Bummer! Don't give up hope yet. At least one report of someone receiving that 
message after the laptop. Just as I just got my "Coming soon" message this 
morning.

Don't know, have not connected to any other devices yet. Just got back 
from buying a wireless card. Hope to temporally share a connection from my 
computer so as to *not* have to take the DSL modem / router out of bridge 
mode.

Pretty much every 'activity' (program) opens slow but seems reasonably snappy 
to do stuff once open. Very awkward to use though, not only the small size, 
but the interface is nothing like Linux or Windows.
