| Will ARM-based netbooks retail for under Â100? The Taiwanese contract
| manufacturer behind the Foxconn brand seems to think so.

| A Hon Hai Precision staffer - one Young Liu, special assistant to the company's
| CEO - admitted this week that "we have a few smartbook projects and I think there
| is demand for these sub-$200 devices".

Foxconn, ACPI fail, and leaving money on the table
,----[ Quote ]
| It's cheaper to support Linux than to add support for another proprietary OS.
| For ACPI, just read one paper and avoid Linux-specific tests. For most
| hardware, somebody please throw the Linux Driver Project a boneâthere's a
| long list of driver developers waiting for one of the rare unsupported
| devices.
