I do believe it is - especially if you don't count the one-off vaporware 
prototypes.

It's finally something that's an improvement on the Toshiba AC100. Not a 
_huge_ improvement on my modified one (1280x720 display and various 
other tweaks), but the extra RAM is certainly a good thing. And not 
outrageously expensive, either. I may just have to get one, once 
somebody has worked out a way to get vanilla Linux running on it.
