Hello,
This is just for everyones' information that more manufacturers have jumped into the netbook bandwagon and one such model is from LG. A client of mine bought it from Vijay Sales for 19K. Specs:- LG X110 10" screen 1.2 Kgs 2.5+ Hr batter life Atom Processor 945 Mobo 1 GB RAM 160 GB HDD 1.3 MP camera 3 USB 1 VGA LAN and Wireless (lspci showed them as Realtek devices and the wireless was not detected by Lenny Live) Bluetooth One MM card slot Speakers. Mic and H/P sockets Preloaded with doze home edition
I found the screen to very bright but the camera was darkish, compared to the Aspire One. The dealer told him that the camera can be made bright through software settings but I have not tried it.

Is the keyboard size decent enough for desktop users?
I saw an ad in CompuTimes for an ASUS 1000H with similar spec. ASUS site claims support for GNU/Linux as well as the incumbent. No idea about the prices though.

I don't know typing so cannot comment on the ease of use but one good thing is that unlike the Acer, LG's Home and End keys are separate. In Acer they are lniked to the Fn key.

I checked out the camera of the LG netbook with the one of the Acer Aspire.
- Both are rated at 1.3 megapixels but the LG one is superior at factory default settings. Less grainy in the same lighting. Also faster in shifting focus of the lens objective. Then I went into the tools and changed the contrast and brightness and it improved some more. - However the built in mike when you capture video is not as sensitive as the mike of the Aspire. You have to be close to the mike and speak at a low pitch for clarity. It seems have some built-in filter to favour men with deep rumbling voices who sit intimately hunched over the machine! (Hope I'm not annoying some touchy people here!) - The playback audio quality is poorer than the Aspire. Max volume is not equivalent, way lower in the LG. The sound quality in both is sad, but the LG is comparatively tinny, as if the sound is trapped in a metal box. The tools do not seem to have any place for audio setting adjustments.
