Hope all these HD improvements come soon, need an excuse to buy another netbook!

Apple planning affordable Apple Macbook in time for Christmas

Now i don’t expect this to be a netbook nor cheap by any definition of the word but i would like the price to come down close to sensible.

Also can’t wait for the iMac’s to get an update!

Nokia Booklet 3G Netbook

Nokia Booklet 3G Glad that Nokia is finally entering this market. It looks like a Nokia, the design follows the current Nokia aesthetics. They have also avoided going in at a base level and the specs make for impressive reading, with comms being handled by bluetooth, N flavour Wi-Fi, 3G, HSDPA, and entertainment covered with HD ready screen and HDMI out.

This amuses me that Sony have finally joined the “race to the bottom”. I have to say in the photos it looks fairly attractive and in keeping with the Vaio brand, i think its a masterclass in creative photography angles though, it is awful looking in the video promos.

There are some classic quotes in that artcle which it is worth reading for. All refer to Sony’s approch and pricing. Speaking if which i cant wait to see the damage - some are saying £320, I’m guessing £400+ in UK

ECS T800 netbook brings us to our knees , with its incredible design.

That is a sexy piece of product design, this is how the vaio-p should have turned out. Im still not sold of viewing my content through these letterbox widescreen displays but it make for a very slender form factor.
