Fujitsu has put the 1.66 GHZ N450 UH900 on its regular US online store at $849 (after 2 rebates), plus some goodies thrown in.

It had previously been in the outlet store for some time.

Dynamism, in the meantime, has pulled 2 machines off its online store:

- the 2.0 GHz Japanese version of the Fujitsu UH900, which was priced at
around $1600 (clearly overpriced considering how Fujitsu USA priced the
1.66 GHZ US version).

- the $349 INKIA MID500 MID, so-called poor man’s Viliv S5, made by a mainland Chinese manufacturer, whose product was supposed to ship on Feb. 9.
Looks like shipments have been delayed, or worse. Dynamism had been taking
preorders.
