HP Pavilion tx2000 Series

It looks like HP has the follow-up of the tx1000 series ready. Shown here is the HP Pavilion tx2020eo, but I have the feeling the "eo" indicates it's not meant for the U.S. market.

What I find very useful is the addition of a FireWire (IEEE 1394) port. I would love to have that on my current tx1220us. It can also use an 8-cell battery, which is a slight improvement on the 6-cell maximum on the previous series.
