Reading the haikuware article about a Haiku compatible laptop made me think
why not a Haiku netbook similar to what iMica (intel atom nettop) is for
AROS.
These days there are many Chinese factories producing unbranded Intel atom
or the Via c7-m processor. They come with 8.9 , 10 and 12 inch screens.
One of these devices can be branded as a Haiku netbook.
From what I see wifi will be hopefully coming around Christmas these devices
could be sold around that time to raise funds for Haiku. Maybe considered a
special edition device marking the arrival of alpha 2 and wifi.
This is an example of one of these netbooks and the factory that makes them.
Mmh, with a special Christmas Haiku edition claiming wifi spupport, I would wait until there is wifi security included (aka WPA2), at least. Otherwise it could be more of a nice christmas for your neighbourhood and less for you... 
Send me one, I'll test it out for ya ;)


I'll take one, too :)

FWIW, Haiku runs beautifully on my Acer Aspire One AOA150 now - even
the experimental wifi works well (although disabling security on my
router is... fun).
