MSI Announces the Specifications for it's Wind UMPC

Here are the official specifications for the MSI Wind! The Linux version will cost around $399 while the Windows version will cost $499. The battery life with WiFi turned on is around 4 hours while with WiFi turned off is 5-5.5 hours! It's a real bang for the buck and in my opinion, topples the Asus Eee PC as the best UMPC in the market (price-performance ratio).
