www.pcworld.co.uk list it for GBP500 (equivalent to US$1000), which is quite high given its limited feature set!
I'll be following the product closely to see when it comes down in price and how well linux runs on it - I'd think the Fujitsu U810/U8240/wotsit is a better bet for ultraportability. |

Please see the comparison with eee PC.
It costs not more than US$600. The way it evolves, I would rather wait for Apple's sub-notebook in 2008. |

Does the nanobook run any known distro (without some annoying hitch- like no wifi,or no suspend)?
After reading up on GPL violations and distro problems my enthusiasm for the eeepc has diminished |
