the leading potential competitors to Asus's Eee range of micro notebooks
and which should have started shipping already (specifically from June
27) has been delayed on account of what MSI term as an 'industry wide
battery shortage' (an issue that really out to have been foreseen as its
been a concern for some while now) resulting in the official release
date being put back to July 7.
