The $100 Coby Netbook might not be coming after all
this story, or any announcement regarding a netbook, was not (emphasis theirs) initiated, condoned, or approved by Coby Electronics.
The story does seem to be too good to be true. $100 netbook, built using cheap Chinese tech. Isn’t that the price point non-profits are trying to hit for developing countries but have struggled to hit? And these computers where to be sold in pharmacies and grocery stores? I, for one, wouldn’t mind if this story does in fact turn out to be an unfounded Internet rumor. More as we get it.
