I have a black 4G model, and the wife has a white one. She loves the 
pre-installed Xandros Linux install because "it's so easy to use" - from a 
non-techy who has used Win98, WinXP, Debian and Ubuntu.

RAM & 3x USB ports. Some people have hardware hacked the innards to add more 
USB ports and internalise some USB adapters (notably a 16G flash stick and a 
bluetooth card). 

Older ones also have a mini PCIe port, newer ones don't. Neither of mine do.

Worth noting that the Xandros kernel isn't compiled for large memory so it 
wont "see" more than ~940MB if you replace the 512MB stick with a 1 or 2G 
one. Of course you can replace that kernel, or indeed the entire OS - as I 
have done. Mine has a 1G stick and runs stock Ubuntu pretty nicely.

Cheers,
Al.
