Hardware, Embedded Systems There has been some concern among enthusiasts that the emerging netbook market is nothing but a fad - it's fun and interesting now, but it will die out soon enough. Intel and AMD sure seem to be very careful about the netbook market, but according to figures from DisplaySearch, the market for small notebooks has exploded over the course of a year.

Interesting. Best Buy where I'm currently living in Pennsylvania seems to have nothing but EEE PC netbooks. No Aspire Ones, no MSI Winds, and No HP Mininotes. But they usually have five or six EEE PCs on display, though they don't seem to have any Linux models.

Maybe an Eastern Canada thing. ;) The FutureShops and Staples here in BC carry a lot of ASUS gear, including the eeePC.
