Atom offers 802.11 b & g if I'm not mistaken...Eten gives you 802.11 b.

Atom also gives you the FM Radio which is absent from the Eten - this was not a priority for me anyway.

Atom is also smaller than the Eten (which is quite compact by itself!).

I've seen and used the Atom, but I couldnt get one for a side-by-side comparison here since its not sold in the Middle East.

That said, Eten's OS is much more stable (it has its share of minor bugs) and they are quite prompt in releasing new updates - they have released about 5 ROM updates to the market since they brought out the product, as compared to O2s sluggish response.

BUT - The Eten is at least $150 - $175 cheaper than the Atom or the iMate (depending on where you buy it from).....................you cant beat the device for value for money, performance or stability.
