Mine has arrived about 15 minutes ago.
I am going to fully charge the battery before playing with it.
Can't wait to install Blitz3D on it.
First impressions are it is small and compact - yet the screen seems big (which is good). I think it is cute looking. I think it is the type of thing that people will look at it and say 'I want one!'.
Although, it has a 95% sized keyboard (and it is classed as the best netbook keyboard, just ahead of the MSI Wind) - it still seems kind of cramped. I belive this may be an optical illusion as the keys are not like keyboard keys - the are much, much flatter.
The actual touch area (the bit your finger presses) of a normal keyboard key is actually smaller than that of the NC10's keys. Normal keyboard keys are a bit like a pyramid with the upper section cut off - they slope inwards and upwards. The NC10's keys - being a lot shorter in height slope upwards and inwards for less height and therefore the bit of the key you touch is bigger than a normal keyboard key.
I think it is this that makes the keyboard seem cramped as the less height on a key and the less it slopes inwards, the closer it will be to its neighbouring keys.
I hope I explained that well enough.
Still, I haven't started typing with it yet.
