| Similarly sweet is Acer’s implementation of Linux as the operating system via 
| a customized version of Linpus Linux Lite, which allows the Aspire One to

| And did I already mention that the Linux edition of the Acer Aspire One 
| currently fetches for P15,000, give or take? With its gorgeous finish, solid 
| hardware/software feature set, and that price that just hits the sweet spot

,----[ Quote ]
| Opportunities for Linux in the mobile Internet device arena are huge and 
| could redefine the platform's role in the consumer market. The problems faced 
| by hardware makers that are currently attempting to sell Linux-based netbook 
| devices show that it will not be easy for Linux to flourish in this crucial 
| space, but some hard work by Linux vendors could help turn the opportunity 
| into a victory.
