I should stress that I'm probably an unusual data point in that I could touch-type tolerably well and quickly on a Psion 5, but.... From having owned both 9 and 10 inch Eees (still got the 10, lovely machine) - the 9 was perfectly manageable for me but the 10 I'm as fast as I am anywhere. I regularly use it to take sermon notes at church and have before been able to keep up fast enough to produce a readable (if a little abbreviated) version of the presenters' material, because a friend used it for exactly that. Now, I'm probably a bit unusual there and I could've sold tickets to some from their expressions watching me concentrating on the speaker as my fingers flew across the keyboard, but I don't see typing on a 10" netbook as any hardship at all.
