Any chance of a size 7 Soft Cell?

I've noticed several posts on the forum recently pertaining to netbooks -- the Eee PC, MSI Wind, Acer Aspire One, etc. I know you have a size 7 Brain Cell that would fit many of these, but in some ways it seems like overkill for a small laptop you can just toss into any number of bags. Any chance of making a Soft Cell with the same dimensions as the size 7?

Yes! But it won't be the Soft Cell. The Soft Cell is difficult to make for laptops as small as the Netbooks or as thin as the MacBook Air. Tom's designing a new kind of laptop sleeve that will fit laptops like those much better.

You'll also be seeing more Ristretto-like bags with built-in padded laptop pockets for these laptops.

Cool -- any idea how soon we might see any of these?

Good question, but there's so much in the works right now (bags we haven't even talked about yet!), I'm not going to even venture a guess. Anywhere from November to early next year. :)
