This is a story covering it:

From that story, it drops 14 June and starts at 1899USD:

The X41 uses Intel's Centrino technology, with low-voltage Pentium M processors and Intel's wireless chips. The base configuration includes the Ultra Low Voltage Pentium M 758 processor, 256MB of DDR2, a 20GB hard drive, and an integrated fingerprint reader. A $219 docking station is required to use CDs or DVDs.

The specs are kind of interesting, huh? Only 20GB of hard drive space? Even if it's using a 1.8" drive, that seems awfully small.... And it's typical IBM love-it-or-hate-it in looks. But hmmm...seems like the first potentially compelling Tablet PC to me.
