Storage is catered for by a 4GB SSD meaning that the weight doesn’t creep above 800g. The Pegatron netbook includes a 4-in-1 card reader, USB 2.0 ports and a VGA out. As you would expect with an ARM-based chip, wireless connectivity includes 3G, GPS, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.

Build quality was found to be good, despite some flex in the palm rest area. The keyboard had good feedback but only had a small right shift key. Interestingly, a second model (with the same hardware) was shown running the Movial OS, which I’ve not heard of before. It was similar to Asus’ Easy Mode OS. There is no idea on cost right now, but hopefully it won’t be too far off the Wistron N900z’s predicted $200 price tag. Check out the video after the jump.

A number of operating system vendors (OSVs) have already committed to Moblin. This includes Linpus, who will offer its Moblin V2 Linpus Linux Lite in two versions, one with a Linpus UI and one with Intel’s UI. Canonical will release an “Ubuntu Moblin Remix”, whilst Novell demoed its SUSE edition of Moblin Version 2 on Acer and MSI hardware at Computex. Xandros also demonstrated its “Xandros Moblin 2 solution” on an Asus Eee PC in at Computex.

Now we have the news that Moblin 2.0 will support Google’s Android Market, which offers free and paid applications that can be downloaded to devices based on Google’s Android operating system. The system will operate in a similar way to that announced by Canonical: a run-time environment will provide a compatibility layer between the Android application and the Moblin operating system, allowing the applications to run as they would on a native Android system.

Anand Chandrasekher, senior vice president of Intel’s ultra mobility group, showed several Android applications installed on an Atom-based netbook running Moblin 2.0 during a speech on Thursday. The Moblin Linux kernel was created to be a fast and lightweight platform, specifically designed to run on Intel Atom-based netbooks. The v2.0 Beta is available to download now.

This ‘pre-OS’ is a new breed of applications based on Linux that are meant to boot up faster than Windows (or any other full operating system). In other words, they bring you online in less than 30 seconds and offer quick, easy access to the type of applications you’ll want to use.

Presto is said to differ from other solutions by being able to install directly from Windows. It is Prestos user-friendliness that sets it apart from other Linux distros. On installation, Presto has a single dock containing shortcuts to Firefox 3.0, Pidgin 2.4.3, Skype 2.0, the File Manager, and the Xandros’ application store. The ‘Presto App Store’ allows you to install other apps easily (Picasa, AVG for Linux and Last FM). Xandros claims that it will load in 15 seconds. However, Laptop Mag, found that from cold boot to full connectivity was just under 50 seconds.

Some of the more popular pre-OS solutions already on the market are Splashtop and Hyperspace. MSI have also announced an instant-on OS called Winki. Other upcoming pre-OSs that we’ll be keeping an eye on include Jolicloud, gOS Cloud and Moblin. JKKMobile has a video (below) of Presto in action on the Asus Eee PC 900. Despite a few hardware issues, he came away quite impressed with the beta.
