There have been some questions about the validity of the offer. One comment
in Slashdot, from Engadget:
desNotes (Mike Fisher)
This one looks particularly concerning:

Hello fellas. I came across this site, when searching for information about
this computer. With that pricetag, it would be a brilliant surf & chat
computer for me.
I'm a swedish student, and I found an article in a larger web-newspaper in
sweden and was amazed..
Sadly though, when reading comments all over, at swedish sites, this thing
starts to smell very very rotten..
The speculation is about this beeing a scam, in the same way that you've
mentioned above.
There's bankrupcy issues, lies at the homepage, weird and incomplete
messages from the people behind this "madison" company. The screenshots of
the computer, has been found at other manufacturers. Companies, that Madison
claim to work with, hasn't heard of the connection..
The things above, has been discovered by many people, at different swedish
sites. Even more than that.
The 4-6 week delivery time, sounds perfect to grab as much cash as possible
and run.
No-one can find anyone with an example of this computer. People doesn't
believe this thing even exist.
I recommend all of you, to wait and see how everything turns out here in
sweden, before you buy this. As most swedes do right now.. Wait and see if
the first computers arrive at all.
I hope that this isn't a scam. I'd love to buy one. I'd love if the promised
"future generation" will arrive.
But this thing doesn't feel safe.
