Lenovo S10 Netbook: Fabulous Hardware, Yuck Software
,----[ Quote ]
| But, as the saying goes, it's no use crying over spilled milk. Just lick it
| up and move on. The OLPC paved the way; it was intended to be an educational
| tool for children, but adults everywhere were enchanted and wanted one for
| themselves. This even made an impression on the inert titans of tech, who
| ponderously diverted from their doomed path of Jabba's Law, which is "Bigger!
| More Lard! More Crapware! *Belch*", and were sufficiently alarmed to waddle
| into action. In typical robber-baron fashion, both Intel and Microsoft
| crashed the OLPC party and tried to co-opt it. So Microsoft is trying to
| shoehorn Windows XP onto the OLPC, and Intel is trying to steal OLPC's
| customers for their Classmate PC.
|
| I should note that in desktop PCs, laptops, and servers, we get an amazing
| amount of bang for our hardware buck. Five hundred US dollars buys a desktop
| system that not too long ago would have been an expensive, high-end server.
| And thanks to Linux and Free/Open/NetBSD we can actually run nice sleek
| efficient software that doesn't require all that horsepower just to get out
| of its own way.

Lenovo's S10e Linux Ideapad
,----[ Quote ]
| Netbooks are all the rage right now with Linux as one of the primary
| operating system (OS) options. The Eee PC from ASUS got things started and
| originally only shipped with a Linux OS. This year's Consumer Electronics
| Show was overrun with the little laptops from a wide variety of vendors. It
| was only a matter of time before the big guys rolled out their own
| mini-laptop offerings. Now you can find a netbook from just about every major
| laptop manufacturer, with the exception of Apple.

Lenovo targets new netbook at students
,----[ Quote ]
| Lenovo this week unveiled a netbook PC designed to be the first mobile PC for
| K-12 students and a "secondary device" for college students.
|
| Netbooks are smaller, lighter, and much less expensive than full-blown
| notebook PCs. The Lenovo IdeaPad S10e gives institutions the option of using
| the latest version of Novell's SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop instead of
| Windows XP or XP Pro2, and the opportunity to dress the slate-gray finish in
| the school's official colors.

A Peek at Lenovo's iPhone-Like Android Phone

| As we've noted before, the T-Mobile G1 or "Google phone," based on Android,
| is doing better than expected. In 2009, many Android phones are going to be
| appearing, and as applications and innovative designs proliferate, they could
| give the iPhone a run for its money. Today, photos are appearing of Lenovo's
| Ophone, which is an Android phone that it has slated for delivery in China.
| Does this thing look exactamundo like the iPhone or what?

Lenovo Rebrands SplashTop As "QuickStart"

| Lenovo has announced this morning that they will begin shipping

Linux-Based Instant-On Trend Spreads Out
,----[ Quote ]
| SplashTop is an embedded Linux operating system that is able to execute
| instant-on by being very lightweight. The SplashTop marketing mantra is "zero
| to Internet in seconds," and the operating system comfortably coexists with
| both Windows and other Linux distros on many new portable computers.
|
| In the Lenovo netbook, model S10e, the SplashTop functionality will be
| branded as "Quick Start." I'm not going to be surprised to see Instant-On
| arrive on nearly all Windows- and Linux-based portable computers, and not
| just netbooks. This piece in The New York Times agrees that Instant-On will
| end up fundamentally changing how people think about using their portable
| computers.

The Lenovo S10 Netbook is here, count me in
,----[ Quote ]
| The S10 is here, I ordered one yesterday and I'm psyched. The IdeaPad S10 is
| Lenovo's just-released entry in the Netbook market. "Netbook" is a new term
| that's applied to cheap small laptops that run either Windows XP Home Edition
| or Linux. No Vista or OS X here (neither is cheap).
