Digital Home Thoughts: Netbooks - The Next Generation

"Freescale and Pegatron are ushering a new generation of netbooks that will combine excellent battery life, good looks and low 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."

We'll see if that price actually carries through. Compared to the current crop, a 10 inch device with an 8 hour battery life would be a winner. From the details, they will be Linux based and designed as a purely web device, so don't expect much in the way of horsepower or storage, although this probably will help with the 8 hour battery life.
