here in australia i have read june 20 release date.  power pc chip, 
NT 3.51 os.  as it is also suggested that they are going after lower 
end silicon graphics machines, perhaps pci buses also at least in the docking 
station for now.  i'd be surprised if it was not a 11.3" or more tft as well,
and of course 1.2 gig hdd.  sounds like the N40 and tp people may have gotten 
together.
