Netbooks are really becoming a part of the market where all sorts of companies are trying out new things. For instance, earlier this week, we had a review of a MIPS-based Loongson-2 netbook from China, last Monday we reported on Acer implementing a Vmedia drive into a netbook, a while back we had a multitouch LCD touchpad netbook, and we've had more. Now we have one that uses an x86 SoC that doesn't come from AMD/Intel/VIA, and can run on... AA batteries.

...but it has to be a dog. Even running an optimized linux. Battery life of 4 to 6 hours isn't too bad. Cure tho'.
I wonder if we could rig our Prius to run on those batteries? Maybe a few thousand of them crammed together?
