Has anyone in net-land heard anything new about Peanut?

Last I heard the target date is mid-october but the WSJ seems
skeptical that IBM will meet that deadline.

Also in the WSJ, some rumors had the Peanut with 64K and no printer
for about $700--that doesn't sound like a very innovative product for
all the pre-production hype it has been getting.

Perhaps IBM plans to sell the Peanut on name alone.
