Netbooks' Primary Function???
A netbook, whose primary function is to surf the web, is going to need Flash.???

Not true, at least not true for everyone. My primary function for a netbook would be digital photography storage and editing, calendar/organizer and email. Web surfing would be a nice but unnecessary feature since I do all my web surfing at home.

And the ARM is the nicest processor I've ever worked with. I'm delighted that once more I'll be able to buy and program an ARM based computer.

You also forget the purpose of a Netbook, and also how the software we use  DonnieBoy | 11/14/08
Yes, I agree. I think that Intel will throw a lot of resources at this  DonnieBoy | 11/14/08

Yes, Flash is important, and it is a simple re-compile for 32-bit arm. But,  DonnieBoy | 11/14/08
