    The Asus T91 netbook was suppose to be released already. I remember reading awhile back microsoft had prohibited venders from selling netbooks with xp and touchscreens together. I wonder if this is whats holding it up.

    ASUS made some mistakes and realized they were losing massive amounts of dough. They are doing some house cleaning, and part of their plan was to delay the release of newer models until April/May 09. The T91 just hit the FCC, so following the schedule of other netbooks, it usually takes them no more than a month to get to resellers after clearing the FCC tests.
