EEE WanabEEE part III? Cheap Ultraportable CTL

I just found this review of another EEE competitor.
No sign of the EEE 900 locally; any indications stateside or EU way?

It certainly looks the part.

CTL IL1 Netbook $50 Cheaper Than Eee PC, Has Better Specs [Gizmodo, AU]
Ultraportables or netbooks as Intel is wont to call them, are officially a dime a dozen now, but an upcoming model, the IL1 from CTL (who's making the Classmate 2) looks like it might shake up the market, at least a bit, if being the cheapest thing around is the bottom line. A 1GHz Via processor, 1GB of RAM, 4GB SSD or 60GB HDD plus an SD card reader, with Linux or Windows XP. The screen's Eee-sized, an LED-backlit 7-inch LCD, all for "less than $350." It's also got less of a kiddie or toy-look to it than either the Classmate or Eee PC, which might be a selling point for suits
