[tlug] AsusTek EEEPC comes to Japan

["david.blomberg" <david.blomberg@example.com>]

Anyone else been wanting one of these?

I do(did) want the Japanese model only with Linux but it appears Amazon 
and BIC are only carrying the winxp models

The cost is about 10,000yen higher for the Japanese version:

If anyone can find the Linux model with a Japanese keyboard please let 
me know

Thank You
