HiVision makes one of the worlds cheapest Linux laptops at $98 using a new cheaper chipset, WiFi, 1GB flash storage, it runs Linux, 3 USB ports, Ethernet, SDHC card reader, audio in and out. Voice-chat, Skype, multi-tabbed Firefox browser support, Abiword for word processing. Automatic online software updates. Their current model is based on a public chinese low cost case mold design and is running on a MIPS processor, they may soon also support an ARM9 with DSP as the processor and they are showing their own nice looking case design molds. All running on smooth Linux interfaces. In this video, I got to borrow a review sample of the laptop overnight, and I try to show you all the browser and other software interfaces in this extended video review of this cheap MIPS based laptop. ARM and DSP is the way that I hope that most cheap laptops are going to be based on in the near future, Google will hopefully make a great Chrome browser for this kind of Laptop and hopefully that the geniuses at OLPC soon will announce that they will work to improve ARM and DSP based laptops in XO-1.5 and XO-2 designs.You can watch this video in DivX HD 720p quality at http://techvideoblog.com/ifa/9... exclusive sponsor for the IFA 2008 video coverage at TechVideoBlog.com is DivX Networks.

This laptop is not really optimized for mass production yet I think. But it should be very soon.. For example they need fully open source Linux OS with software updates, for example Android and they need Flash support..

You don't need more for a Linux OS with all the applications. For multimedia files simply use an SD card, there are some up to 32GB..
