The top four Linux netbook trends
,----[ Quote ]
| 3) The ARM processors seem to be lagging behind the Intel Atom family. That
| said, Asus, Compal, Foxconn, HTC (High Tech Computer), Inventec, Toshiba, and
| Wistron all showed off Snapdragon-powered devices at the show. What I see as
| the ARM/Snapdragon problem is that it's largely waiting on Android.
|
| Once Google Android arrives, I see this end of the netbook market exploding.
| The sub-$200, 6-hour+ battery life netbook with Google's name on it is sure
| to sell like hot-dogs at a baseball game

| over the long term, Windows and OS X will be locked out of a substantial
| portion of the market, especially on netbooks and other portable devices. In
| the absence of proprietary platforms, the dominance of Ubuntu and other Linux
| distributions is all but assured.

Ballmer: GNU/Linux Will Win on Netbooks
,----[ Quote ]
| I think this is a very frank analysis of the problem for Microsoft: after
| all, who's going to pay extra money just to get the Windows logo on a
| netbook, when they can get the same features for less with free software...?

One Third of Dell Inspiron Mini 9s Sold Run Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| Dell attributes part of the Linux growth to competitive pricing on the Ubuntu
| SKUs. “When you look at the sweet spot for this category it is price
| sensitivity, and Linux enabled us to offer a lower price entry point,” added
