Update: The device is available, and on sale. Microsoft, for some odd reason had it buried somewhere on the website. Mark gave us a heads up, so we tip our hat to him. It costs $129 and you can get it off Amazon, Circuit City and a couple of other outlets!
Looks like Microsoft is getting [...]

How is that for a provocative statement?

Business Week in an editorial writes, “That’s because the U.S. is becoming something of a broadband backwater, a place where almost no one can do what Kato and millions of other Japanese take for granted.
