40k ¥ is around $400, which is amazing, considering this whoops the ass outta the ipad =]

@4N0NYM0U557 Actually netbooks / laptops that go for 40k here sell for under $300 in the States, so it's even cheaper than that! I am expected a price of just under 50k yen though.

Is that only in Japan? Is it in America?

@imroy264 thanks.. but in the end i decided to buy an archos101 internet tablet.. same price but better.. i mean anroid is better with touch.. :)

@WeijingJayLin Oh I hope so.

ARM/Linux is finally killing Intel/Windows! :)

[imroy264]

@edrianquintos I read in another review that it's possible to run Ubuntu (netbook edition?) on this device. That would allow you to run some more decent office type applications - if not OpenOffice/LibreOffice, then some more lighter-weight programs.

It should have no problem playing playing videos, although Flash is always a big problem.

Windows is over?!

@times9 you live under a bridge right?

[edrianquintos]

@4N0NYM0U557 how can a netbook kick the ass of a tablet? it's like comparing motorbikes and cars. i have the ipad and i'm considering getting a very light net/notebook but it won't be able to replace the ipad. the ipad can be replaced by a tablet like the notion adam.
