,----[ Quote ]
| Freescale's research focused on the future
| because most smartbooks have yet to hit the
| market. The company has collaborated on one
| smartbook to date: the NetWalker from
| Japanese manufacturer Sharp. Qualcomm has
| also unveiled one smartbook, made by Lenovo.
| Both companies expect at least a dozen
| smartbooks incorporating their chips to
| debut in early 2010.

Linux on Netbooks - with PICTURES!
,----[ Quote ]
| As this is the holiday season, and things
| are slow, I have finally taken the time to
| follow up on some very good advice that Jake
| gave me, and learn to produce blog entries
| with pictures. Of course, there is no better
| way to start than with the specific subject
| that Jake (and others) said they would like
| to see pictures of, so here is a quick
| review of some of the most common Netbook-
| centric Linux distributions.
|
| [...]
|
| Overall I am quite impressed with the KDE
| Netbook desktop, and I am anxious to see how
| its development continues. The last I heard
| it was scheduled for an initial release in
| early 2010, so I will be watching for that.
