Smartbooks: Blurring The Line Between Smartphone And Netbook
,----[ Quote ]
| Some companies like Qualcomm (NSDQ: QCOM) and Nvidia are going one better
| than netbooks when it comes to power savings and small form factors for
| mobile computing. These devices will use chips based on the ARM architecture
| instead of the current chip favored by netbooks, the Intel Atom. ARM should
| be a name familiar to you as it is the chip that powers most of the
| smartphones currently available, including those running Android, Windows
| Mobile and the iPhone.

The Android Netbooks Cometh
,----[ Quote ]
| Thanks to netbooks, 2009 will be "The Year of GNU/Linux," says blogger Robert
| Pogson. A netbook running Android has been spotted in the wild -- the Skytone
| Alpha 680. Though its specs may be somewhat anemic and its price may be
| somewhat high, it's stirring up a lot of excitement in the Linux community as
| the harbinger of netbooks to come.
