Hardware, Embedded Systems Chip company ARM is prepping to make its move into the netbook market, and now it has shown off a few prototype designs that really show off the benefits of using the ARM platform: thanks to passive cooling, no fans are required, enabling ARM netbooks to be much thinner and lighter than their Intel counterparts. Thanks to ZDNet, we have a nice video overview of these ARM netbooks - as well as a few very tiny ARM desktop machines.

I'm reassured to see that they say the four ARM architectures (none of which appear to be Cortex-A8 or A9 based, but I don't know what I'm looking for) are "fully supported". If they truly do have the complete Debian software suite (and if Canonical exposes all of it to end users) then I'm sold.
