Limited-edition netbook is just like every other netbook except that there are only 30 of them

So basically, it’s the same as just about every other netbook ever released to date.

... limited edition model I am not sure it will be missed elsewhere.
Feature-wise the Prime Note Cartina will include an 8.9-inch display, an Atom N270 processor, 120GB of storage, 1GB of RAM, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g and will be running Linux. Oh, and it only weighs 2.4-pounds. Wait, what exactly makes this a limited edition, seems more like it should a limited supply. This netbook seems to be doing nothing more than cashing in on a popular trend.
