I look at it like this - for $50-100 LESS than the cost of the Nokia
N800 (not to mention most PDAs), you get a fully fledged computer.

Remember, despite its appearance, the eeePC is NOT a notebook - it's a
new type of device that sits between PDAs/tablets and laptops/notebooks.
It's therefore more useful to evaluate it against other smaller devices
than the bulkier, 'full featured' ones further up the price scale.

I was disappointed with the lack of features on internet tablets, and I
always found laptops too big, usually requiring an extra bag to carry
around. The eeePC addresses both of those problems exceptionally well
IMHO.
