Do you know an adress that will ship to europe :) ... I am going to buy this baby (and I will sell my Q1 ;))

By the looks of the extended battery, it could form a lip at the back which can be used for gripping. Nice design if it is.

I want one NOW!!!!

Just and update on some availability in the USA for the Q1U-V model.

I called Costco corporate office and taked to the guy in charge of thier online costco.com product purchasing from vendors. He said "It should be about 30 days till we get it, since they haven't set thier pricing yet".

I did mention to him that some prices were leaked/released yesterday, but he couldn't tell me more, he said he would get his assistant to take my name and number and call me soon as they have definate date it will be in stock. So I will post back here when I know more for those that buy from Costco. Thier main corporate number is 425-313-6151 ask for online products if you call because the person that handles warehouse/store products says they have no plans to carry UMPCs in the stores.

So worst case would be 30 days from now, but I bet is more like 3 weeks. The more people that call them about it, the sooner they will get it in stock I'm sure.
