Asus Express Gate
I love it but i/it have/has issues:
1. is the battery life extended or is this a os.toy?
2. it would be great to change the resolution (fixed 1280x800 i think!)
3. i can't update. well 1 in 50 attempts it updates (small widgets, mp3 player) but most of the time it says Server not found.. (wireless is working, because chrome never displays time out message) is there any other way to update this os.thing any other way?
The asus update only works in windows, and says no update needed..
