The two partners are hoping to bring the ARM-based netbook to market within the next few months under the flagship of a major OEM at a retail price of $199 to $299."</em></p><p><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/dht/auto/1231453562.usr10.jpg" style="border: 1px solid #d2d2bb;" /></p><p>We'll see if that price actually carries through. Compared to the current crop, a 10 inch device with an 8 hour battery life would be a winner. From the details, they will be Linux based and designed as a purely web device, so don't expect much in the way of horsepower or storage, although this probably will help with the 8 hour battery life.</p><p> </p>
