It was Best Buy. Maybe it was a combination of closeout and post-holiday sale (and no one seemed to like white), but I’ll check again next time I’m there.

Asus’ Chairman Sheh is as saying that the smaller Eee PC’s are going to be phased out in favor of 10″ models. Asus is also supposed to offer a $200 Eee PC this year.

Sub-$200? What store? For that price, even with the small keyboard, it might be a pretty good tradeoff. I agree with you on the keyboard, though. It is a bit small. I'm usually OK with smaller keyboards, but I have to admit that I haven't actually tested one of the netbooks to see if I can live with the keyboard. The major downside for me would be the inability to run Mac OS X (although there are ways to do this, I'm not interested in troubleshooting drivers and not being able to get updates without breaking something).

On the plus side, my local Big Box store had white 901A’s marked down below $200.

The screen size isn't the problem: the keyboard is. Full-speed touch typing just wasn't possible at 83% full size. I'm also worried about the battery life of the 3-cell models and am drawn much more strongly to the 7+ hours on the 1000 series.
