Yes, that's true. The tiny Eee PC is making such a big impression on geeks and tech-heads that Sony is leery of the product.
"If (the Eee PC from) Asus starts to do well, we are all in trouble. That's just a race to the bottom," said Mike Abary (from Sony).

...but is an application for the PSP. It's called MyStylist and is for gals to manage their wardrobe. It even comes with a camera for the user to take snapshots of clothes in her closet. Just the app for my wife, so I bought it for her. She can use it with my PSP, but I'm thinking of getting one for her to use on her own.
The Eee PC is a pretty hardy machine. As shown in this video, the Eee PC was put through a series of drop test and extreme temperature. This little baby survived them all. However, my heart skipped a beat when the Eee PC was dropped.
I´ve been spending the past few days tinkering with my Eee PC. So far, I´ve added a couple of software, including running WINE, so that I can use the iSilo reader to read those documents that I converted and mostly reside on my Treo. Although I have activated the ¨Advanced Desktop¨ mode, I´ve decided to stick with the Easy mode. However, I got rid of the AsusLauncher and used IceWM together with Rox-Filer instead. I´m quite happy with the result.
I even installed this little app called Mercury to give me something that´s close to the Quicksilver experience on the Mac. It´s still in early beta but it´s still sweet.
Having used my 12" Powerbook for some time, I'm seriously looking at something that can replace it. So when the Macbook Air was announced, I was itching to get my hands on it. It's super sexy looking, light, and runs Leopard (my current PB is still on Tiger). But after the initial euphoria about Apple's thin machine, I realise that the Air is too much of a luxury. For that price, you could be getting something better. So I decided to stick to my PB.
However, something else caught my eye - the ASUS Eee PC. It's a cheap and interesting machine that seems to get getting rave reviews from users. So during my recent holiday to Bangkok, I found that the Eee PC is cheaper than in Singapore. Hence, I decided to buy this little Linux-powered baby. I figured that it's also a good opportunity for me to learn Linux. In addition, I also bought a 2GB stick so that I can install Ubuntu using USB, an 8GB SDHC for extra storage, and a case.
