Samsung N150 adds new colors with a catch23:52 12/02/2010, Chris Guthrie, Netbook news, Samsung n150, Netbook Reviews
Samsung just updated the N150 with 3 new colors including: Caribbean Yellow, Bermuda Blue and Flamingo Pink. Normally new colors don't offer a catch, but sadly in this case they do in the form of a $10 price increase.
My opinion? Stick with Blue, Black, Red or Black Matte and save $10.

Jolicloud updates compatibility with Pinetrail Netbooks21:40 12/02/2010, Chris Guthrie, jolicloud, Netbook news, Netbook Reviews
I met up with a couple members of the Jolicloud team while I was at CES and one of the follow up questions I asked them after the event was, "When will we see support for the new Netbooks using Intel Atom Pinetrail processors?" They told me 'soon' and sure enough a few weeks later the update is now live. For those of you that haven't tested out the Jolicloud OS yet I suggest you give it a go. For those of you not rocking a brand new Netbook using Pinetrail be sure to check out the compatibility chart first to make sure your Netbook will work with Jolicloud before you get too excited (odds are it will).
I'm interested in seeing how many people are using the Jolicloud OS on their Netbook so feel free to respond to the poll posted below:
Note: There is a poll embedded within this post, please visit the site to participate in this post's poll.
If you're already using Jolicloud on your Netbook simply go to 'My Jolicloud' and click the 'Update All' button and then reboot your machine.
Here you can find cheap Netbooks for under $300 using the new Intel Atom N450 Pinetrail processor. Or just be on the lookout for any Netbook deals posts I share. I usually write them late Friday or early Saturday.

NVIDIA ION 2 will benefit Netbooks too21:17 12/02/2010, Chris Guthrie, Netbook news, NVIDIA ION 2, Netbook Reviews
Nvidia is releasing a follow up to NVIDIA ION with Nvidia Optimus Technology built in. The major upgrade here being switchable graphics that are done on the fly. The benefit of this is that now you can play Crysis and watch HD Flash video like before, but when you're back to just composing emails and updating Facebook your battery life will be greatly improved. This is because the technology built in will be able to determine if the graphics can be rendered via the integrated GPU or if it will need to rely on the discrete Ion GPU.
At first this announcement didn't mention anything about Nvidia Optimus Technology coming to Netbooks so I ignored it, but I just read another official update from Nvidia announcing the technology is now making it's way to Netbooks as well. Hooray!

Samsung NB3017:45 12/02/2010, M@, news, Samsung, New Netbook Reviews
The Samsung NB30 is Samsung’s new Netbook featuring the N450 processor. What makes this Netbook different from all the rest is that it’s durable, and we mean really durable. You’ll notice the rubberized coating on the lid which will help resist cracks, dings (and fingerprints) and the hard drive has a drop sensor which parks the heads so that it can withstand falls of up to 30″.
Another interesting item to note is that the keyboard can withstand spills of up to 50cc of liquid on the keyboard (a glass of water). So if you have a problem with dropping your Netbook 3 feet or so and like to spill coffee on the keyboard while you’re typing the NB30 is what you need. Here are the full specs:
Processor: 1.66GHz Intel Atom N450
Intel GMA 3150 graphics
Display: 10.1″ 1024 x 600
Memory: 1GB (up to 2)
HD: 160GB
3 x usb
VGA out
802.11 b/g/n wifi
Windows 7 starter
6 cell battery (6-7 hours)
Here’s a few action shots:
The price of $379 is pretty reasonable considering the extras, and it’s still on pre-order from Amazon but should start shipping shortly.

