Actually there's a ton of free software preloaded on the EEE - that somehow got by under the noses of the ASUS Marketing folks. :-) For me the EEE is fine for programming - particularly at 35,000 with those nice tight-pitch seats in Economy. :-)

It's suitable for surfing the web, email and reading documents and taking notes. It's small and light so it's perfect to carry around, you don't have to think "do I really need a computer with me today" - you can just bring it. The size is pretty much like a VHS cassette(if anyone remember those). For programming on the road, for me a ~13" laptop is ideal. Small enough, light enough, have full size keyboards, usually good screens. A lot more expensive though. The Eee is great, but for a developer it's not to use as main computer.
