You don't have to use a 490, any UX with 1gb ram will do=500$ on ebay+ 400$128gbssd+ 130$cpu+ 120$ wifi and vodafone k3520 (to get the modem components within). Then do it yourself, or pay Anh at www.micropctalk.com to do it for you (much easier)
We waited a lot for: 1- 128gbssd without jmicron controller, 2- put 2gb of ram in it... but the motherboard can't match any relevant chips on this planet...
OsX works perfectly on it, as it's only a fraction slower than the Mac Air...:) (It has a 1438mhz CORE2DUO)
Oh... it boots windows 7 in 15 seconds, and aero works without a glitch...
I read mostly out of topic posts on these forums... I should precise the point of creating this device:
1- It's the most powerful computer you can have at your belt (57k at crystalmark...)
2- It's the only 'mac' of this size with wifi N working+3.5g+voice+touchscreen
3- It hasn't been made by Sony/Apple... but by a single man... what are their 'engineers' doing?
4- It weighs 524gr/1.1lbs!
5- If only it should 'tickle' those 'innovative' corps to release 'innovative products'..... we wouldn't have to do it ourselves...

When will there be a sub-sub-sub-forum dedicated to you? (oh... maybe you are less interesting than a 500gr device...pity...)

Of course it is... :)
The point is to have it in 524gr... and having it been made by 'amateurs' who did the smallest core2duo in the world...
