Words on the street (and we mean Electronista) are saying that Averatec is set to bring its Buddy Netbook to US shore soon. In fact, it has already launched the said netbook, although it is still not showing on Averatec’s online store.

If you would recall, Averatec’s Buddy Netbook went on sale in Korea earlier this month. Dubbed Buddy HS-103, said netbook was selling for around $588. It comes with the usual netbook standard Atom processor, Windows XP, 1GB of RAM, 10.2-inch AveraBrite LCD plus other features which we usually see in other netbooks.

During it’s launch in the Korean market, Averatec’s Buddy Netbook was packed with an 80GB HDD. But for its American version, Averatec has increased the HDD capacity into a whooping 160GB. Now here’s the best part, the Buddy Netbook’s SRP was brought down to $450. Possibly because Averatec realized that the original price in Korea was way too high from the netbook’s competitors.

Now words yet on when the Buddy netbook will be released though.

“Lately the market has been witnessing rapid growth in popularity of various MID devices and Netbook computers. For the most part these devices work on the Linux operating system, which offers several specialized variations of itself that are geared for such devices.”

This project consists of creating several totally open (meaning accessible to both computer user enthusiasts as well as computer manufacturers) and operable builds based on Windows© Embedded CE 6.0 that will work on several popular platforms. We are starting with the following devices: Aspire One, Lenovo IdeaPad 9.

All system components, device drivers, operating system shell, and additional applications (excluding those contained in the Windows© Embedded CE Platform Builder) are accessible in the form of source code with licenses permitting their free usage, modification and distribution of derivative versions.

(there was talk of this on our message forums a while ago, as Microsoft already has a offical Windows CE version that you can download now)
