It looks like the MSI Wind is finally getting ready to begin shipping to US customers. The Wind, which was listed in the MSI Shop and then removed has since been re-listed and is now showing a shipping date of July 7.
Currently the Wind is simply just listed and is unavailable, with no pre-order option available. There are also limiting customers to a one Wind netbook per order because of limited quantities. The models listed will include the three-cell battery and they are retailing for $479.99.
Amazon, who also has them listed for $479.99 with the three-cell batteries is still reflecting a 3 to 5 week time frame before the Wind will ship. Still unknown is when the Wind will begin shipping with a six-cell battery, however it is rumored to becoming sometime in July, of course after all of the delays related to the three-cell model I would not be all that surprised when that gets pushed back even further.
A post today in:

said that someone at MSI USA told a customer it might be August or September for the 6-cell.
In addition, these will be fore sale in Aldi grocery stores in Germany as well as other similar places in the EU for 399E starting 7/3/08. The Aldi ad didn't specify which battery as far as I could tell.
Ooops, try "for" not "fore".
