Netbooks that run a flavour of Linux are commonplace - though most run Ubuntu or Xandros, or something designed for computers. Check out this video though of a new netbook that will apparently run Google's Android operating system - which is a different type of Linux usually found on phones like the G1.
It'll be interesting to see if it makes it to market, and how Android scales up to coping with a bigger screen and keyboard.Netbooks that run a flavour of Linux are commonplace - though most run Ubuntu or... more

Microsoft appears to have decided that any netbook with more than 10.2-inch screen isn't really a netbook at all, and should pay more for a copy of Windows 7. This is Redmond's version of the question facing the hardware companies themselves: How to maximize netbook sales without cannibalizing sales of laptops.
Answer: You can't, though Microsoft's pricing could force up prices on new, larger-screen netbooks. It could also land the company back in court.
The net is rife with rumors that Microsoft will establish a "maximum specification" after which netbooks will pay more for a copy of Windows 7. All of these trackback to a site called TechArp, which claims to have access to the new specs. Microsoft itself isn't talking, though the specs look legit.Microsoft appears to have decided that any netbook with more than 10.2-inch screen... more

Lenovo has just introduced a new netbook with a 12-inch display that will also be the first netbook device to include Nvidia’ s new graphics platform Ion, 100 percent full-size keyboard, weigh about 3 pounds, run on Intel’s Atom processor, include up to 160 GB of storage and 1 GB of memory.
“Most 10-inch netbook models only have 89 percent sized keyboard in them and we have seen users complain about the keyboard size,” says Charles Farmer, consumer products marketing manager for Lenovo. “The 12-inch netbook gives users a more comfortable experience.”

I rarely get impressed when I see random demonstrations of products, however, when I saw this new Kbox today, I thought it was pretty cool. It has a rubbery kind of base and there is some sort of gel audio technology inside it. It basically makes your iphone or laptop sound a million times better. You just plug it in, set it on a table or the floor or desk, whatever, and then it takes that space and turns it into a speaker and there is pretty cool bass coming from it.
I think it's a great gadget for people who listen to music on their computers or phones and want something small that they can put in their pocket or bag when they travel mainly. I listen with my headphones a lot and sometimes it gives me a headache, but, I can't stand the sound that comes out of a phone or my laptop. I hate that sound. So, using the kbox is very appealing to me. I also liked that the price is affordable. It was £39.99. So, I bought one today and I'm pretty happy with it. I need to see if it really has 20 hours of battery life, but, I guess they couldn't put that on the package if it didn't. So, anyway, there is also a website where you can find it in case you don't see it being demo'd out at your local mall. http://www.kerchoonz.com/kboxI rarely get impressed when I see random demonstrations of products, however, when I... more

Is Apple's rumored "mediapad" entertainment device a threat to Amazon's Kindle e-book reader? I think it is, but the only people who may care are current Kindle owners, some of whom may end up wishing they had waited on their purchase.
As I have said before: The Kindle in kindling.
It is always nice when the industry rumor mill starts validating what I have been saying, namely, that rumors of a ready-to-release Apple netbook actually refer to a supersized iPod touch.
Described as having a larger touch-screen than the Kindle's 6-inch display, while being physically smaller than the Amazon device, Apple's baby has been dubbed a "mediapad."Is Apple's rumored "mediapad" entertainment device a threat to... more

And now, a little visit to the "Why not?" department: NVIDIA is showing off an HP Mini 1000 at CTIA that it has totally gutted, replacing the laptop's stock Atom-based circuitry with its own Tegra wares atop a bone-stock Windows CE build.
At first the move seems counterproductive since Tegra can't run XP or Vista, but if you look at this as the first prototype of a large Tegra-powered $99 MID, you're thinking along the right lines. The concept isn't indicative of any sort of partnership between NVIDIA and HP, but the chipmaker is looking at this as an opportunity to demonstrate to manufacturers how easy it is to make a device like this -- and like other Tegra devices we've seen, this thing could easily have HDMI, run fluid 3D graphics, and generally make the world a better place at a stupid cheap price.
We were also shown a Tegra single-board computer measuring no larger than a single small-outline DIMM like you'd find in a modern laptop, proof that this action can be scaled way down depending on the kinds of devices manufacturers are looking to make.

Will the cellular service business model work for laptop computers? AT&T seems to think so. The wireless provider is offering subsidized netbooks for as little as $49.99 in two markets, Atlanta and Philadelphia. The catch is that buyers must sign a two-year contract for an AT&T data service plan, which starts at about $60/month. As usual, the devil is in the details, and these low-cost netbooks, despite their tempting price, may not be a good buy for everyone?
AT&T says the offer is "promotional," which suggests it may boost hardware prices or even drop netbook sales altogether if experiment doesn't work out. And since it's launching the plan in just two markets, the company seems to be testing the waters here. The move makes sense, though; subsidized netbooks provide a low cost of entry for consumers, and they draw new users to the vendors' expanding high-speed networks.
What does $49.99 get you? An Acer Aspire One with an 8.9-inch display, 1GB of memory, and a 160GB hard drive. A quality netbook, certainly, but the catch is that you have to sign a two-year deal for AT&T's Internet at Home & On the Go service, which starts at $59.95 a month. My gripe with this plan is that its home service is DSL at a poky 768Kbps. Besides, if my netbook has built-it 3G mobile broadband, why should I bother with DSL at all?
The package also includes 3G wireless, but the monthly data limit is just 200MB -- fine for occasional remote access, but not enough for full-time use. Need more 3G? You can upgrade to a two-year DataConnect plan, which ups the monthly data cap to a healthy 5GB. Ah, but doing so doubles the Aspire One's price to $99.99. (Each plan also includes wireless access at AT&T's thousands of Wi-Fi hotspots.)Will the cellular service business model work for laptop computers? AT&T seems to... more

Interesting developments in the Apple Netbook rumor saga from Silicon Alley Insider:
More support that Apple is working on what we've been calling the "iPod touch HD" -- a touchscreen, portable Internet device that's bigger than the iPhone: "Taiwan-based Wintek will supply touch panels for Apple's new netbook, and shipments will start in the third quarter this year," DigiTimes reports, citing the Chinese-language Commercial Times. DigiTimes also says that Quanta Computer will manufacture the new device.
While the DigiTimes report is not a smoking gun, it makes sense that Apple would be working on something between the iPhone/iPod touch and its Mac lineup. The netbook market -- small, relatively inexpensive PCs -- is exploding. And Apple's multi-touch gadget platform has been a big hit. So a marriage of the two makes sense.
While the report refers to Apple's gadget as a "netbook," we don't think Apple will make a device that looks like the miniature laptops that PC makers like Asus and Acer are selling. Apple executives have slammed those devices as cramped and useless, and they have a point. Rather, we think Apple (AAPL) will take advantage of its expertise in multi-touch screens and virtual keyboards to make a device that's about four times the size of an iPod touch, selling for around $600 to $700.Interesting developments in the Apple Netbook rumor saga from Silicon Alley Insider:... more

What makes netbooks vulnerable is that many are not equipped with standard security software.Netbook Web surfers beware. That low-cost netbook you’re using could be a... more
