http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WonderMedia Beware of the ton of issues you will have with any ARM platform. Issues which are largely fixed, or getting fixed, by the linux-sunxi community for allwinner. As for netbooks, that format is not too popular right now, so the cheap chinese sweatshops are not churning many out. Lkcls tablet project is turning out to be quite a lot of painstaking work, and taking much longer than anyone expected. Perhaps his tablet experience will open the door for an a20 based netbook in the next 6-12 months :) Luc Verhaegen. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
