Will the 'smartbook' be a better Netbook?

,----[ Quote ]
| The Lenovo device uses a Snapdragon chip, 
| which is the first smartphone processor from 
| Qualcomm to hit a speed of 1GHz. Whether it 
| will use Google's Android operating system 
| or another Linux variant is unknown. And 
| pricing has not been revealed, though 
| smartbooks are expected to be inexpensive up 
| front when bought on 2-year contract plans.
