Behold the $40 netbook

It is an ARM procesor, I wonder if it could run Pandora's Linux
 
these have been around for a while on DX and i think the general consensus is that they're crap.

and it's not really $40 cos it costs another $40 to get it shipped :p

Yeah, seems that it has Windows CE installed by default - and as you can't flash it, you can't put a decent linux on it either. And besides, the Ben Nanonote is a smidge faster and does run linux :)

Can these puppys run windows ce software from pocket pcs? Does the dos emulator for HPC/PPC work on these? What about youtube, do they have a browser that can play youtube videos? I have been thinking about getting one of these if it can run regular PPCC programs and games. There is a HUGE library of windows CE software.

So far the only real 'powerful' ARM netbook has been the Touch Book but it's spendy and has a few flaws, I still have my fingers crossed for version 2.0.

I keep waiting and waiting for a good ARM netbook but so far no luck. . .

zipit z2 over the nanonote. That one at least has wireless and is half the price.

True, but I prefer the looks of the Nanonote - which is a very small fraction of a smidgeon faster too. Wireless holds no interest for me.
