    Does anyone know when the Asus W3J will be out? And who will be selling it? I wanted to find someone who can take a money order for it. Anyone think they will sell it on eBay?

    It will be April tomorrow bud - if you can't wait, run down to Circuit City and buy the first thing they recommend.

    Yea, that's true. I might wait. Or find the VAIO SZ and buy that...but I want a high resolution as well. But I guess the mid-April estimate could be wrong too, right? And then there would be back orders and delays which would prolong the wait for at least a month maybe?

    They both pale in comparison to someone like Justin at PROPortable. Call me a geek, but I think its fun to go in sometimes and ask them questions to see how many the will get wrong (always more than right)...it might be kinda mean, but its a lot of fun.

    lol yea that is always funny. They usually don't know anything. I've gone in there and have asked questions. They usually act like they are exactly sure...but then I find out they are wrong, usually after taking their suggestions and finding out that I didn't need what they suggested I should buy.

    Should I assume that the ASUS TabletPCs are coming out at the same time? I just realized how much a tabletPC can make things easier for me...
