CeBIT 2010: $65 Android Netbook

We have to say this before we even start to talk about this netbook this is the manufacturer sales price not the price to consumers. For you and me we can expect to see it for well below $100. The FirstView, E-Frist is running Android Donut and is surprisingly zippy, for running a Via 533Mhz processor.
