Shuttle Notebooks in the Wild?

[GnomeGarten]

As it's now well into q3 2010, which is when Shuttle said notebooks based on the SPA and microSPA architectures would be showing up, do you know of any that are yet being sold? Or for that matter any coming soon?

It's been hard to find info on this, so any updates would be appreciated.

Indeed. From what I could find on the net, there isn't much about it, save for the Q3 release date. Your best bet would be to try and contact Shuttle directly and see what they have to say.

I've already done so, actually, and mostly got the brush off. All of the people I could find to contact were more concerned with business to business sales.

I was wondering if any journos or techies participated here who might have more of an inside scoop.

Actually I read that they shipped a lot to Asia already and the stock's been going up. I couldn't find much info on where to actually buy those laptops either but they probably rebrand it anyway. Don't some of these (http/translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=auto&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bhinneka.com%2Fcategory%2Fnotebook___laptop%2Fbrands%2Fadvan.aspx) look awefully similar to the Shuttle ones in the CES/Computex pictures?

Thanks for the suggestion. I've sent email to both Advan Digital and Axioo (also on the site) asking if they use SPA. If I get a reply I'll follow up here.
