    Lucky that I preordered yesterday. The fact that they stopped the preorder means that everyone who preorder will probably get one.

    it's interesting nobody else i know of is accepting pre-orders.

    i wonder what amazon's pre-order capacity was for the acer one.

    it actually probably wasn't that large, maybe a couple thousand units. I can't imagine amazon getting more than a few truck-loads. (my estimate is that about 800-1000 would fit in a tractor trailer...and i work at UPS and had to unload those things box by box, so give me a little credit ;) ). Luckily, the marketing hype didn't let out that these things were up for pre-order and only the people that REALLY wanted them knew about it.

    Looks like the preordering for both colors are back up. Maybe Amazon got a solid number on how many units they are getting. Tell us the release date already... :x

    I called Amazon last night and the rep told me that they are going to send the order to Acer

    sometime this week and they will email a ship date by the end of this week. . . . hopefully

    that rep knew what he was talking about cause I'm getting awfully impatient :evil: :cry:

    Well they had the shipping date posted before and it was around Sept 23. They then got rid of it for some reason, I hope it won't take longer than that.

    I also heard rumors that it's coming out around 17th so who knows... :|

    i really hope it'll be soon. i feel like i've wasted too much time checking all the net stores for availability. i wish they'd have the heart, and release it already.

    I asked the customer service when it's going to be available and this is what I got:

    "I apologize for any inconvenience this causes, but at this time "Acer Aspire One 8.9-inch Mini Laptop (1.6 GHz Intel Atom N270 Processor, 1 GB RAM, 160 GB Hard Drive, XP Home, 6 Cell Battery) White " is unavailable to us and we're not sure if we'll be able to obtain it in the future."

    Wow they are not even sure if they are going to get it yet...

    they didn't even read your letter, it was probably automated...especially because the product is in quotes.
