Acer's Aspire One on sale in America, said to be shipping

Acer played it safe early last month by telling Americans to expect its Aspire One "later this year," but just a month and change after UKers had the privilege of toying with one on video, here she comes. So far, we're seeing a couple of variations for sale here in the US, two of which include the $399.99 A110-1295 (8GB SSD) and the $422.99 A150-1006 (120GB HDD). We're also hearing that select e-tailers are already slapping those shipping labels on there and moving 'em out to anxious consumers, so be sure and chime in when your confirmation arrives. Wait, what? You already own six netbooks? Ah well, what's another one amongst family?

@Skazer

Each of the Canadian websites listed above shows the Aspire One as being "special order" or "pre-order." I really don't want to commit to the Aspire One unless I know I can get it in my hands before I could an MSI Wind. Each of these two products seems to still be very difficult to acquire...

Exactly which Canadian Computer Stores currently have the Acer Aspire One in stock? Also, have you seen the MSI Wind anywhere? For your reference, I'm in Saskatchewan...

Thanks!

I didn't post those websites, someone else did. I had a flurry if comments above that though because the comment system is broken. They're available at CanadaComputers stores right now, but that's only Ontario. I haven't checked others yet.

There's also a special going on right now:

Aspire One for only $340 which is insanely cheap.

Canada computers has changed its prices to reflect the suggested price (it was 10 bucks more) and taken the "deal" on ram installation off their site. I've seen the photos and am wondering how difficult it is to install more ram into that one open ram slot. I don't want to crack open my new baby...(and perhaps break it). I wonder if anyone is gonna post a Ram install tutorial (or maybe i'm just a noob(

I would also love to know if there is anywhere in the U.S. where you can order one of these now that are in stock? I didn't even think these were officially released in the U.S. tho.

Newegg has the white 8gb ssd/linux model in stock as of 07.15.08 @ 3am.
Just picked one up for the wife, hope she doesn't break this one.

Acer One A150 is IN-HAND. CDW showed stock on these last week for about 10 minutes and I snatched one, half expecting the wrong model (A110) to ship but I actually received it today and it's awesome.

It is small, fast, and lightweight. What I received almost matches Acer's specs online - 1.6Ghz CPU, 1GB memory, but only 105GB is showing available on hard-drive so I'm not sure there is "actually" a 120GB in there but who knows. Oh yea, and best of all - it has XP! I'm no Windows fan but for what I use it for Windows beats Linux (no flaming losers) and XP beats the HE-double-hockey-sticks out of Vista.

Best Buy has them on sale this week for $349... sweet!!

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 28th 2008 8:14AM]

Here it is in its entirety but I see that they are sold out online. Maybe there are still a few left in some stores... or perhaps a raincheck is in order. Great price for the 120gb!!
