After numerous delays, the first MSI Wind netbooks seem to be shipping. Gizmodo got their hands on one, and have already posted a brief review.

According to the review, it’s everything the Eee should have been.

In short; $499 gets you a 1.6GHz Intel Atom CPU, a 10″ display, 1GB ram and an 80GB drive. The price drops $100 if you select Linux.

Ok.. Calm down. That "buy now" button does have some fine print; the MSI Wind won’t actually ship for another 3-5 weeks, but when Amazon says you can  pre-order, it means that the product is actually on its way to their warehouses.

MSI actually announced that their machines would be in the US on July 7th, so Amazon might just be messing with us.

The MSI Wind is an Intel Atom powered Netbook with an 80Gb HDD, gigabit Ethernet, Bluetooth, 1Gb of RAM and an LED backlit 10" display capable of a pretty decent 1024×600 resolution.

It could be yours for just $499.  - Amazon.com product page.
