I have been looking at the EE PC for my own use & that of a collegue.
Does it support mobile internet access ? I know it's bundled with
Red Hat on your side of the pond at least.

Over here I have not yet found an ISP that dont need WIndows XP or
Mac - OS - X Â to work the transciver dongles ( 3.5 G ) involved.

Fly & build good -

It I am not sure about that. It has wireless built in.
I don't think it has 3G built in.
I was thinking of looking into 3G myself. So far I have had
pretty good luck with the wireless even in the wilds of Australia.

Some people say 3G is rather slow.

It has a USB port so I guess if you got a 3G USB transceiver
that might work if they had a Linux version of the software.

There is also a Windows XP version of the Eee PC 1000HD.
However that requires a hard disk. My 1000 has 40 gig solid
state memory and six hours of battery life. With 16 gig USB memory
sticks available that seems to be enough. I can get all of my
files on three 16 gig sticks.

Apparently HP is re-labeling the AZUS EeePC.

Google for the dongle model number along with "linux" to see if
there's a driver or support for that dongle.  Some USB things are well
supported in linux and others aren't.  Given that Linux is Finnish,
I'd be surprised if there weren't good European support for whatever
hardware you have.
