New AT&T Netbook: HP Mini 110

To catch up with the Verizon network which has been establishing partnerships with many netbook vendors to offer subsidized netbooks to its users, AT&T has announced that it would now offer the HP mini 110 with built-in 3G. To get this AT&T netbook, you will need to shell out $119 for a two year plan in which you will have to pay (at least) $35 a month.

This HP Mini 110 will come with 10.1-inch display, Windows 7, WiFi, 160GB HDD and 1GB RAM

For $35/month, you will get 200MB of data transfer. If you surf a lot, you should go for $60/month where you will get upto 5GB bandwidth per month.

Samsung Go now available on AT&T network

Samsung GO netbook is now available with AT&T’s 3G plan. It will come with recently released, Windows 7 and will run its Stater Edition. Standard specs include:

• Intel Atom N270 processor
• Pebble style keyboard
• LED-backlit
• Borderless glass display
• 4-cell battery
• 1.27kg

Samsung claims that its 4-cell battery will last 4 hours on a single charge. We DOUBT that, especially with the Atom N270 CPU. Had they used some Z-series Atom, those figures would have appeared more realistic to us

AT&T adds three more netbooks to their Mobile Broadband netbook bundle

AT&T has added three netbooks: Acer Aspire one, Dell Mini 10 and Lenovo S10 (review) to their mobile broadband netbook bundle. All of these netbooks are available at AT&T’s website.

Each netbook will cost you $199.99 (after using AT&T’s promotion card) and two year contract.

Sprint offering 99-cent netbook with mobile broadband

When the AT&T announced that they will be selling an Acer Aspire One netbook for just $80, we knew that Sprint is not going to sit idle. Sprint is now offering you a netbook for $0.99, which is basically a rebranded HP Mini 1000 netbook under the name of Compaq 1040DX. The only difference from the standard model is the use of EVDO module in the Sprint netbook.

There is catch though. You have enroll yourself under a TWO YEAR CONTRACT that will cost you $60 per month.

ARM netbook coming to AT&T

AT&T is soon going to offer ARM based netbooks running Linux OS. Glen Lurie, President of emerging devices for AT&T says,

“There are a lot of people who will dive in and build netbooks, including folks like cellular or wireless OEMs who never built a computer before. There will be a lot of innovation around what a netbook looks like and what the use cases are, and we will see this evolve very quickly,”

He thinks that the ARM based netbooks would do just fine as people are doing their work via Cloud-based applications and thus do not need a lot of horsepower in their netbooks. He also showed keen interest in the MIDs, which he refers to as “smartphones on steroids.”

AT&T is already selling four subsidized netbooks: Acer Aspire One, Dell Mini 9, Dell Mini 12 and LG X110.

PS: Lurie also manages AT&T’s relationship with Apple to sell the iPhone in the U.S.
