I'm very interested in this as a replacement for my 1.2 GHz G4 iBook, which is still serving me pretty well - the NC20 has the same size screen (12") with more pixels(1280x800 vs 1024x768), a bigger hard drive, bluetooth and a webcam, much better battery life (especially because my iBook's battery is quite old), hopefully similar performance, and about two pounds lighter (I can live without an internal optical drive). I might even be willing to put up with Windows XP, but Ubuntu is more likely. I hope this hits US vendors soon and we see some more reviews.
For those looking for a device strictly for reading, the new Kobo is a nice little option. It's small enough to slip into a pocket, can do more with a PDF than the competition, and at $129, it's $10 cheaper than both the Nook and Kindle WiFi.
