JVC bringing their new ultralight MP-XV841 Mini Note laptop to the US

It's been already been out in Europe and Asia for a little while, but JVC says they're finally going to sell their ultralight MP-XV841 Mobile Mini Note laptop here in the States. The MP-XV841 should be out in June, and has a 1GHz processor, a combination DVD/CD-RW drive, built-in 802.11g WiFi, 256MB of RAM, a 40GB
hard drive, and what they claim is up to 6.7 hours of battery life. The only thing is that the screen is way too small
— just 8.9 inches — and your money (the MP-XV841 is set to retail for $2,399) would probably be better spent on

Sony's new TR3API, which has similar specs and a slightly bigger display but sells for a hundred bucks less.
