You can do the same with Windows XP in suspend to RAM mode, or with any other OS that properly supports the ACPI of the device for that matter. The key difference here is that the ARM-based platform of the Netwalker could easilly be kept for days in suspend to RAM mode without any big lose of battery life, while on current Atom platforms you'll see a noticeable drain. This should change with the next generation of the Atom platform, with a much lesser battery drain when the device is not actually used.

From the reviews for the previous models of Kohjinsha, it seems that ubuntu do not have the wifi driver. On UMID, even no one succeed installing Ubuntu! I like using ubuntu (quicker response that Windows) and the swivel screen... I wonder if I can install ubuntu on this device and have 3 sec. boot up from suspend like netwalker.

True. But the CPU should be quite a bit faster on this. The slow application start-up times would indicate that. True. But the CPU should be quite a bit faster on this.
