So far, vapourwave. It doesn't sound like they're going to start selling them soon. I'm not holding my breath. (Actually, I stopped holding my breath as soon as I heard they use Windows, but I digress ... )
I'm pretty sure the white Astaks are fully working. But I'm willing to bet they're EB-100s, not EB-2xx series. That means they come loaded with Linux 2.6 and STAReBOOK's Eread (.stk format ebooks) ebook reader - and they don't support touchscreen, bluetooth or wifi. Now the other 6" models may well be engineering mockups waiting for the EB-2xx guts.
