Netbooks are Alive and Well
,----[ Quote ]
| Most businesses would be very happy with
| 33% year over year growth in units shipped.
| The panic/hype that the iPad will somehow
| damage netbooks is silly. Lower the price
| and there will be new surge in salesâ Oh.
| You will have to dump that other OS to
| lower the price. Use GNU/Linux. It works
| better and costs less. Let the folks with
| too much cash buy the iPad. The rest of us
| will be able to afford two netbooks running
| GNU/Linux instead of one iPad. We can use
| one and give the other to a friend.

Hands-on: Ben NanoNote Micronotebook
,----[ Quote ]
| The Ben has OpenWrt-based Linux with an ash
| console, BusyBox and the opkg package
| manager. Connecting the mini-USB cable
| provides USB network connectivity. The
| dmesg kernel ring buffer command that it
| registers as highspeed USB device with the
| cdc_ether (communications device class, or
| CDC) kernel module. The kernel version is
| 2.6.32 and the images are often newly
| built, which the NanoNotes changelog
| explains. The last version (image
| 2010-03-26) added Python, PHP 5, make,
| OpenVPN and tcpdump. The new image can be
| updated via software or hardware or USB
| boot. The latter is great for tinkerers,
| but more than tedious for end-users. For
| us, a couple of circuit board connections
| shorted out while removing the battery.

If Apple's iPad Wins, Who Loses?
,----[ Quote ]
| Theyâre likely to produce netbooks
| architecturally similar to Appleâs -- ARM-
| based processor, Solid State memory, and a
| Unix-based O/S (Linux, Android, Chrome).
| Not Intel (INTC), Seagate (STX), and
| Microsoft.
|
| Weâll spend more time detailing the âwhyâ
| in the future, but the bottom line is
| simple: lower cost. ARM/Linux is a small
| fraction of the cost of WinTel. Solid State
| Storage is more expensive (for now), and
| manufacturers will have to make up for this
| cost increase somewhere.

Linux Carried Along on Netbooks Wave
,----[ Quote ]
| Morvay revealed to Linux Magazine Online that there were no specific figures
| for Linux netbook sales, but that it lay somewhere in the 40th percentile.
| Even though this figure seems a little high, it is known that many of the
| world's netbooks have Linux on board since their first inception 18 months
| ago.
|
| For example, notebooks with Linux make up about 5.5% of the notebook market
| in Germany...
