As we mentioned last week, the Modbook shipping dates were solid – well, almost a bit too solid.

Axiotron announced yesterday that they have begun shipping the much anticipated Wacom-based, MacBook modified, Modbook Tablet PC. It is available via Other World Computing starting at $2279.

We are on the list for a review unit, but I anticipate seeing one at MacWorld before seeing one at my doorstep.

Anyone planning on buying one?

Axiotron, Inc., a leading proprietary high-tech hardware solution provider, announced today that its flagship product, the Modbook, the first fully functional Apple-authorized tablet Mac solution, is now shipping to consumers.

The only Mac-based tablet computer on the market, Axiotron’s Modbook seamlessly integrates a state-of-the-art Wacom digitized pen-sensitive LCD slate-style display with Apple MacBook’s legendary ease of use and design sensibility, giving artists and design-oriented professionals enhanced onscreen writing and drawing functionality when they need it most.

“After introducing the product earlier in the year, we have experienced a tremendous amount of positive response to the Modbook as its exclusive modular design and superior functionality provide the best tablet solution on the market for artists and designers,” said Andreas Haas, President of Axiotron. “The Modbook’s recent designation as an Apple-authorized product has allowed us to better meet the needs of our extremely patient customers and we are proud to be able to ship a product that resets the bar for Mac users everywhere.”
