"Get an Amazon Kindle! Shop at the Amazon Kindle store! (Oh, uh, yeah, uh, you can get Mobipocket books for the Kindle, uh, just don't tell anyone we told you that, k?) Get an Amazon Kindle! Shop at the Amazon Kindle store! Long live the Kindle!"

I could be wrong, but that seems to be the thrust of their advertising and PR to me.
But, with the greatest respect, the Kindle is only available in the US, and likely to remain that way for the foreseeable future. The MobiPocket market is a world-wide one.

Does anyone know if Astak are planning to sell these devices world-wide, or just in the US?
