I purchased my FS from Vulcan directly and I was probably the last one who did. I called their support site and asked about the reason behind their sudden price drop. The support person seemed very knowledgeable about the company and product. He stated there is a new FS in the works for which he declined to provide any details. He thought it might be available in 2008. I asked him specifically if the company is going out of business, but he adamantly invalidated the idea. He thought the company is doing good and is here to stay.

This is what he told me, for whatever it is worth.

Thank you

I think Asus would be better served either allowing the 701 to die and the 901 to drop into the $200-400 bracket as "technology advances" - i.e. give users a 4GB Surf 9" and 8 or 12GB variants at the upper end; or allow the 701 to evolve with larger memory, and introduce an "Eee-Pro", taking the good form factor, the 9" screen (ideally one of better quality, please), better CPU (I'm very curious about the processor in the MacBook Air) and "tolerable" SSD storage. Not a huge amount, maybe 32GB, with the SD card slot still. Pitch it at MacBook money.

Have to say this is a very good point! That way you'd keep the LOW ENTRY PRICE factor that obviously has played a large role in it's popularity!!
