Netbook market looking at major price cuts
,----[ Quote ]
| Netbook pricing has been slowly creeping up over the last year as buyers
| looked for bigger hard drives, better performance, roomier keyboards, and
| larger screens. That feature creep means it's not uncommon to see prices well
| above $400 for entry-level devices. The folks at Freescale Semiconductor want
| to turn that trend around, offering a low-power chip designed to sip
| electricity while letting netbook makers offer devices for less than $200.
