By all indications it is the current model. One week from Windows 7 and still no official word on the multi-touch version. I just found that Amazon US has it back in stock at the moment.

It would make sense for them to then resupply with the Windows 7 multitouch compatible version. Although I've read guesses that the price for the "T91MT" would be US$549, $50 more than the currently "available" version, maybe they'll just roll it in at the same price point as an upgrade bundled with Windows 7. Absorb the added cost of the new digitizer and extra SSD capacity (which I've read Asus promises for all Windows 7 machines)... well I'm allowed to dream. I am awaiting the multitouch version and hope it is not to be vaporware.

If you want multitouch you will have to wait for the rumoured T91MT as it seems to be referred to at the moment, that will ship with multitouch and Windows 7, if Asus are waiting for the release of Win7 before the official announcment we wont have too long to wait.

Look for supply to finally meet demand in the next few weeks. Indeed it has been supply. Look for supply to finally meet demand in the next few weeks.

I bought it on Amazon the day it was released it the U.S. (and it is still available here on a couple of ebay retailers. It's far from a pefect device, but the form factor is pretty nice, and with Windows 7 it runs rather well. I'm tempted by what I see on the Archos 5, but not having a hardware keyboard is a big minus. If I can be convinced that the S7 is better than the T91, I might try going that route.

In Germany it`s no problem to get the T91. There are several stores that list it as being in stock. And the situation has been the same when I checked about five weeks ago. Back then I really thought about getting one. The reason I`m not interested in the device is not the availability (becaus there is no problem here) but the fact that all reviews point out that asus hasn`t done its homework: - dark display (only ~100cd/m²) - low battery life - integrated battery (no extended battery possible) - no d-pad on bezel So the T91 is more or less useless (not only) for me. ?????

I will buy that in a second, probably a second one for Mrs. Vicente. Not going to buy a small SSD and XP now, and struggle with upgrading SSD and installing new Windows and all that. Particularly would rather wait for a product with capacitive touchscreen. I suspect that just like me lots of people are waiting for Windows 7 and multi-touch capable screen.
