I take a little exception to this being equivalent to "available", though. If a unit is preorderable, that doesn't actually mean it's here. I'll be glad to see the units shipping, but we have to wait... just a little bit more. :| We'll be happy to post on it again, though, when regular review sites and users get their hands on it. I'm also curious if Sony will take the bait and start offering their U model devices here... as it is, they've already beaten OQO out of the gate, but they're only officially selling the units in Japan.
