5x8? add a keyboard, and it's very close to the eeePC's dimensions. Differences:
- much lighter (because ARM uses less power, therefore lighter batteries for same battery life; lighter construction in general; and lighter because no keyboard.
- connectivity (3G). This really is an internet appliance.
BUT I really don't think it can work without a keyboard (please make me famous by quoting me if I'm wrong!) Possibly, a large touch-screen keyboard would be workable enough to be useful, even without tactile feedback; but I really think it would be mainly a gimmick.
BTW: I typed on a video-hire kiosk's touchscreen today, and although slow, it was much less frustrating than I expected.
