Second netbook wave begins

,----[ Quote ]
| Another possibility may be Android. A netbook version has been rumored to be 
| under development by Google, and VentureBeat recently reported that 
| a "reliable source" has informed them that Intel is "preparing for the mass 
| production of Google Android-based netbooks." Meanwhile, The Girvan Institute 
| has stated that it will present a conference on Android development for the 
| Intel Atom, as part of its "Mobile Internet Developers Conference" series 
| this year.

Frustration and flight for my Linux netbook

,----[ Quote ]
| Since then, we’ve been enjoying our Linux netbook very much. We’ve tuned the 
| desktop to the look and feel we each like using different user profiles, 
| downloaded some of our favorite open source games and given the new computer 
| a comprehensive test drive. I’m happy to report I still have confidence that 
| Linux is a great fit for netbooks. I wonder if folks getting Windows XP-based 
| netbooks will also be wanting to upgrade to a more modern OS? Time will tell.

| drive. Instead, it will ship with a bootable USB storage stick (dubbed the
| G-Key) that runs Mandriva G-Linux and has over 50 open-source applications
