Cherrypal Delivers “Africa” Netbook For Only $US99

Cherrypal, the guys behind last year’s super green cloud computer have managed to put together a netbook dubbed “Africa” that will sell for only $US99.

Specs include: a 400 MHz processor, 256GB RAM, 2GB flash memory, 7-inch screen (800×480), USB 1.1 and 2.0 ports, SD card support, and it runs either Linux or Windows CE operating systems (it should also get about four hours of use on the Lithium battery). Yeah, don’t expect much for your $US99 – as the product page notes, it’s “small, slow, and sufficient”. Africa is available now at the Cherrypal open store. [Cherrypal via PRNewswire via Engadget]

    I payed $3000 for and IBM PC in 1981.

    That ain’t slow it just shouldn’t have today’s SLOW, BLOATED and INEFFICIENT software installed on it.

    I would sooner buy that then a Kindle or a Nook.

    Americans are spoiled and don’t know the RIGHT machines to buy. Have to keep up with the dumb Joneses.
