MenQ: An $80 netbook

As I was searching youtube for videos of new netbooks i'm eyeing to get (hopefully), I came across this video of an $80 (a little less than P3000) netbook. What do you know? It wasn't a fake video. It actually is a very small and affordable netbook. From the specs alone it is very similar to a pda phone a few years back:

- samsung arm cpu
- 64Mb ram
- 7" screen
- OS: Microsoft CE

Suprising enough, based on the video, it's fast enough for basic needs (surfing the net and office docs). I think this will be great for grade school students for research on the net and paperworks or even budget offices for employees to use (just use the zoom function or adjust to a bigger font for weaker eyes.) If ever this gets to our shores it will be of very great use to our under privileged students in public schools.
