I can't wait, I'll definitely buy one if it's in my area.Anyone know how someone in the UK could buy one?Shipping price for UK is $42. You can make an order on their website. They told me that the item will be available on 2nd week of October.

Yowch - shipping for a little thing like that is 1/3 of the cost of the machine?
Never mind - $162 total (about UKP85) is still pretty good for a "thin client", and it looks as if it's more-or-less pocketable. Just find a keyboard, monitor and mouse where you are, and plug in - I like the sound of that
Also, CF cards are so cheap now - about UKP10 for a 512Mb, and not much more for a full gig... if anyone here picks up one of these machines and tries it with DSL, could they please post a review?
Thanks, Tim.Actually, looking at this again:
I get the idea that 128Mb RAM could be a bit tight for DSL, especially if on this machine, it is non-upgradeable. Would I have to disable some features on bootup to get DSL to run manageably?
Also, would it be a bit underpowered for multimedia (XMMS (MP3/Ogg decoding, etc.), video, Flash animations, etc.)?
Having said that, if the MicroClient Jr can run Puppy reasonably well, I would think that DSL wouldn't cause problems... would it?Next Page...
