If I knew chinese I would pick one of these up in a heart beat. Would be nice to triple boot. OS X, FreeBSD/PC-BSD and Linux.

On a small netbook? What would be the point.

They look like they are about to become a free toy from a cerial packet if I'm honest.

Well if I don't feel like lugging around my macbook pro and need something small thats bigger then an iPhone with a keyboard so I can program and run real apps. The iPad need not apply, I'll buy one just for ebooks, but you cant program on it.

BTW I found the Manufacturer:

Rui Iridium Star Digital

That does not answer why you would triple boot it. Why put 3 OS's on it? It's only a small netbook, I doubt the HD is big enough (that's if it isn't flash memory, then it would be even smaller).

Surly just Xubuntu or a hacked version of OS X would run fine. Maybe just Windows CE if your not planning on doing anything but web browse on it.
