    I'm looking to purchase the Asus EEE 9inch when it comes available, but has anyone compared the specs with the upcoming HP UMPC 2133?

    http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/19/hps-umpc-2133-revealed/

    What are the pros and cons between the two and does the Asus still remain the king of the hill?

    thanks

    Great, now I'm going to have to put that HP UMPC into my 'Things I want' list.

    If the price is reasonable (and affordable), I will definitely get that HP. Much more features than the Eee PC.

    There's hardly any info on the 2133, no specs at all. Some rumors say it will use Intel chips, others say it will use Via, everything is real hazy on it right now but it has got my interest and am waiting for more info to come out. :)

    When I called HP's toll free line a few weeks ago, they said to call back in a month to six weeks that according to their screen it should be available for purchase or pre-order.
