$250 Eee device out; the bar gets lower

$250 Eee device outCheaper and simpler may be the name of the game, as another Eee competitor came out –- the Bestlink Alpha 400.

Displaying a 7-inch true color display at 800 x 480 resolution, the Linux PC packs a 32-bit XBurst 400Mhz processor and a measly 128MB RAM and 1-2GB of internal flash storage.  The Alpha 400 offers nothing jaw-dropping, except perhaps its $250 price tag.

The device also offers an SD memory card slot, USB connectivity, and optional WiFi capability.  The Alpha 400 measures a diminutive 8.3” x 5.6” x 1.3” and weighs a mere 1.5 pounds.  If you can find another 99 who would want it, the price drops to $180 per unit (they offer a curious bulk deal at 100 machines).  A pretty good deal since $18,000 could easily be the cost of one high-specs computer.
