Not really surprising. Intel kicked this off with the Classmate which was at 
least partly an exercise by them to test the market. AIUI they actually want 
OEMs to make competitive devices (using Intel chipsets of course) which has 
already started with the EEE (and others). 

I can see a number of companies making these things given the popularity of 
the EEE both here and abroad.

Cheers,
