    Yes, it is out. It is under Medium/Large buisness on the Gateway site.
    I have done some research on it a few days back. While it's nothing spectacular, it is a first for Gateway. I love the looks of it. If I was in the market for an ultra-portable, this would be my first choice.

    Its size and price for an ultraportable is a tough deal to refuse when you consider the competitors (Dell X1, Dell 410 and the IBM X60) are priced near the $2k price point.

    Of course, with ultraportables they do not have optical drives.

    The review by ZDNET was very good for them.

    I just don't know about how good the service/qualiity of it will be in the long run.

    I have one on order. Supposed to arrive next week. I'll let you know what I think. From the reviews and information I've seen it seems like a really good machine for the money.
