Get a $99 Mini-Netbook 1
$99 mini-netbook with an ARM processor
Buy It Today!
The device runs either WindowsCE or Android, but I imagine an Ubuntu-on-ARM or Maemo5 distro will work too. For $99, I’d buy one of these devices today, on a whim. If they were in Walmart or Target, then I’d buy 2 of them. Seriously, my neighbor could replace her $700 laptop with this for all the email and surfing she does AND be safer on the internet.
Add an 8GB class 6 SDHC and you’re ready for most home internet users.
