All, it looks like there are more contenders in the netbook arena. Dell put out it's SSD netbook 2 weeks ago and now Averatec is releasing a netbook with similar numbers as the newest AA1. It is at a higher price point, $449 [url="http://news.cnet.com/8301-17938_105-10046585-1.html?tag=TOCmoreStories.0"]http://news.cnet.com/8301-17938_105-100 ... eStories.0[/url] The Averatec hasn't released all of its specs but I would bet they looked at the AA1 and tried to match it. The good news is the AA1 has them beat on price $399. With all this competition, I hope to see price reductions similar to the drop last month. Now all they have to do is start delivering them in the USA!! I ordered my AA1 160 GB with 6 cell from Amazon and I am still waiting for it to be shipped. Acer better get its act together!! Cheers...
