Netbooks are here. The Coby PoqetMate prove it as the sub-$100 netbooks are headed to Rite Aid Pharmacies and Kroger grocery stores. Once a product breaks free of its niche market and invades the general populous, you might as well get use to them ’cause they aren’t going anywhere. As for this Coby Netbook, the 7-inch flavor is going to ring up under $100. Specs are a bit sketchy but it seems that a Chinese Longsoon CPU will power some sort Linux distro. Expect them to hit main street sometime by March. Netbooks are here, folks. No avoiding ‘em now.

I can’t believe you guys have this story listed still as “fact”. It’s a hoax. http://www.rossrubin.com/outofthebox/2008/12/04/calling-shenanigans-on-the-coby-100-midget-pc/
You can get a netbook at $199, with Wifi, webcam and a windows xp supported hardware system.
It is impossible for a real computer at $100. At least in these days.
