Show notes: QUESTIONS about Netbook World Summit
How was it different this year? (Smart books (qualcomm definition) Bigger netbooks.)
What are you going to call it next year? The 12″ cheap laptop conference?
We’re seeing bigger, heavier netbooks every week. How important is mobility in the netbook world now?
Jean Veraldi of Qualcom called netbooks ‘low cost laptops’ do you agree?
Also said ‘We have enough cpu and multimedia strengths’ – enable always-on. Different usage.
NC10. 200,000 units in France. France is big market, 65m people. 1/10th of ‘greater’ Europe. About 1/5th of ‘western’ Europe. 5×200,000 = 1million. 250,000 Rest of Europe. 300,000 US. 300,00 Asia. 2 million total sold?
Always-on.
How are netbooks going to compete.

All of us have the Archos Android Tablet.






Archos released another firmware for the A5 yesterday. I am still using the Anroid Market hack and really liking this device. I use it tethered to my mobile phone and its working great.
sounds like you really need to read up on xorg and ram management chippy.
1. the amout of ram reported for xorg include video ram.
2. xorg also includes the graphics data for any running gui program.
all in all, xorg is not the ram hog you claim it is.
