Pegatron ARM netbook with Ubuntu gets pictured

Engadget found a photo of an upcoming Ubuntu-equipped netbook from Pegatron that is based on an ARM processor. These netbooks (or smartbooks) are expected to hit the market for under $200.
All unnecessary snideness aside, the sub-$200 price point that's being floated about definitely has us interested, though the Ubuntu operating system is likely to fend off any non-adventurous would-be buyers. The machine was spotted at ARM's Connected Community Technical Symposium 2009 over in Taiwan, and while the actual internals remain a mystery, snoopers were told that it'll boast instant-on capabilities and a low power draw.
