Some V7 info thats been passed to me

Ok, got an email from a reliable source on the V7, it should be out in end of this week or by middle of the following week.

It will have 3 preloaded OS on it, Ubuntu Linux (same as Q7), Android and WinCE 6.0

However WinCE is in Chinese and the Android is unstable and prone to crash with how it is currently implemented.

Good news is that the Ubuntu will be in English.

If the pricing i got is correct then the resale price for this on our site will be about USD$270 (thats also including shipping)

eh, who knows, i suspect ubuntu will runn better this time round and it will be able to play high res videos, but i wouldn't be suprised if the video playback again couldn't meet what is being advertised due to the OS taking up to much resources.

What netboooks do you see? I haven't yet seen a $200 (new) netbook- especially one which plays- at least- 720P with HDMI out.

A netbook is hardly ever used as an "on-the-go" media player so you cant really compare them.

But you get what you pay for... unless its made by apple then you pay more for what you get usually.
