Sorry lost track of this email, but I share your sentiment. We too have 
been trying to get our hands on an effective low cost mobile device like 
the $100 laptop to support and enhance Sahana mobile deployment. I felt 
this particular device is ideal because it is somewhat rugged, does not 
have dependency on access to electricity, supports mesh networks and 
runs natively on Linux!

Do keep us posted, if you get you hands on the ASUS and appreciate your 
recommendation for Sahana.
