EEE box (even the first version) is available in India yet ? I called few dealers here in Cochin and they never even heard of such a product

Here in Madurai, they have boxes of the EEE Box at stores, but they informed that it was only display cases, the actual product was yet to hit the stores and they were not sure when it would... Since I was looking to purchase it only a little later, I did not press for a detailed reply.
