Hello all,

This is Fran from Exon. We are the Chinese ODM manufacturer behind most of the 7" minilaptop Linux computers offered by different oversea brands (Alpha 400, 3K RazorBook 400, Trendtac, etc).

Our current offer for 1K of these computers is USD89 each (2008 Nov), and we have just also upgraded the processor to Intel XScale. Thank you.

Best regards,

Uh, everyone but Ingenic is to be blamed, Ingenic just sells a 336 MHz Jz4730 and a 360 MHz Jz4740 and as far as I know they don't have anything running at 400 MHz.

Actually, I'm starting to think everything is a rebadget Skytone. Look at this picture:

It says "Skytone" on the PCB. It also has an Ingenic Jz4730 (not Jz4732!), see this picture:

This cpu runs at its official speed of 336 MHz, so it seems everyone has been lying about the 400 MHz. See here:

And it´s also sold under the name Belco Alpha 400 from Hong Kong based Bestlink (http://www.bestlinkeshop.com/). With the same specs as the Skytone.
