I'm still considering picking one of these up...anybody get one yet?

That shop should have them in now.

I'm a bit short this month so can't buy any toys.

edit - fark that they have put the price upto 518,000 Won

wAnkers.

My mistake that's the 8GB version they have in

EDIT: You mean this place, right? http://www.expansys-kr.com/p.aspx?i=159044

That's the place but they had 4G's for 388 when last looked.

Looks like they have changed their pricing.

Looks like it's on backorder anyway.

That's cool. Do they sell those in the USA?

I'd rather have the parents bring one over than pay the massive Korean mark-up. No doubt they'll put them up as high as at least 600,000.

Woo hoo!

eee PC warranty no longer voided by RAM upgrade.

I have one, got it a few weeks ago. I really like it so far it is super portable and easy to use, although the installed Xandros has no Korean language support and I am not willing to write, not do I have the knowledge to write, an IME for it, so I am going to switch to another Linux release with better Korean language support or just switch to XP. So far so good though. I bought it online in Canada and had my folks ship it to me,was supposed to pay 10% import tax on it but when I went and picked it up at the post office they didn't make me pay. I was even stupid enough to offer to pay. It seems like they are on back order worldwide at the moment though. A definite recommend if you don't need anything for really heavy duty computing, for me it is a second computer.

The "competition" has arrived.

That little thing looks interesting, but the small amount of memory put me off...
I went for one of these instead - http://www.gmarket.co.kr/challenge/neo_goods/goods.asp?goodscode=111410118&GoodsSale=Y&jaehuid=200000698&service_id=pcdn

It's a great device, and actually runs XP well so long as you don't expect to play games on it. Hook it up to a WiBro usb key and you have internet at your fingertips anywhere in Seoul..

They aren't much more expensive.

I do like them.

All I really want is an Ebook reader.

Sony one would be ok if I knew it would show PDF's ok.

There is another one on the market but can't recall it's name about 600dollars though.
