  Accordingly to fresh press reports (not press-releases) the first
  Poquet PC has been delivered to a computer-magazine writer in UK
  last week. It has been officially launched at the Hannover Fair
  and sports a price tag of GBP 1595.- for the main unit, GBP 395.- (?)
  for a companion same-size disk-drive-with-power-supply unit.  Pictures
  (in Computer Weekly, a UK compurag) showed also the left-hand side
  slot for the 512KB RAM cards.  Accordingly to article both the ROM
  and RAM cards that fit in there have 64 "pins" in some kind of Japanese-
  industry approved pinout.  There was also a mention of 2MB cards being
 "in the works".  

  Has the Poquet appeared yet in the States?  Prices?  Impressions?
