First shots of Alpha 680

[living_sword]

Alpha 680, one of the first netbooks to use Android, has generated quite an interest among the netbook aficionados. The netbook is based on an ARM11 CPU running at 533 MHz and sports a 7" LCD screen at 800 by 480 pixels, 128MB DDR2 RAM (expandable to 256 MB), 1GB SSD drive (expandable to 4 GB), Wi-Fi, keyboard and touch pad. On the downside there's the incompatibility with some of the Android apps in the Market. It is expected to hit the market in Q3 for around $250.

wait, netbook aficionado? im sorry but that just sounds about as important as "dollar menu aficionado".

also, i doubt you can make phone calls on that thing since its probably missing the radios needed to do so. i dont think i would get one until there are things like windows, instead of every app maximizing to the screen and for the most part closing when a context switch occurs.
