Tired of watching Japan get all the cool new gadgets before they’re available in the US and Europe? Well, sometimes we actually get a first crack at new toys in the west. Case in point, the HP Mini-Note has been available in the US for weeks, but it’s just now starting to ship in Japan.

The top of the line model with Windows Vista Basic, a 160G hard drive, and 2GB of RAM will set you back the equivalent of $800 US, with cheaper models going for under $600.
