Asus Eee PC S101H launching in Europe – Too Late?
Undoubtedly, no one can deceive Asus Eee PC S101H in terms of looks and it is one of the best looking netbooks on the market so far.

It’s pretty costly at €399 and comes with a 160GB hard drive and packs a 1.66GHz Atom N280 on a 667MHz bus. It costs as much as Acer’s 11.6-inch Aspire One 751.

Thinkpad netbook in the tunnel?
Lenovo’s senior exec has revealed that the company is looking forward to release a netbook under the Thinkpad brandname. Due to the recent introduction of netbooks sporting high price tags, IBM thinks that the lines between netbooks and notebooks are blurring at a very fast rate.
However, Lenovo has clearly indicated that the Thinkpad netbook will not have specs of a conventional netbook. According to them, if you want ‘full functionality’, you will have to go for Core or Celeron mobile processor. The Thinkpad netbook will be designed to cater to the needs of those who yearn for something that is more powerful than the conventional netbook but has the same size and feel.
The Thinkpad brand is a brand that is widely popular among businessmen and if Lenovo releases something under that brand, it will be of premium quality for sure.
OQO cancels all preorders for MODEL 2+
First we saw the disappearance of the OQO models from the expansys store and now we get the news that OQO has canceled all the preorders for the model 2+. This further makes us think one think: Is OQO on the brink of getting bankrupt?

I am personally not at all surprised due to the fact they were NOT able to offer satisfactory service to the customers in US or anywhere around the world. See this POST for more information about the extremely poor OQO customer support.
