Netbooks Are Little Notebooks, and Linux on Netbooks Rocks

,----[ Quote ]
| This newfangled netbook phenomenon has brought with it a bit of confusion, 
| which is understandable since it is so new. The EeePC 701 launched the modern 
| netbook craze, a tiny little low-powered thing with a 7" screen, 512MB RAM, 
| WiFi, and 4BG of storage. It ran a stripped-down Linux, and at two pounds and 
| $399, it quickly won many hearts.

TechCrunch dubs Linux a 'big ol’ bag of drivers'

| Indeed. That's probably why desktop Linux machines with Firefox have already

Google move paves way for Firefox on Android

,----[ Quote ]
| Google's move to let software run natively on Android devices opens the door
| for a version of Firefox that can run on the operating system.
|
| At present, Android applications are written in Java and run on Google's
| Dalvik Java virtual machine. Last week, though, Google announced the Android
| Native Development Kit version 1.0 that lets software run natively on the
| Linux layer below, though the company sees it as a way not to run
| full-fledged applications as much as to run components of ordinary Android
| applications.
|
| "Android applications run in the Dalvik virtual machine. The NDK allows
| developers to implement parts of these applications using native-code
| languages such as C and C++," said Google's David Turner in a Native
| Developer Kit blog post.
