Amazon just added the eee pc to their store here: http://www.amazon.com/Eee-PC-Screen-900-Preloaded/dp/B00191PKJK/ref=sr_1_13?ie=UTF8&s=pc&qid=1210562366&sr=1-13
One of the complaints about this new laptop is that it has a smaller battery than the 700. This is unfortunate because mobility is really what you are paying for with this machine; mobility and long battery life are synonymous in my book. Speaking of, I did get to try out the OLPC over the weekend, I will have to write up a review of it later. But the battery life was pretty decent, and with that laptop new batteries are only $10.
