[Arm-netbook] CT-PC89E - translation of meaning behind this alibaba page

[Michelle Konzack]

Hello Luke,

Am 2010-03-26 11:31:20, hacktest Du folgendes herunter:
> http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/277571430/8_9_TFT_LED_2GB_NAND.html

The whole describtion sounds weird...

If you scroll down, you find in "Product Details"

    Brand:  HONGJI

and below

    7.0-inch Netbook, 2GB NAND Flash, VIA 8500 CPU 300MHz, 128MB Memory

Maybe because it is anothermachine and not the CT-PC89E

Maybe we should REALY design a simpe Netbook our own lieke the one from

    <http://www.touchkit.com/>

but less expensive. The design does not require complex structures to be
calculated and can easyly manufactured

Hmmm...

I have contacted <http://www.AdoptSMT.at/> for used  machines  (Printer,
Placer and Reflow) and a second german enterprise which  sells  machines
to manufacturer the PCB.

Now I need an enterprise which sell used mulding machines...

Then I have only to design the PCB, the case and I  now  MANY  cool  :-D
Linux Developer which take over the rest...

No dependance on flacky chinese manufacturers.  --  I realy have enough!

If you have no one in China, which kick them into there ass, nothing  is
working as expected.

Thanks, Greetings and nice Day/Evening
