    I never heard of $100 ARM netbooks... the $200 ones are supposed to come out sometime in the 4th quarter I think...

    The only one i can recall is that Lenovo Skylight pushed to June now and even thats no where near $100!. Werent there prototype shown over a year ago though :/. I think the problem is people seem to have gone tablet atm so i guess we wont be seeing many

    I had been wishing to use one for uni but seems like it wont happen

    With all due respect, one dubious article (from four days ago) promising a tremendously underpowered netbook for US$100 and nowhere to actually buy it (even if anyone wanted it) does not support the position that "they've been promising us this for years."

    Who promised this $100 ARM netbook? That's what I'm wondering.

    Unfortunately, all the ones I've seen run an embedded version of Win CE.
