The title says it all. Reuters writes:
Taiwan's BenQ, the branded unit of Qisda Corp, joined PC rivals to introduce smaller, low-cost notebooks carrying its own name on Thursday, and it aimed to grab a 5 percent share of the new market within two years.
Later Reuters has an interesting perspective on the future of the Netbook market:
Earlier this month, Acer, the world's No. 3 PC vendor, said it expects the global netbook market to reach 50 million units in 2009, and it aims to take 30 percent of that market by selling 15 million units of its own mini PCs. "For our new products, we hope we can have about five percent market share in one to two years," BenQ Corp Chief Executive Officer and President Conway Lee told reporters at a news conference, where BenQ displayed its "Joybook Lite" netbooks.
Lee did not give sales and shipment forecasts of its Joybook Lite PC, weighing about 1 kilo, and which has a 10-inch LED-backlit display and a sleek outer shell to attract design-conscious customers.

I have the Netbook Asus 1000HD and it works very well. I think most netbooks are the same. You don't use them for hours on end, just a few minutes at a time for e-mail and internet!
