"The PC industry really has three categories today; we have the desktop, the notebook, and the netbook computer. According to Freescale and Qualcomm a new term is needed to describe some of the Linux-based machines that use ARM hardware shown at Computex.
"The term that the duo is using for its ARM/Linux portables are Smartbooks. Compared to a netbook the smartbook will be cheaper, smaller, and have a longer battery life than the netbooks so popular with consumers today. Some of the machines spotted at Computex were running Linux-based Google Android."
