Andy, that is exactly the same as mine only in black rather than girlie pink.
Has everything you said you needed; Bluetooth, wireless and holds a 16GB card.

I agree, the 901 is a great bit of kit. It's feature rich and has
better network support than most other netbooks. Storage space wasn't a factor
for me either, but I liked the 20Gb off-site storage space offered as part of
the package.
The keyboard quirks do take a little getting used to, but no more than
getting used to the switch from a desktop to laptop keyboard generally. I love
the fact the 901 is small enough to fit into my usual bag, so there's no need
to carry extra baggage around. It's light too, at just 1.1Kg, so is really no
hassle to carry around.
The battery life is superb. I easily get five or six hours up time,
from full charge. Running Win XP, Jaws and several MS apps, this is definitely
good going.
It's also one of the cheapest options out there. Amazon have it for
just £285 at the moment.

Hi Andy
Just my own personal thoughts:
I went for the Asus even though it has a small memory as Steve says. Mainly
because I don't want it to store files on and with a larger memory I felt I
might be tempted to do this and slow the whole thing down. Mine is an Asus Eee
PC 901 and has everything I need - Bluetooth, wireless, memory card slot, three
USB ports etc. The keys are not too small either. A few things - The right hand
shift is in a different place, there is no control on the right side and the
Enter key is not its usual shape. Once you get used to these things it is a
great little piece of kit. It is practically silent even when the fan is going,
the speakers are not at all tinny as they were with my larger laptop and even
with 1GB of RAM it is very fast, especially when on the Internet via my
wireless connection.
I got mine on Amazon not Play simply because they had a nice little pink
one, but I don't suppose that would appeal to you!
With all the hype about the NC10 on here which would not be as small and
neat as mine, I just thought it was about time someone spoke up for the poor
old Asuses!
