Here is a picture: http://guangzhou.baixing.com/zanzhushang/t3122465.html

It also has wifi and a choice of 2, 4, or 8GB flash drive. Only 800x400 resolution though.

Resolution means jack squat if you will be using the thing as an Emacs station at 25x80 ;-)

Urgh, I can't stand coding on those tiny keyboards.

Screen shows clearly Windows XP, specs list WinCE and ARM CPU. Photoshop?

You're wrong about the resolution, it's 800x480, the quoted price is for the 2G flash version.

wow that track pad looks small. I am reluctant to say that this laptop is usable at all for day to day usage. Probably wont be able to run youtube on 64mb ram and 266mhz cpu.

I've used the eee pc (same form factor) on trips to keep an eye on things and read email, the trackpad is small but usable, for longer uses add a very small travellers mouse.

It explicitly states it can do H.264 in the docs (for skype), not sure if it will even do flash.

It is definitely not meant for all day usage, but if you're a kid then it's doable (small keyboards work better with small fingers :) ).
