Anyone seen these for sale in the states (a brand of subcompact laptops with touch screens evidently)

I found this through a link on flickr about them.

Looks great. Anything like this in the US?



Edit
make sure to check out the specs

there are umpc's available in the us. samsung and asus both have models. asus also has the eee pc.

Correct me if I'm wrong - the eee won't run vista 'well' will it?

This is 'made' for vista. Not to mention it has a touch screen that can be used with a stylus. The eee doesn't do that.

Then there is the dvd writer. . .

I first saw these when I was in South Korea. Very cool, very small, very light. VYE is Kohjinsha.

The touchscreen doesn't have protection against vectoring, so writing on it with a stylus will be awkward because you have to keep your hand off the screen.
I thought the shift key or something was on the wrong side of the laptop, but this was with a Korean keyboard.
I wouldn't run Vista on it.
Dynamism was really easy to reach by phone and responsive.

MSI and ECS are coming out with UMPCs for really cheap.

Pretty cool, but also pretty expensive.
