The larger 10" version may not be that much larger in dimensions than the  
7" version if they move the speakers and make better use of the  
potentially available screen space.

Interestingly ASUS already have a 11" notebook in their product range  
although way more pricey.

4GB of flash disk space is just too small. I'll wait for the 10" version  
that should have at least double the disk space, even if it costs a couple  
hundred dollars more it'll be worth it.

Are there any specs released on the new 10" version?
