It's a mini-tablet and the 1620 has a core2duo cpu... I'd say it still is the best around, even though there are a few very nice features missing, like an embedded 3G and an expresscard... 8.9” with touchscreen would be the Fujitsu P1610 or the newer P1620.

(Ie, there are already models ready for production which will have larger batteries.) Given the number of models and options it's difficult to keep track.

With this deal thru these outlets... is there a way that you can "get a refund of monay paid for the XP part", if you don't use it, will never use it, etc? If so, then how exactly is the refund process done? Question: For someone who does not want the Windows Virus headaches, and who will be using Ubuntu instead.

Gigabyte M912. Just got off the phone with someone about it. I will have some official info in a few days. Possibly a sample in three weeks. 8.9" 1024x600 (or 1280x800) normal netbook build + expresscard/34 + 31wh battery + touchscreen. Price is said to be 'very good', 1.2KG, Option: Windows XP or Vista or Linux. OPtion: 4GB flash, 80GB HDD, 160GB HDD. Nice to see XP on a touchscreen! Steve. Tal.

Wait a few months until more UMPCs are available and you'll get a better deal. Not a bad spec but overpriced by about 100 euro.

We are looking at 50.000 units and if we add more countries to the list that might rise to 100.000. Either the production problems with Atom never happened (as Intel have always claimed) or supplies will be far more limited than we think. @Steve,
