666? Evil number!

 

[Guest]

a portable machine that plays doom? WE HAVE FOUND GODS COMPUTER!

 

[jhansonxi]

Even more evil - WinCE 5 (why not 6 at least?)

"We're betting this 'THINK'even has a 56k modem"...?
I know I know, it's just a typo. I'm teasing ya...

 

[crazymech]

You know the internal is lousy when it runs WinCE xD

 

[ColMirage]

No matter how cheap a notebook or laptop may be, I still don't need or want one.

 

[brendano257]

Ewwww it looks fugly!!!! Yeah...not seeing the point, especially with that kind of hardware.

 

[ceslami]

At least its packing an 800x480 screen. That way I can watch all of my high definition movies in the proper aspect rati...oh wait. No.

That said, who knows what kind of press this thing would get in the states. There are many people who cannot afford netbooks at their current price point, but $98 could break that barrier. And in terms of demographics, this market would largely be very rural, and most likely the Midwest states. There, people are still using dial up widely.

so its like a really big winmobile phone? without the phone?

 

[Shadow703793]

Oh the irony....666....in 666 days or hours expect the Netbook to spontaneously explode.

On a serious note, you could run a Linux distro on it (better than WinCE) 😛

 

[DalaiLamar]

I'll choose 666 over 777 anytime.

 

[enewmen]

This is NOT a netbook, just a BIG Pocket PC.
If it's possible to install Win98 and play DOOM1 or install Linux/Gnome, then I'll call it a real netbook.
If there is a Windows port to Arm, I'll be tempted.

 

[leafblower29]

128mb was bad 10 years ago.

 

[leafblower29]

Omg my computer from 1998 is better than this, and it was slow back then.

 

[antemon]

is it just me or the recent tom's articles are riddled with typos?

God probably just bought a used iPod Video and put Rockbox on it.

This is the like a nightmare of some sort, where, pieces of shit computers start to fill up the shelves of consumer electronic stores nationwide. Kinda like a "Cash for Clunkers" program. "Come in and trade your energy sapping beasts for our highly efficient replacements!" Then, secretly, those scumbags sell your car for parts (go read the website) and crush the engine. What!!?? This is like the start of Wall E.

 

[IzzyCraft]

I seen phones that are more expensive then that.

 

[walkthetalk]

Why OH WHY "WINCE" ??? Linux would make much more sense! Go figure!

 

[nitto555rchallenger]

This just shows you how so LAME the netbook society is getting. ~We all love netbooks! ~The smaller, the better! ~Its do cheap and afforable! God I Hate Netbooks!

 

[shotgunpadre]

That, I would dare open and install touch screen. Tough touch screen is a little more expensive

 

[anamaniac]

Smart phone with a bigger screen and increased functionality.

 

[eddieroolz]

Yellow plastic eh. It must be using recycled plastic mixed in with urine 😛
