I try to do some regular news searches for AA1 stuff. While this isn't specific to AA1, this netbook docking station seems ideal for it and certainly seems like one of the things Ban Leong is targeting. 8-) They introduced this at the Comex 2008 show in Singapore. [b]Ban Leong introduces eGear Mini Notebook Docking Kit[/b] [i]New eGear Mini Notebook Docking Kit: Your UMPCs’ new best friend[/i] [url="http://www.hardwarezone.com/news/view.php?id=11717&cid=9"]http://www.hardwarezone.com/news/view.p ... 1717&cid=9[/url] [quote]The ePA series is compatible with Windows, Mac and Linux operating systems and work perfectly with Ultra-mobile PCs (UMPCs) e.g. Asus eePC, Acer Aspire One. HP Mini-Note, Packard Bell Easynote, Lenovo Ideapad, Dell Inspiron Mini etc. The ePA-106 comes with a high performance fan to deliver quiet cooling so that users no longer worry about their UMPCs getting overheated.

In addition, both models come with a spare 2.5” SATA HDD enclosure enabling users’ UMPCs to have a larger storage capacity of up to 320GB for all their important data. They also include USB 2.0 ports for a high speed data transfer.

[/quote]I fished around Ban Leong's Singapore site, and they do list the docking kits for sale there online: [URL]http://www.banleong.com/desktop/sg/latestproducts.aspx[/URL] They aren't exactly much to look at, but I pulled these pics off the corporate site there: Version w/ the DVD-RW drive (black only) [img]http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y121/corporalgeo/AcerAspireOne/1dab9d1b.jpg[/img] Versions w/o the DVD-RW drive [img]http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y121/corporalgeo/AcerAspireOne/fc299eaa.jpg[/img] Now I have no clue if it's a turkey or something truly useful. Or if they even plan to introduce it here (where I am) in North America. Just thought I'd toss it out there as something interesting. :D
