Don't hold your breath. The current market surveys say that there is no market for them. Check out this weeks PC Week or Mac Week, as they both have several articles discussing this. Bottem line is that the under $1000 computer seems to have no future either in industry or the home.
Peter Lewis reports in today's NYT on "doubts about the fantasy of a $500 'Network PC' " but quotes Eric Schmidt of Sun saying, "They will exist and they will be very successful, and not just from Sun and Oracle. The price points are going to be pretty low, and they'll look more like consumer electronics." Anybody want this mixed review send us a BOX_top.
