Hey have you guys seen the new Freescale "smartbook" for less then $200 :

An overview of the Freescale reference design:

* Display: 7-inch (1024 x 600) touch screen
* Processor: Freescale i.MX515 processor based on ARM Cortex-A8 core
* Connectivity: 3G modem (option) 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 2.1, GPS
* Memory: 512 MB DDR2
* Storage: from 4GB to 64GB internal storage; removable micro SD
* Camera: 3 Mpixel (video recording up to VGA 30fps)
* Sensors: 3-axis accelerometer and an ambient light sensor
* Adobe Flash Player support
* Operating system: Android or Linux
* Price: under $200

If they are truly going to sell these things then the Chinese MID's will be in trouble

. I really hope this will be available in my local shop, then I won't have to buy online and wait for the package to arrive.
