First ARM powered netbook sighted for 99$

[saaya]

Has there been a previous one mentioned?
This is the first i hear of... arm11 with 128mb mem and 1gb flash... ouch..
sounds more like a youtube-able mp3 player... i hope the storage can be upgraded, otherwise its a waste, even for 99$ imo...

with 8gb of memory this might be a really nice ipod video competition

looks interesting like its just a 4x sized smart phone on the inside and im not sure on androids needs but to play back video on winmo with a clean rom u need a duel core 500mhz or 750mhz for SD video

I prefer Pandora (http://www.openpandora.org) instead. Bit more costy but way better in every aspect.

Can it make phone calls? That thing has cell phone specs. Allow me to hook it up to a bluetooth headset and I'd love to own one at that price.

IIRC this has an ARM processor in it...

and I've been selling it for the last 6 months... (Maplin Electronics for the people in the UK)

hopefully more responsive than WM OS on ARM then it would be very nice
