Is this model available in Mumbai? If so, anyone had a look at it, price etc?

I have seen a model in Dubai (8.9" dispay, 512MB RAM, 120HDD, V7 1.2GHz, 1.3 Megapixel Webcam) retailing for about AED 1550 (+100 AED for 1GB RAM upgrade). The OS is Novell/SuSE Linux desktop. The keyboard is larger (and IMO more useable) compared to Acer One and the new ASUS EEEpc. The downside is that the warranty on units sold in Dubai is not valid in India.

I cannot recollect the model number but a client of mine bought a mini HP 8.9" screen notebook with 1 GB RAM and Vista preloaded. It was bought for about 29K. However it is not as mini as other minis. It has wasted a lot of width and is not very light like the 1 Kg ones.
