this is what i had in mind with teh ipod touch but cheaper and more functional.

Like I said the specs ain't much..but it's got wifi, I can web browse, email, work on code...it turns on and shuts down pretty instantaneously, has USB for external hardrive...I mean for $250 it's less than a PDA and you get better functionality to actually work on the thing...perfect for traveling and shit...

This laptop is awesome for $250. It costs less than most devices do nowadays, and has 3 (!!) USB ports.

how much of that 2GB do you have left after the OS?

(Sep 18 07, 09:28)Not sure...I have it on pre-order..but it's running a slimmed down linux OS..I'll probably do all storage on external media...when I get it in a few weeks I'll let you know..the RAM is swappable as well..but not sure if going to 1gig is going to make that much difference with that machine..I just like the portability and the 15 second startup and superfast shutdown..

I bought a similar acer on clearance from compusa a couple of years ago for $350...It is the best purchase I have ever made, and is way more functional than that $250 laptop,-I'd rather have an Ipod Touch than that thing.
If you look around you can find some pretty good deals at the big box retailers on cheap no name computers

size is the main difference with me. it looks like it's about the size of a psp. it's handheld size. i kinda regret ordering an ipod touch.
