Thats what I thought because of the Android logo... It looks like the antennas on the OLPCs.]]>Apr 26th 2009 3:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/26/skytones-android-powered-netbook-to-cost-around-250/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/26/skytones-android-powered-netbook-to-cost-around-250/Apr 26th 2009 2:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/26/skytones-android-powered-netbook-to-cost-around-250/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/26/skytones-android-powered-netbook-to-cost-around-250/
More seriously, it looks ok, but ARM11 is last year's tech. It's actually decent competition to an N810 (which is the same resolution, same ARM core, and clocked at 400MHz instead of 533, but fits in your pocket) -- and if you can find them in stock, N810s are running $220-240ish. So this is a little cheaper, a little more powerful, and a good bit bigger.

But it'll be blown away by the next generation of internet tablets, with ARM Cortex processors, and probably coming out around the same time. (And, to be fair, they'll have higher prices to match their higher performance and portability.) I just think it's later than I'd want to be introing an ARM11 design, because at this point you're condemning yourself to low-end only until your next major redesign, where a family of Cortex designs could cover a broad swath...]]>Apr 26th 2009 3:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/26/skytones-android-powered-netbook-to-cost-around-250/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/26/skytones-android-powered-netbook-to-cost-around-250/my $229 ipod touch PWNS the living shit out of this sacked up piece of filth.

And its not bankrupt yet. But on $250 product you make, lets say, $50 profit (1/5) and on $99 you make what? $20? So which one would you prefer, $50 or $19?]]>Apr 27th 2009 5:55AM
