Your right. One thing that started getting me interested in both smartbooks and netbooks was the price. Netbooks are definitely coming down in price even out of the gate. Smartbooks will have a bit to go though I think or so I've been reading from http://www.smartbook.asia

I've been tracking the smartbook since its conception and I have to tell you, there's a lot of interest around these devices due to their portability. I think a lot of people are more so interested in this device because not only how small it is but because of the specs which go along with it, like the 10+ hour battery life. I found a site which is tracking the smartbook that I think you'd like, take a look at <A HREF="http://www.smartbook.asia" rel="nofollow">www.smartbook.asia</A> Great article thanks for the read.

They can also run regular GNU/Linux distributions, which is what I'll do.

Its akin to having the right kind of logo on products that have only indirect connection to the products that logo usually represent.

Basically, its about showing that one is “in touch with the current fashions”…

Still, in hindsight the xandros distro was a mess of epic proportions. And acer's linpus offer (tho apparently easier to “hack” so that one could install fedora software) was not much better.

Now, if they had come with proper ubuntu or fedora out of the box, rather then the 2 gen+ old offshots of debian and fedora that one got, it may have turned out different, or it may not.

In any case, as long as its x86 based, microsoft will want it to run windows in some form, as the home computer market is a foot in the door to the corporate desktop market, and also a nice “training ground” for users…

They better make that 8-10 inches if they want to gain any traction. The 10 to 12 inch segment is bound to be dominated by Atom or other x86 processors. 10 to 12 inches?

That said, I'll snap up the first of these that doesn't suck regardless of form factor!
