    First ARM powered netbook sighted for 99$

    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

    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)
