The $99 Notebook from Cherrypal

Cherrypal has announced a $99 notebook, the Cherrypal Africa.
Although it’s probably closer to a netbook…
The notebook reportedly has a 7 inch screen, a 400 MHz ARM processor, with 256 MB of RAM and 2 GB flash drive.
The notebook runs Windows CE and Linux.
The notebook is called the Cherrypal Africa, and is aimed at users in third world countries.
It’s much like the OLPC XO, but at half the price.
Since this is the initial model of the Cherrypal Africa…
I am waiting to see what reviews it gets.
The Cherrypal website boasts that the laptop is efficient and green.
I would love to see this, after evolving for about 18 months.
With netbooks still being a growing market…
ARM is getting positioned to take their place.
While reading about the Cherrypal Africa… I am not overly optimistic about this particular model.
I do think it shows promise.
It will help drive prices for the consumer down, more and more.
The day will be arriving soon, when we can buy a laptop that will do what we need, or our basic stuff…
Yet, won’t cost a small fortune.
