eeePC 1000 Intel 945G Express Chipset
Aug 23rd
The eeePC is a sleek little machine that comes with a linux based os designed for kids. There is no desktop, but a reduced graphical interface with limited modification capabilities. To compensate you can install basically any linux distribution. Most linux distros will require substantial modification, and compilation of various drivers. Ubuntu, and other debian based distros have such a following that many people are making optimized kernel that can be downloaded. One example is array.org that provides a pre-built kernel, but there are some issues with the graphics driver that causes a massive instability on eeePC version 1000. Because of this if you want to use Ubuntu with eeePC v.1000 you either should wait for further development of the custom kernel, or a more well rounded version of eeeBuntu. Frankly I think Intrepid Ibex will have support out of the box for all eeePC versions, but in the mean time I will take the route of a default Hardy kernel with associated custom compiled drivers. Stability rules, and the only way to achieve this 100% is doing everything yourself. One compilation at a time. The new eeePCs will come with the Intel® 945G Express Chipset therefore you want a distribution that has a reasonable level of stability. You should definitely take a look at the following page which specifically deals with various linux distros and their compatibility with the Intel driver. http://www.intellinuxgraphics.org/user.html

Ok, I see what people mean about Android apps being extremely slow compared to iPhone apps. I’ve had about 315 downloads of the free version, and a whopping 5 downloads of the paid version. This by all means is exciting for the first week of distribution, but if thinks don’t pick up to some degree there will be no more reason to invest time and effort into the app. It would be more logical to begin another, more viral app that could sell more copies.
Also, users are extremely annoying when they leave negative comments for a bug, then do not update the comment when the bug is fixed. The nice thing about the Android market is that you can mark any comment as spam, and frankly a comment that was left about a bug that no longer exists is definitely spam.
I expect, and hope that Google updates the market establishing better standards. It would be nice to develop for the Android full time, but currently that is not even a consideration.
