The 8.9-inch Amilo packs the obligatory Atom processor running at 1.6 GHz to power the 1 GB of memory and 60 or 80 GB hard drive (no SSDs offered). The Amilo will be a Windows XP device and has an ExpressCard slot, something that is not that common on netbooks."</em><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/dht/auto/1220119017.usr10.jpg" /></p><p>I don't this this is at all attractive looking, but then again, I kind of like the styling of the original Eee. However, the addition of an ExpressCard slot helps differentiate this one from the pack.</p>

The card slot does make it a bit more expandable but the bezel is too thick. Looks to be a good 1/2 inch bigger than on the Aspire One. It has a higher res web cam but the platter speed is awful. Why no mention of the LG w/3G on the same page?

Video on the LG is at the bottom of the page

I thought it was worthy of a separate posting, should go live soon.
