Olevia move from TVs to Netbooks PCs

,----[ Quote ]
| Olevia are based in Shenzhen, China and have 
| been around for a while, cultivating a 
| relatively positive name for themselves 
| producing mainstream consumer electronic 
| products that include decent looking HDTVs and 
| DVD and Blu-ray players among other things. 
| This is their first foray into the highly 
| competitive netbook market however, and they've 
| sought out some substantial backing by working 
| with Great Wall, a major Chinese OEM that is 
| part of the very substantial Great Wall Group.

10 Netbook-oriented Linux Distributions... and Counting

,----[ Quote ]
| I can say that Linux on netbook is gaining
| momentum right now contrary to what others
| believe. Just take a look at the growing
| number of Linux distributions that are
| optimized for netbooks so that you will know
| what I mean.

Linux Is Regaining Netbook Market Share Quickly

,----[ Quote ]
| Despite this ABI Research published some
| new data last month and the results may
| surprise you. They place the 2009 market
| share for Linux on netbooks at 32% with 11
| million units preloaded with Linux shipping
| this year. In an interview with
| DesktopLinux.com, Jeffrey Orr of ABI makes
| clear that dial boot machines (i.e.: the
| Acer Aspire One AOD250-1613) and machines
| that are purchased with Windows but later
| have Linux loaded do not count in the 32%
| number. That number is pure Linux sales.
| This data confirms comments made first by
| Jay Pinkert and later by Todd Finch of Dell
| that one third of their netbooks sales are
| Linux machines and that there is no higher
| return rate for Linux systems than there is
| for ones sold with Windows preloaded.
