I tried it. So did my wife. We both hate it. Even our friend (whose EEE
PC we checked out) who has a long history of liking smallish keyboard
layouts, only uses the EEE PC keyboard when he absolutely has to. The
rest of the time, he uses a regular keyboard.
I'm more keyboard focussed, too. I'd rather use a graphics tablet than a
mouse, anyway. ;-)

1) the
keyboard would take a LOT of getting used to - it's soooo
small!
That is actually not an issue. I thought it would be but once it sits on you
lap it's very confi and the keys are quite good. The only 'issue' is that
going back to a regular desktop/laptop makes you feek you're in front of a
boat :) 2) the display
model in the store had a glitchy, intermittent trackpad
button. I'm sure it took a lot of abuse in the past month or so it's
been there, but that's still not encouraging.
I didn't have any real issue with the trackpad itself. Mind you I am a
person that loves to use keyboard shortcuts and tabbing between apps so I
might be biases there. The only thing I do not like however is the mouse.
The action is not very nice, a but too hard (right click especially) but as
I said, I'm not using it too much so it's not a bug deal either
