GBM forum member Jeffyo just picked that Other World Computing has the ModBook available for pre-order. You don’t have to provide a credit card number, either. They are taking pre-reservations. Pre-reserve prices start at $2199 for a 13.3″ AnyView Wide Screen with iSight built-in, with other pre-configured specs going for $2399 and $2699. All pre-reserve prices include built-in GPS.

Anyone planning on buying one? The Mac guy in me is just salivating at the opportunity to try out a slate Mac tablet. Hopefully OWC will be getting us an eval unit for review and we can pass along our thoughts on this one.