Netbook Review: Nokia Booklet 3G Review03:41 11/02/2010, makyol, 1366x768 Netbooks, booklet 3g, booklet 3g Netbook, Netbook reviews, nokia, nokia booklet 3g, nokia booklet 3g Netbook, nokia booklet 3g Netbook review, nokia booklet 3g review, My Netbook World
Cellphone manufacturer Nokia is rising into the Netbook market with its freshly declared Booklet 3G Netbook, offering a premium-feeling system for a reduced price, as long as you agree to a two-year AT&T mobile data undertake.
The Booklet 3G is easily among the most upscale-looking Netbooks we have seen. It experiences solid and well-built in your hands, without being too heavy. Also a good sign: the AT&T mobile broadband service connects automatically, and the process was wonderfully transparent, particularly compared with the software setup and manual log-ins required by other mobile broadband laptops. On the down side, the slower Intel Atom Z530 CPU shaves just enough performance off of the already pokey Netbook experience to be frustrating.
With a two-year AT&T contract, the Booklet 3G costs $299, and its excellent design and build quality puts it miles ahead of other $299 Netbooks. However keep in mind that you’re then tied to a monthly fee–usually around $60–for data. The Booklet is also available sans contract for $599, however that’s both largely pointless and way overpriced.
The Booklet 3G is easily one of the most upscale-looking Netbooks we’ve seen. It experiences solid and well-built in your hands, without being too heavy. The screen hinge in particular experiences pleasingly tight, while the slightly too thick keyboard tray has zero flex even when pressing down firmly on the keyboard. While color options (for the back of the lid) include black, white, and blue, our black test unit’s lid seemed particularly smudge-prone.
Different than the gently tapered sides of many other Netbooks, designed to create the illusion of slimness, the Booklet has sharp, angled edges. True to the name, there is a booklike squareness to it. The inside is devoid of quick launch or shortcut keys, and even the power button is relegated to the right side edge, next to a tiny hatch covering SD and SIM card slots.
Unfortunately, the keyboard itself is cramped, with tiny keys that are hard to hit accurately. Conceiving the strides other Netbooks have made with creating very usable keyboards, it was a letdown. The touch pad is large and easy to use, even though we’d to crank up the pointer speed in the Windows 7 options.
The 10.1-inch display has the higher 1,366×768-pixel resolution found on many high-end Netbooks, and a single sheet of glass covers the screen and much of the screen bezel, however there’s still a separate outer lip, so it is not what we call edge-to-edge.
Besides the AT&T mobile broadband (which makes use of a built-in SIM card slot), the option to manually join local Wi-Fi networks is also available. Our review unit lacked the last versions of the Nokia and Ovi networking and connectivity software, however we did fine with Windows 7’s built-in versions.
Despite an excellent design and well-integrated mobile broadband, the Booklet 3G hits a rough patch as an actual Netbook. Using the slower Z530 version of Intel’s Atom CPU (instead of the more common N270 or N280 versions) means that performance was generally sluggish, particularly with only 1GB of RAM and a slower 4,200rpm hard drive.
Opening windows and navigating around the Windows 7 environment led to some stuttering and slowdown. Even something as simple as running multiple Web browser windows and a Microsoft Office doc at the same time slowed the system much in our anecdotal hands-on testing. In our benchmark tests, scores were behind Netbooks with the faster N270 and N280 Atom processors in most of our tests. It is a shame because a zippier Booklet 3G would be hard to beat as one of our favorite Netbooks.
The Nokia Booklet 3G ran for 7 hours and 14 minutes on our video playback battery life drain test, using the included 16-cell battery life (however the real Wh rating is closer to a typical 6-cell battery life). That’s among the best scores we’ve seen, even from systems with gigantic extended batteries, so it is particularly impressive that the Booklet managed to do it without a battery life that looks like a big kickstand or carrying handle.

Notion Ink Adam tablet pc00:05 11/02/2010, M@, news, New Netbook Reviews
The Notion Ink Adam tablet pc was announced at CES, and has created alot of buzz since then. Here’s a mockup of what the Adam might look like running the Rainmeter cms:
Here’s what we do know, it runs on Google’s Android OS and uses the Nvidia Tegra (2?)chipset. It also features Pixel Qi’s innovative low power display for longer battery life.
Will it be an iPad killer? The comparisons say “yes”; with the Pixel Qi display and Nvidia Tegra chipset the Notion Adam tablet will last 2x to 3x as long as the iPad with the same battery. Also the Tegra allows for HD video out, compared to the iPad’s 480p component out.
It will be very interesting to see the final price and release date for this one, and what it can do in real life testing.
Here’s a hands on:

Asus to reveal “killer product” in June20:23 10/02/2010, M@, news, nvidia tegra 2, New Netbook Reviews
It looks like our earlier info leak back in January was correct because Asus Chairman Jonney Shih has just said that the company is preparing a “killer product” to launch in June, probably during the Computex show in Taiwan. He doesn’t give any more details but the rumor is it’s their tablet device (the Eee Pad) that is will sport the Nvidia Tegra 2 chipset and possibly run on the Google Android OS.
The Eee Pad was first spotted at CES 2010 although no specs were detailed. It was simply referred to as the “Asus Tablet Concept” along with a placeholder saying that it is powered by a Nvidia Tegra chip. The news came as Asus announced it will be spinning off its Pegatron manufacturing arm. The device is said to be manufactured by Pegatron and be launched at a sub-$500 price point. If true, the Apple iPad may have even more competition in the second half of this year.
Here’s a look at the tablet at CES:

It looks like our earlier info leak back in January was correct because Asus Chairman Jonney Shih has just said that the company is preparing a “killer product” to launch in June, probably during the Computex show in Taiwan. He doesn’t give any more details but the rumor is it’s their tablet device (the Eee Pad) that is will sport the Nvidia Tegra 2 chipset and possibly run on the Google Android OS.
The Eee Pad was first spotted at CES 2010 although no specs were detailed. It was simply referred to as the “Asus Tablet Concept” along with a placeholder saying that it is powered by a Nvidia Tegra chip. The news came as Asus announced it will be spinning off its Pegatron manufacturing arm. The device is said to be manufactured by Pegatron and be launched at a sub-$500 price point. If true, the Apple iPad may have even more competition in the second half of this year.
