I was told at the Wendin booth of the 3rd annual PC Faire that this 
product won't be available until November.  I asked about the brochure
they were handing out, which says "we ship orders within 3 days", and
the guy in the booth got a good laugh out of that.

The brochure is very interesting.  A subset of unix with the following
commands, plus multiple concurrent processes, for under $50:
at	cat	cd	cp	date	diff	echo	file	find
grep	kill	lpr	ls	mail	mkdir	my	nice	nohup
od	passwd	pr	ps	pwd	rm	rmdir	tail	tee
time	wc	who
