Re: Netbooks for Christmas?

Since I mentioned [link] as a source of
cheap Netbooks, the company has sold out and moved to Somerset - but
they still have end-of-line and refurbished machines available at
reasonable prices - currently an Acer with 8.9" screen, Atom 1.6GHz
processor, 512 megabytes of RAM and 8 gigabytes of flash storage for

Netbooks for Christmas?

One year later... Things are a lot calmer this year... There doesn't
seem to be a mad rush to buy Netbooks. The Elonex site is no longer
offering any of their machines directly for sale, suggesting you can
buy their 10 inch Webbook from Carphone Warehouse...

Maplin don't quite have the CnM Minibook available either - but they

Windows CE support?

For those of you interested in the Windows CE equivalent to the Elonex
ONEt/Maplin CnMBook - the CnMbook "Silver", there's a new support site
opened up at:

Thanks, but still no joy. I think it is broken. :(

You may have noticed that the [link]
website has recently been revamped, with various additions to the
software available, advice pages, and there's now a forum - though
there's little information on the forum as yet.

There's also a link to another Forum at: [link]

Fit Like?

There's actually two parts to the ONEt recovery - a uimage file that's
loaded using Shift+Fn+F1 and a recovery image loaded using F3.

The versions of the two parts need to match - I had a problem with USB
devices after I did an F3 load without the matching uImage load - see
the discussion on:

Cannot engage software recovery mode

Hi Folks,

I wanted to install an alternate OS, but when I tried, I think I've
damaged the native software, and I can't get it to do the software
recovery thing.

I have downloaded the files, put them on an SD card, in the slot and
tried to boot from it.
There seems to be some uncertainty around t'internet about which

Japanese (or two-byte) fonts on Elonex Onet

ykoz...@googlemail.com (ykozato) — Fri, 08 Aug 2009 16:34:21 UT

I was trying to display Japanese characters on the Web browser.
Referring to some web sites, I created the directory "TrueType" under
the "/lib/X11/fonts" directory. I copied a truetype font file into the
"TrueType" directory and also created the "fonts.dir" in the same
directory. I am nearly certain that the place I created is right.

Hi Colin,
I think you overestimated this little laptop:
The Elonex does not have 2 GB RAM, it has 2GB Flash memory divided in 1GB for the operating system and 1 GB for the user. It has only 128MB ram so any photoediting and such will be problematic. The processor used in the Elonex is an Jz4730 from Ingenic which is MIPS compatible (not Intel or AMD) which means you can not simply install another OS unless it is specifically made for this processor and hardware.

Android for MIPS

Here is a news article saying that MIPS technologies is releasing
source code for Android for MIPS architecture.

The processor used in the OneT+ and family are MIPS Little Endian
based. I do not know how technically fesible it is but chances are

Hi Mike,

What you can do though, is replace the current linux installation with
one of the ones that enthusiasts have put together on the various forums
to do with the onet and other "little linux laptops". The most complete
at the moment seems to be the 3MX distribution. It gives you lots of
