There may be some unique software on the Folio, but any OpenSource Linux software would most likely run equally well on both providing the Folio has an x86 compatible CPU (as all the others in the table do). If it has an ARM CPU (say) then there will be significantly less pre-compiled Linux application software available. |
The
comparison matrix in the wiki has been updated. The CPU is reported to be a 900MHz Intel Dothan based Pentium M.
BTW, Fry's carries a USB flash drive called the Kaser Portable Vault. They are about the size of an American cigarette package but half as thick and an inch longer. I bought the smallest one, 15G, for US$65. It is easy to carry and would be a good companion for the Eee.
Here is a page on the 30G version which has the same physical dimensions.
Here is the 20G version. In the ads they don't express that this is a solid-state flash device. There is apparently a
www.kaser.com, but I can't bring it up.
