Most of you have probably read on various news sites that Asustek have announced a small lightweight linux based laptop with a 1GHz Pentium-M, 2Gb, 4Gb or 8Gb of flash based storage , 512Mb of DDR RAM, WiFi, 56.6K modem and a 7” screen.  Much like the OLPC project, but this will be readily available throughout the world.

Am I the only one thinking it would make a perfect platform for E-UAE?  Imagine one of these babies loaded with a very minimal linux installation (just enough to boot straight in E-UAE), and a fully loaded Amiga installation, including goodies such as AmigaKit, all in a cheap, lightweight portable package.   Using your favourite utilities and playing games on this ultra portable should be really cool.  Hopefully a generous developer will add direct support for the Wi-Fi capabilities in E-UAE and OS3.x, if it’s not already available.
