Post Any interest in the Acer c200 slider model?

Hi!

My name's Rodney and I belong to very few forums (only one besides this one) because I usually find all the information I need while reading other people's posts without having to register and create a thread myself. That being said, I obviously joined this forum because I couldn't find any info on the new Acer c200 series tablets and if there was any interest in them. I chose this forum because of the attention and support that the admins give their members (Kudos to LPH and Lora) and also how up to date and efficient they are in terms of posting content on their blogs.

Formalities (Taken from the forum sticky):
What to include when you introduce yourself:

(1) Acer Travelmate c204TMi
(2) It seems the US models are different from international models..
(3) Newegg.com
(4) 3-01-06
(5) In order of importance: Company reputation, innovative design, graphics card, CPU, memory(speed and amount), screen (size and clarity), and price.
(6) The sliding design, the biometric device, the way it fits perfectly in my left arm when I'm writing on it while "on the run", the fact that I dont have to open the lid, swivel the screen around, and then lay the screen down face up just to write down something on my to do list while I'm "on the run".
End of formalities.

The two things I found really hard about purchasing this tablet was the lack of support it had in the community, and from the manufacturer. What I mean by this is that there were very few reviews on it even after three months of it being released (release date was October or November but I could be wrong), and the manufacture doesn't sell certain accessories it advertises with the tablet (I've yet to find the 9-cell battery, the media bay battery, and the weight saver module that goes into the media bay).
In my browsing I've found numerous inquiries about this tablet but very few people who have had hands on experience with it to give valuable feedback. The C300 series seems to have caught on quite well, and I was hoping for the same following for the C200, but the ratio is very underwhelming. Not to bash on the c300 series, just making a comparison.
I have lots more to say about my tablet, but I want to make sure there's enough demand before I go flooding this forum with info that won't be needed.
