With the Linux-based ultra-mobile market heating up, it seems like everyone is wanting to have an offering. The latest is coming from Elonex, except this one does not appear to be that Eee PC killer that everyone is looking for. The price, if it is actually released at what it is anticipated at will be nice, it is expected to retail for £100 (about $200). Elonex plans to introduce the One to education markets, but will also be marketed to “adult learners, business users, people who are constantly mobile, elderly people and first time internet users.”

The Elonex One will feature a 7-inch 800x480 display, a 300 MHz X86 processor, 1GB of flash memory, three hours of battery life, weighing 2.2 pounds and running Linux. There will also be a more expensive version costing £120 that will include 2GB of flash memory and also Bluetooth.
