Acer Revo 100 now available in UK, slide-out RevoPad and all

We did a bit of a double take when we first saw the press release this morning for the new Acer Revo 100. Sifting through our memory banks (and Engadget archives), we finally remembered: the “Revo 2″ with Intel CE4100 shown off earlier this year at IDF. We’re betting this is just a twin and the Intel version is still en route, but for now, the Revo 100′s packing AMD Athlon II Neo dual-core processor with NVIDIA ION graphics, up to 4GB DDR3 SDRAM, Dolby Home Theater v3, Blu-ray drive, 802.11b/g/n, and a multitude of ports including HDMI and two mini-PCI Express card slots for expansion. More interesting, though, is the slide-out RevoPad, which can function as either a multitouch gesture pad or, when activated, a QWERTY keyboard with lit-up keys on the same surface. Software-wise, we’ve got Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit and Acer’s new clear.fi media sharing system . When’s it available? Now — at least in the UK. How much?
