Decrying stasis in the laptop industry, InfoWorld's Tom Yager and crew have designed their ideal laptop for 2009 given the components are available currently. The project was subjected to the same limitations manufacturers face when whiteboarding a new notebook and introduced only those components that would increase end-user productivity manyfold. The resulting AMD Puma-based WorldBook Ether and WorldBook Meteor [specs, tour, pricing] include an 'Embedded Smartphone' system-in-system ARM microcontroller, flash-memory overlay for fast boot, and ATI/AMD Hybrid Graphics for power-saving switched mode.

yeah well.. same day.. for SOME, lots of people are having issues even getting the driver RUNNING with the 48xx, and for those who does, the drivers are still not supporting opengl properly, leaving stuff such as wine amongst others not working, and naturally xv is broken totally.
The only real hope is the free drivers, which yes, are advancing, and for R500 actually works stable and has proper XV support. But before we see full opengl supports its gonna take time.
