How much?

At the bottom of the webpage there's this link:

which suggests it will seek for $235. If that's really the price I'd buy one today for my son.

Being released in the UK first at £150 (which is $240ish) - so they might be higher in the US at first with import costs. A great price though, and with HDMI would also double as a media centre for me.

If it's a UK company, I'm doubly amazed at all the editing misses on the main landing page. And I'm not a native speaker by far.

To be constructive:

    -Inch symbol missing in first sentence
    - Weird switch from "to work hard" to "and then relaxing"
    - Repeat of "to use" in first smaller paragraph (by the Android icon)
    - "its" instead of "it's" under Power and Portability
    - Weird ellipsis in the Play Store, should be "blah ..."/"... blah",
      not "... blah"/"... blah"
    - Missing opening parenthesis in the Ethernet port caption

I just noticed that it's got a resistive screen. I have a Samsung NB30 netbook with a resistive touchscreen and I wouldn't recommend this if it uses the resistive technology. At the very least I'd wait for a thorough review.
