It’s the most wonderful time of the year unless you get your loved one this “Netbook” on Black Friday.  Kmart is offering what they call a netbook for $119.99.  The only problem is this “netbook” has a 7 inch screen, 400 MHz ARM processor, 2 GB of storage and 128 MB of ram — and NO CHANCE of viewing a modern web site thanks to the ever crappy Pocket IE.

Unless they have pre-installed Skyfire or anything else, this computer is useless.  As for running your favorite Windows apps?  No way.  The only thing you may have a chance of doing is hacking it, and putting Linux or Android on it, but even then it would be pretty danged slow. Steer clear of this Black Friday “Deal”.
