Craig:
What are the dimensions of the screen (of those machines), in pixels?
I'll ask that question to the manufacturers this week.

I am honored by the responses here. Answers to some questions ...
Yes, I will have updates and ordering through bigtigerimports.us. Jan
31st is my target. Won't be easy, though. There is lots to do.
Q: "Will the processor be multi-core?"
A: Some will be regular I5 - I7's. The Atom processor combines many functions
into the chip itself. Graphics, memory controller and I/O interfaces are
integrated. The range of devices available to be is, frankly, overwhelming. I
have picked the current to start because it is more rugged than you'd expect a
Netbook to be, it has all the standard ports including VGA out, and I think
that its having a real 500GB Hd puts it into a different class.
Q: Will you offer Solid State drives (possibly as an upgrade? as $300
wouldn't be enough to cover that).
A: I am not a big fan of SSD as the primary drive. I see many failures. The
technology that looks best is hybrid, using some flash and the rest
mechanical in one package. Those rock and install into the exact drive bay with
standard equipment.
Q: And finally, what graphics chip are you using... I suppose since you
have an Atom processor it will be Intel graphics (which generally works
well), basically I am wondering if it will be capable of running higher
end 3d graphics
A: As above, the graphics controller is integrated into the Atom. Performance
with video is very nice. All the multimedia stuff I've run was very smooth.
With LXDE the interface snaps. The only thing I've found causing any slowdown
is when I have many programs in several categories. If there are, say, 50
programs in Education, there can be a 2 - 3 second delay in opening a cascade
window to the right and displaying the contents.
Right now, the target market is the USA and base language is English. I don't
see why we could not have, say, a French version with as many programs in
French as possible and as many French ebooks as I can acquire. There is no
particular limit.
Let me know what you'd like and I will try to do it.
