Everything gets blamed on the battery shortage. I think I'll end up buying something else (besides the iphone) and use it for a little while until MSI gets their stuff straightened out, or someone else comes out with something just as good.

1) I’ll get to see some user reviews of the product 2) Any bugs can be fixed 3) I want 5 hours of battery life–(I’m going to keep my dell laptop alive for a little longer). 5) Dell might be a better buy, especially a 12.1 inch atom

I've all but given up on getting an MSI Wind. Does it have a good keyboard? Yes. Does it have some of the features I'm looking for? Yes. Am I willing to wait 2 more months to get it? No... Its almost as if MSI doesn't want my business..... I agree Mike. I’ve all but given up on getting an MSI Wind. Does it have a good keyboard? Yes. Does it have some of the features I’m looking for?

So my choices are either go with a cheap Gen-1 EeePC (7" screen) or an iPhone 3G and wait til September. And you know, by Septmeber something else might be out or announced and cause the Wind to drop from my radar altogether. Oh wow.
