    I noticed that onlinecomputer has started selling the MSI Wind in Australia!

    http://www.onlinecomputer.com.au/product_info.php?products_id=226

    Unforunately, it's overpriced at the moment and for some reason they're lacking the angelic white colour option. I'm surprised that the website does offer a 2gig of ram option though. From what I have read, upgrading the ram or harddrive voids warranty. I wonder if this upgrade option is official?

    Either way I'm pumped! Hopefully we'll get more suppliers soon and the price will become a lot more reasonable.

    699.00 AUD = 673.41 USD

    So it's only about 173 dollars more expensive. Which is a lot more expensive than I'm willing to pay. I hope it goes down soon, because I really want one. Actually, I just hope it becomes widely available soon!
