To summarize the specs, they all feature a 7 inch screen. RAM varies between 256 MB and 1 GB. The solid state disks range from 2 to 8 GB. The built-in camera is optional and the battery options range from 4400 to 5200 mAh.



The prices are not yet posted, but word has been that the lowest price model will be available to consumers for around $249. Of course, this will be for the lowest spec'd model. While this is still a REALLY cool product at a great price point, I feel like they have over-promised and under-delivered on this one. When the price was originally $199, I was really expecting to be able to get a 10 inch screen model loaded for under $400. That said, I'll still probably be getting my hands on one ASAP. If you also are interested in getting one of these, we’re working closely with Expansys to get a pre-order page set up as soon as they’ll allow it.

If this thing comes in at under $250 USD, I'll pick one up, mostly just for fun. This is an important step toward the important scenario where every room in the house has a small, portable computer...
