That product makes sence :)
A mass market for en Gensi developed / produced netbook would be fine.
@BBRV
be careful with the name 'Netbook' you used here https://www.genesi-usa.com/products it is a registered trademark by PSION/Nokia.

750$ for developing kit is a little expensive. Don't you think?
"750$ for developing kit is a little expensive. Don't you think?"
Well, no...
Considering the low quantity of available development boards, and the fact that they target developers, not end users, it's quite cheap actually. Usually, one can expect to pay several $1000's for a development board.
@Behrouz
How about $0 then?

The HPCN-MPC8641D development board goes for some $4,000 at a reseller if I recall correctly (at the launch of the 8640D chip they had a time limited promotional price of $1,499). Developer boards tend to be pricey, at least from a consumer's point of view.
If you are a developer with an interesting project idea, I think you should apply for the sponsored developer program (or try to find dev boards cheaper than this, which I doubt you will).
If you are a consumer you should just wait a little longer for the consumer level product. That one should have an entirely different price tag.
