Until I get an LCD TV and a MythTV box :-) I'm just saying the EeePC is more suited to my needs (bigger screen than the GP2X for kids to use it in the car as a media player/games machine with a couple of USB joypads), plus with the advantage of having a keyboard built in and a useable desktop OS it's a great alternative to dragging out the bulky laptop (which in my case usually has a flat battery because I keep forgetting to charge it up).
