Yup. From Costco. They have it for $399 w/o contract through the end of February IIRC.

My wife loves it BTW. The GUI is more usable, as it is designed to be a tablet, not a e-reader. She (and I) prefers the NC's case design; it fits in the hand much more comfortably.

I still think the NC is a good deal for a tablet, if you are willing to deal with the idiosyncrasies that result from hacking it. My wife wouldn't have been.

Also, I later found a way to do a manual upgrade of the NC's firmware using a boot microSDHC card as a boot device, but that was when I was in the process of re-imaging the NC to put it back to factory settings and remove the Android Market, etc. Here's the link:

If you want to hack your NC, here is the place to start:
