Invasion of the Netbooks: New systems from Asus, Acer, and Sylvania
,----[ Quote ]
| Sylvania g netbook: It's superlight and weighs less than 2 pounds. It's a lot
| like the original Eee PC, in that it's $399, and it has a 7-inch screen, plus
| a custom Linux operating system. It has a 30GB standard hard drive (good)
| and, like the HP 2133 Mini-Note, a 1.2GHz VIA C7 CPU, instead of Intel's Atom
| or even Celeron M (not so good).

Move Over Netbooks, It's Time for a Nettop
,----[ Quote ]
| Mandriva — the Parisian Linux outfit behind, of all things, Mandriva Linux —
| has decided that the days of netbook exclusivity must come to an end, and to
| that end have partnered up with Precedent Technologies — as far as we can
| tell an unknown, but up-and-coming, hardware manufacturer — to produce what
| we hereby dub the nettop.

If only the chips were not made by the King of Bribes, Intel.

Say hello to the webbook

| The really cool thing about the webbook is the software. The webbok comes
| pre-loaded with Ubuntu 8.04.1 and some new software written especially for
| this application that delivers broadband connectivity over 3G Mobile
| networks.

Feeling the heat at Microsoft

| If I ask you who is Microsoft's biggest competitor now, who would it be?

| Ballmer: Open...Linux. I don't want to say open source. Linux, certainly have
