That elusive beast, the ARM-based Netbook - or Smartbook as some like to call it - could have been spotted at CES.
Asking ARM's CEO, Warren East, about the situation, he told me: "Lenovo had two at CES. There are a few out there. It's relatively early days."
A little later ARM's PR sent me this link.
The beast is scheduled for unveiling, says Lenovo, in 'the Spring'.

sorry,i do not know what is "CES“
Consumer Electronics Show
$499 and you have to buy a separate 3G contract.
These are Apple prices not Lenovo. They will need to discount heavily to get any sales for this proprietary Linux box .
$499 + a 3G contract? Crikey, chrisg, that's a total bummer. I thought these things were supposed to be priced around $200. Oh dear, maybe the ARM-based Netbook just ain't going to happen.
