Rev on a Linux/Windows based HP 2133 Mini-Note? (was Smallest PC that can run Revolution?)

[Luis]

Found two more competitors:

ECS: http://www.pocket-lint.co.uk/news/news.phtml/12839/13863/ecs- 
hsdpa-broadband-laptop-notebook.phtml
Has HSDPA built in...

MSI Wind: http://crave.cnet.co.uk/laptops/0,39029450,49295955,00.htm

If you're looking for a target platform in the EEEPC mold then I'd  
suggest the Asus EEEPC, due to the current userbase.

Cheers,

Luis.
