Some things that jump out:
- QVC gets to sell it first… er… right.
- It will be available on Dell.com on February 26th – one day before my pre-announced release date here
- QVC price is $559
- Weighs 2.86lbs
- 2 choices of Atom processor: Z520 or Z530
- 160GB 5400rpm HDD … no SSDs for the release
- 1GB of fixed RAM (non-upgradable)…. fail.
- No Ubuntu for release – coming later this year.
- GPS / TV Tuner / 720p screen all to be released later in the year. Goddamit.
Summary: Not a lot of netbook for a lot of money. I’m going to have to reconsider which netbook to buy now.

Yo, i was considering this netbook as well but for that price i don’t think so. Now I’m thinking more about the wind u100 although i dont like the look as much

ryohei> Yea, there are a few I’m looking at. The EEEPC 1000H looks decent.
