[Arm-netbook] CT-PC89E: lighter and a few questions

[Teis Dreijer]

I just got my unit yesterday. Very impressed by the screen; video and
web not so much - I can't wait to see what the machine can do with just
a few handpicked packages and a good makeover of configs. Just had it on
a scale, and it measures 722g w/o the protective film, sd card and PSU
(just the unit). Thats much less than the 800g people talk about.

Few questions:
 - the webcam is not a webcam? if this is the case, I'd like to add it
myself. Any schematics (and maybe even parts) available soon?
- when I hit the power button some leds comes on. I have to hold it for
1-2 seconds to get it to boot - same for you?
- brightness app not working?
- any chance they touchpad could support multi-touch (ie. for scrolling)
- anyone figured out the refresh rate of the screen?
- if a revision with a faster cpu and more modern ram is made, is there
any chance we can upgrade our existing machines? I'd be happy to get
another, but upgrading the old one would be nice too.
- any pictures of the battery pack? I do not have the heart to rip the
machine apart to check it out. Also how tight is things inside the
machine? any room for adding to the interior (like bt dongle, maybe
paired with usb hub. both stripped down)

Noticed the PDF reader has a logo nicked from Adobe, the 'about' dialogs
a bit funny and automounting a bit broken - everything is very
charming ;-)

Brought it with me today and was asked a lot if it was a new
'mini-mac' :^) everybody who asked the price was blown away, some even
asked where they could pick up one, so I'm pretty sure there is a marked
for these little things. With a bit more speed they would rock for
web-browsing too (we still need flash btw - anyone dived into this?).
Compared to my 14.1" thinkpad with huge battery this seems like a true
notebook - extremely light and not for (productive) use in extended
amount of time.

Woups that was more text than intended,
