"If you shop around, you can actually get a functional computer for $500 (EUR 425,-). But as we become more budget conscious, $500 seems to be a bit much for a standard machine, so what's our next target? Why, it's an over ambitious $100 (EUR 85,-) notebook. How companies accomplish this is their business; what we are interested in is what they ship out for a product when all is said and done. As of now, however, there is one thing that interests me even more, and that is, why would they want to sell me a $100 notebook in the first place?"

I want one to use as a e-book.
I currently use a Clie SJ30 which is pretty damn good (using Palm Fiction) but if the next model of these is supposed to have an e-ink (e-paper?) screen, it would be awesome.
Specially with the crank since it would mean I can load it with a few dozens of books and go anywhere.
I would pay $150 for one such thing :-(
