Firstview Presents $65 Low Cost Nike PC706V SmartBook

Firstview HK Electronic Limited has come up with a SmartBook that will only cost $65 to manufacture, dubbed the Nike PC706V. While we’re not sure whether a certain sports company will see red over the name, we do know that it is powered by Google’s Android 1.6, but has the potential to be upgraded to the latest Android 2.1. Depending on the configuration, the device could cost between $65 to $200, but its low entry cost should help kickstart the SmartBook market. Specifications of the Nike PC706V include:

• 7-inch 800 x 480 display
• VIA 8505 ARM 9 processor clocked at 533MHz
• 128MB RAM
