And the Pandora is a sad tale of delays.
I was in the same situation a couple of months ago when I realized that Nokia was not releasing the N900 before Christmas.
I ened up buying the We Surf
(http://www.wedigital.fr/index.php?pa...roduit=we_surf)
which is the same as the Clevo TN70M (http://www.umpcportal.com/products/Clevo/TN70M/).
I have a N800 and HP laptop, and before I had this Netbook, I spent my time between the HP and the N800. Now I realize that most of the time I use only the We-surf.

There is times when laptop is more suitable (eg. when I am at a table) and times when the tablet is best. With this Netbook I have the 2 in the same machine. Other issue that bothered me on the N800, is the screen size that made it difficult to read some web sites. I find that 7" is a good compromise between mobility and confort. One issue than I came to appreciate in the Netbook is that I have along side the screen, on the left the 2 mouse buttons and on the right the mouse weel. This is great to browse the net and use the Netbook as a PC.

The OS is Ubuntu, and the amount of available applications is amazing.
I paied 340 Euros for this wonder... (same as I would pay for a N810)
