How low can you go in the netbook arena? If you're a Taiwan-based company called Aware Electronics, you can apparently go as low as $150 for a netbook, but it doesn't stop there. The A-View, as it's being called, will also sport a detachable 7-inch screen.
The pint-sized, detachable PC is currently being shown at the 2009 Electronics and Components China Sourcing Fair in Hong Kong. Not a whole lot of information has been made available regarding the A-View's hardware, though we do know it comes with up to 512MB of memory, 8GB flash storage, and choice of Windows XP or Linux. Beyond that, it's anyone's guess how Aware Electronics intends to push this out to the masses for just $150, or even if it intends to. According to news and rumor site DigiTimes, Aware is focusing on emerging markets.

How seriously funny is this netbook craze right now? They can make a computer like this, yet couldn't make a $100 computer for third world kids for anything less than $220!!!!!! Let's just send eepc's to everyone, it will be cheaper and they'll get a better computer.
