I have the first generation...  :-/

I know a couple of chinese manufacturers with very nice cases....

As Luke has writen in a private mail tome for some weeks, it could be  a
very interesting thing, to cooperate with 1-3 manufactures which produce
a Netbook with my or own design and functionality...

Most of the PCBs have enoughplace to support a "Marvel Armada 300"  with
HSDPA, GPS, Compas, Bluetooth, Wifi and more.

It is ony a question of the price and the the expected standby  time  of
the batterie.

Such Killer-Netbook PCB would cost as a prototype arround  2500 Euro  in
material (chips, PCB, soldering, ...) plus my work-time.

I have found space saving 32 bit DDR2 and DDR3 memory as POP with  1,  2
and 4 GBit...  unfortunately they are military grade and very costly.

When I saw the announcement in the EDN, I was dreaming from a SBC in the
size of a cellphone but with the power of a normal PC...  :-D

1 Armada 300 (2000MHz)
2 DDR3 POP Memory 4 Gbit
1 Micron Nand Flash 64 Gbit
1 PMIC

:-D  --  The size of this SBC would be arround 45x75mm

But if you know the price of memory chips as samples...  :-(

Hey and Micron announced the NAND Flash, but they are stil not available
and it is always the same problem:

   First they make you hot <grmpf>, then they kick you <double-grmpf>
   into the Six-Star Frigo and let you wait for the next 6-12 month.

For my "TablePCs" I want les then 0.5% per year because  they  are   not
realy designed as inexpensive consumer stuff...  It shuld have at  least
lower industrial grade.

Thanks, Greetings and nice Day/Evening
