Too Much Netbook For Too Litl?

,----[ Quote ]
| A Boston-based startup named Litl is taking
| a big risk: they're betting people will go
| for a netbook that sports a Linux-based OS
| and focuses on Web-/network-based
| productivity (Facebook, Twitter, etc.). The
| risk is in the pricetag: $700 -- almost
| twice the price of computers that can do
| twice as much. Is there a market for this?
