These have been released in the US and overseas. They sell at $399 and not $199. I have one ordered from Newegg. There's a user group already at http://www.eeeuser.com/ They come with a 4 GB SD drive and Linux installed, but Asus provides a disk with XP drivers. I'm interested in it because it is solid state. I do mainly text processing on these little machines and I think this one would work very well. And I do think that people are getting more than 3 hrs on one charge. Check out the user group for more information.

Be interesting to see if it gets past vaporware phase!
