don't need something to fit in a pocket, like the iPod Touch, but I also don't need something as large as a regular laptop.
I'm considering the 4GB Surf model for $349.

Does anyone here have one? What are your thoughts on quality and usability?
