Welcome to this week’s netbook roundup. In this space every Monday I’ll highlight netbook news items that might not need their own individual posts but may still be interesting.
- Dell Mini 10 Unboxed, Compared to HP Mini 1000 A nice unboxing of the Dell Mini 10 [Portal page], and comparison to the HP Mini 1000. I still haven’t gotten my hands on a Mini 10 so this video was quite appetizing.
- Gigabyte Promotional Videos for Upcoming Netbooks Liliputing points out three videos released by Gigabyte on YouTube which promote their upcoming netbooks.
- Rumor: Verizon and HP Readying Subsidized Netbooks Cheap netbooks due to subsidizes from cell phone carriers are fairly common outside the US, but it seems like HP might be teaming up with Verizon to offer a discount on a netbook if the consumer wants to start a Verizon contract. If this comes to fruition, we’ll probably see a USB WWAN card offered with the netbook, but I think most of us are hoping for a more elegant internal solution.
- How to: Touch to Eee PC 1000HE Jkk points us to a video tutorial that shows you how to add a touchscreen to the Eee PC 1000HE [Portal page].
- Asus Eee PC T101H at CeBIT 2009 A late CeBIT video from Jkk. Jkk gives us the run down on the tablet-netbook, Eee PC T101H [Portal page].
