Yeah, but 4G is more common, but remember, this is all Solid State,
not hard disk. This is part of the reason for the smaller sizes. It is
also a good thing.

But one thing to remember is that the OS is optimized for less RAM and
disk space.

Again, the more popular size costs about $400, but the better config
that doesn't include the camera and soldered memory, costs about $350

facts, yes, impressions--that's opinion, now, isn't it... ;-)

Considering that the Foleo was intended to be nothing more than a
window to your phone, and not a stand-alone computer, with severely
limited functionality, I think the eeePC wins by a wide margin.
