Nova media unveils mobile connection manager for Eee PCs running Linux

,----[ Quote ]
| Berlin, September 2nd -- nova media today unveiled 'launch2net for Linux', a 
| mobile Internet connection manager for Asus Eee PCs running Linux. 
| 
| launch2net already includes connection settings for most mobile network 
| operators worldwide, eliminating the need to enter cryptic settings like user 
| name, password or APN address. This makes it easy to use a Prepaid SIM card 
| abroad to save high roaming costs.

More evidence of Microsoft "tying up" the Asus EeePC

,----[ Quote ]
| Then, one of the makers of Netbooks will release a fantastic product using
| the paid Ubuntu/Netbook Remix, which will make us all forget about the EeePC
| — or, maybe we’ll remember it as one of the makers which used GNU/Linux in
| order to launch a product, and then gave in to Microsoft’s pressure.
|
| The real question is: will the next maker manage to resist Microsoft’s
| pressure? Or will everybody end up closely tied up with Microsoft?
