saw this on engadget, looks like it could be a neat little device to hack despite what engadget seems to think about it.

"500MHz Cortex-A9" Android netbook for $150 should have quickly raised several red flags. One of the comments says it's really ARM9, and I'm much more inclined to believe that.

EDIT: Yep, the youtube confirms it, ARM9. Come on Engadget, this is embarrassing. Also, "it could be $149", from the guy interviewing, not the company.

These Youtube videos always amuse me.
 
The guy doing the interview drive me nuts, I see his videos linked all the time so aparently he's pretty popular. He's done a million reviews on both Linux devices and ARM devices and yet he knows nothing about either, the guy needs to study if he wants to keep doing what he does.

EDIT: He never says it's a A9, he says it's a ARM9.

EDIT EDIT: Oh, it was Engadget that made the goof, not this guy. I find it funny how everyone he interviews does not use English as their first language and neither does he, hilarity ensues.

Don`t think much of the battery life for the Android netbook ~1.5 hours, Ouch!

Though the other two Xburst and VIA linux 7" netbooks and the WinCE MID get the usual ~3 hours that seems typical of these cheap chinese devices.

really? jeez, i would have thought that'd be the selling point of these things. Heck there's plenty of room for a decent battery, wtf?

Oh yeah, he did interview ED. It was one of the first videos that I saw with ED and I thought he looked annoyed, I need to watch it again. This guy is pretty famous if he got an interview with ED.
