in MSI Wind now shipping, 6-cell battery on hold until September on Liliputing
About the iphone, I was replying to Mikes response about getting it.

MSI should have been more upfront with the problems and rather than delay several times the day of when it was supposed to come out. But the battery shortage is a real thing, its them being upfront with dates and info that is a concern.

They should come out with a date that is much later (realistic) and if they come out earlier then everyone will be happy. The constant delays upsets people. But I expect this for a new product, if it was their 2nd version of the Wind then I would have some serious concerns.

Everyone is hurting with this shortage of batteries, not just MSI. Whether you buy now or later there will always be something better. I'm going to wait till September because

1) I'll get to see some user reviews of the product 2) Any bugs can be fixed 3) I want 5 hours of battery life--(I'm going to keep my dell laptop alive for a little longer). 5) Dell might be a better buy, especially a 12.1 inch atom

Get the iphone, it will keep our gadget geekness in check till you can buy the netbook you want. If you need this for business then there are plenty of competitors to the Wind, I just don't see them hitting these specs, quality or price like the Wind. We will see....

Brandon I understand the battery shortage is affecting everyone, but MSI seems to be using it as a crutch at this point. Everything gets blamed on the battery shortage. I think I'll end up buying something else (besides the iphone) and use it for a little while until MSI gets their stuff straightened out, or someone else comes out with something just as good.
