The company is owned by an ex-Psion engineer.

Having contacted them, they are offering two versions (either Windows XP
pro or Ubuntu (I assume UNR), both at Â499.99, which seems a bit pricey.

I might be interested if the price was lower, as I need something that
will slip into a pocket, but has a qwerty keyboard (albeit a little
small for serious typing)

Meh. Should have used ARM. I can't wait until somebody releases a proper ARM netbook with batteries lasting all whole day.

Too many people sticking with x86 because that's what Windows needs.

More Windows needs manufacturers to avoid ARM. Increased use of ARM would require MS to make Wx run on it - I don't think they know how anymore!
