A forum poster at eeeuser.com is creating a conversion kit for the Eee 701 that turns the wee-pc into a Samsung-ish UMPC. The collage kid is either genius or lazy too as it seems that the kit is simply a way to flip the LCD around on and display it on what was the lid. That way, the bottom part of the laptop doesn’t have to be ripped out and installed in another bezel. That’s at least how this early prototype appears. 

Eventually the kit will be available for sale, but there is no telling when that will happen. So someday soon, Eee owners will be able to stand out in the crowd again now that Eee netbook clones are all the rage. Soon they will be invading Starbucks and college campuses everywhere.
