Cheap and tiny netbooks on eBay sport VIA CPUs

If you want a netbook for under AUD 100, check out eBay where you'll find small VIA Arm-based netbooks. This one has a buy now price of 87.99. It's got a 7" screen, 300MHz CPU and 128MB RAM. With those specs I'd probably call it a MID or a smartbook more than a netbook. Youd' have to use this for pretty basic stuff and although it's capable of multitasking, it would be pretty slow at doing it. There's a discussion about it on the whirlpool forums.
