Commodore joins Netbook crowd

Remember the Commodore 64?

Well they fell off the planet in back in April 1994 when the company filed for bankruptcy.




Well in early in 2005 a Dutch company Yeahronimo Media Ventures bought the rights to the Commodore name, assets and patents, with the express goal of selling gadgets and trading on "not only the brand name but also the heritage of Commodore."


And they just announced at the IFA consumer show in Berlin the Commodore UMMD 8010/F, will sport a 1.6GHz Via C7-M processor and will have an 80GB hard drive, 1GB of RAM, 802.11b/g Wi-Fi, and optional Bluetooth. The machine will have 10-inch display and a 1.3-megapixel camera.

Prices are expected to start at $610.
