I prefer the look of the original wind, much more understated and mature. Full disclosure: I have one. However this version seems to remidy the biggest problem of the original - the small, shitty touchpad buttons.
Like with the Asus N10, this is mainly a cosmetic refresh with 3G added in. It takes time to redesign the core functionality. Most of these things stick to the Intel reference design to get quickly to market.
As with the Asus model, I can't see these things selling north of $500, especially with the baseline coming down to $300-400 range for netbooks.
