Jkk has posted about a story from Aving.net about a forthcoming Samsung netbook. What does Samsung have to offer the bandwagon? Well for starters, the unit looks pretty slick. The bottom of the casing is curved and it appears to be quite thin. As far as I can tell from the translated page, the unit was announced at a WiBro event, so you can expect some WWAN in there (for US consumers that will most likely mean WiMAX through Sprint). The rest should be familiar to most of us by now, 8.9" or 10" screen (probably 1024×600), Atom CPU, built-in webcam, VGA output, 3x USB 2.0, ethernet port and mic in/audio out (from what I can see in the images).
It’ll be up to the quality of the keyboard (which does look nice), and battery life to determine whether a potential customer will pick up this netbook, or go with one of many other choices. According to the story, the Samsung netbook will be launched in late October. Click through to jkkmobile for pictures.

Looks like a very slick laptop. Heres hoping for a 8.9″ with a wxga screen and the option of a 6cell battery.
Btw the Aving.net translation made my head spin :S
