HP Mini 2140 Available
HP today quietly signaled availability of the Mini 2140 on its site and has confirmed the specifications of the netbook in the process. The stock $499 entry model is now known to be a relatively high-end offering with 1GB of memory, a 160GB 5,400RPM hard drive, 802.11n Wi-Fi and Windows XP Home. More advanced ready-model models add Vista Home Basic or Business, as much as 2GB of memory and a 7,200RPM disk.
While no pre-specified systems come equipped with alternative operating systems or other options mentioned during the initial launch, custom-order options are available for SuSE Linux and FreeDOS as well as an 80GB solid-state drive and a 6-cell battery. Prices top out at $779.

NIce, but...
Nice, but HP website shows many of the various models with the same specs, but different prices. I think they need to clean the specifications up a bit. What is the difference between the $499 and $529 model??? I have no idea.
