I spotted this on the web-site of one of our local stores:

No mention of sw. but I called and they said Ubuntu (can install WinXP). The store is expecting 100 to arrive next week.

This looks pretty nice - if you can handle the form factor. If it came in a tablet form factor then I would have ordered one, but I will go and take a look when they come in. I am just not sure about reaching over the keyboard to use the touch screen.

Anyway, 1 gb, 30 gb hdd, touchscreen, detachable Skype handset, just about every connectivity option, decent battery life, and so on...

This space is getting interesting.
