It looks very similar to this http://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Laptops/Netbooks/Arianet+7%22+Minibook+V2+with+Windows+CE+?productId=36193 so possibly shares the same ARM processor?
This is available at Maplin.co.uk for £149 and it claims that it comes with a Samsung ARM 9 400Mhz processor. Its currently out of stock though...
I just got one of these thinking it would be ideal to take on holiday for doing all sorts of things. The GPRS connection and wi-fi work ok, as does the web browser and wp & spreadsheet.
What doesn't work is the Media player, so I can't listen to music or watch movies, the image viewer so I won't be able to look at my holiday snaps, the PDF reader so I can't even look at the user manual I downloaded, or the pidgin chat so I can't connect to MSN (gives me an error) or Yahoo (the connection box is too tall and there's no means of scrolling down to complete details).
Also I can't set date and time becasue the "settings" utility isn't in the utility menu!
I'm still waiting for an email back after 3 days to help resolve these issues.
Sorry for the rant, but this looked just the ticket, and it's just not delivering.
