heh, just got mine delivered today, and fired it up just to post this reply :-) It's a Toshiba AC 100 with an ARM-based Nvidia Tegra processor and Android operating system in a standard netbook form factor. I don't believe it's available in the US though, if that's where you are. First impressions: it's very light, to the point of wobbling around when I type with it on my lap. Many of the peripheral keys are very small for my Western fingers, although I feel I'm getting used to them already. It's fanless, and has only flash storage, so it's eerily silent and apparently gets up to 8 hours of battery life. The trackpad doesn't have enough vertical space to be comfortable, and there are neither function keys nor a delete key, although there are a whole row of special keys which presumably can be xmodmappped. The online reviews mention that Android provides a less than elegant interface with the lack of a touchscreen, and I agree; I was planning to install a Linux or BSD OS on it all along. As I understand it, that's pretty tricky; should make for a nice weekend project :-) As for why there aren't more of them around already, my best guess is that OEMs don't want to piss off Wintel by selling what is effectively a PC which doesn't use their platform, for fear of losing the discounts and rebates they get when they do. I hope I'm just cynical and there's a better reason; for casual use the system resources definitely seem adequate. Acutally, as soon as I get a proper OS and WM installed on this thing, I can easily see it taking up half of my computer time, and it will be brilliant for having a quick hack on the go... [edit] After the first half hour or so of usage, it's clear that the Android as currently installed is definitely not a good fit for a non-touchscreen, full-keyboard device: After 5 seconds of idleness, the screen dims, then blacks out completely, just like a phone would; navigating through screenfulls of icons using keyboard or mouse becomes tedious very quickly, and to top it off I've run into a few bugs as well.. This thing is begging for a linux/bsd makeover, hopefully I will uncover a real beauty...
