| cost. The two partners are hoping to bring 
| the ARM-based netbook to market within the 
| next few months under the flagship of a 
| major OEM at a retail price of $199 to 
| $299.

Too Much Netbook For Too Litl?

,----[ Quote ]
| A Boston-based startup named Litl is taking 
| a big risk: they're betting people will go 
| for a netbook that sports a Linux-based OS 
| and focuses on Web-/network-based 
| productivity (Facebook, Twitter, etc.). The 
| risk is in the pricetag: $700 -- almost 
| twice the price of computers that can do 
| twice as much. Is there a market for this?
