The ECS G10IL does have a built in HSDPA/HSUPA-SIM-Modem & 6 cell battery which runs over 4hours working with office apps!

Nice looking netbook. Does anyone know if the 8.9″ version is actually smaller? Or will it have the same footprint with just a larger bezel?

So, it weighs more than the Wind. It’s keyboard is obviously smaller (from the comparison pictures), plus it has the goofy right-shift placement.

What is it exactly that would make this a Wind “killer” (or Asus 1000H for that matter).

It’s looks? The fact that it is shinier? A better hinge? For something to be a “killer” it must be night/day better. This looks like it’s debatable whether it’s even up to par, particularly since there is no firm pricing.

First off, thanks for giving some much needed info on this, you always do a good job. I’ve wondered about the g10il since it was announced in the spring.

and… i completely missed the live broadcast… is there anyway you could put it (or parts of it) on youtube? battery life info would be especially appreciated.

Not to sound pushy, but is there a reason there is no full review yet. ECS not allow it because of the ‘pre-production’ status perhaps?

Don’t suppose you could tease with just a few performance numbers or benchmarks!?

Thanks for all the great work these past few months, you coverage on netbooks has been by far the most thorough and consistently accurate.

“I think you guys should have a picture of a person holding the netbook (closed) in their hands at least 6 feet away from the camera. This gives us an impression of the actual size of the netbook.”

Well said. Size comparison is usually impossible because of close-up and/or wide angle lens effects. Many of us live in places where there are no 9- or 10-inch PCs to see. I recently drove 60 miles to see my first Eee PC, when a Best Buy store finally got in a few (the 900 16G XP), just so I could get a idea of the hands-on size and feel. (Holding a 9″ ruler in your hands is just not the same

I couldn’t agree more. Is this to appeal to children, or is it perhaps an Asian fashion thing (~Asus S101)? To me, it is reminiscent of toys, cheap plastic soap or toothbrush holders and such. This is spreading to large gaming laptops, some of which now look like glossy hard candy.

What’s with the fascination with shiny surfaces? Nothing but grease galleries and glare reflectors. I have come up with a word to describe all these disgusting gadgets: smudgets
