Is Sony Prepping Up a VAIO Netbook?
Dec 2nd
With a hot product such as netbook, it is understable that once a rumor surfaced, expect the whole tech kingdom to feast on it, spin it and of course make a good tech story out of it. Such as the case of a recent sightings of a Sony brand-bearing “netbook” which was spotted at the FCC site.
No less than everybody’s favorite gadget blog, Engadget gave a crack on the leaked photos. According to Engadget the size of the netbook could be in the range of 9.5 x 4.5. This could certainly pass up for a good 10-inch netbook. And the most exciting part is that it bears the Sony branding.
The photo also indicated a blank spot which could be a Windows logo. So, if this netbook is true, we should expect that it will be powered by the Windows XP.
No other details were published yet for the “Sony Netbook” product.

Netbooks Tops Amazon’s Cyber Monday Bestsellers
Dec 2nd
At the close of Cyber Monday over at Amazon, netbooks have topped the Top Ten selling Computers and Hardware products.
At the number 1 spot of the Amazon bestselling laptops during Cyber Monday was the Eee PC 900HA, Asustek’s netbook with 8.9-inch screen, Intel Atom processor, Windows XP OS and black finish. Hot on the trail of the Eee PC 900HA was its closest rival the Acer Aspire One which even managed to snag the top spot from Asus at some point during the day. What the Acer netbook managed to do was to snag both the 2nd and 3rd place in the top ten bestselling laptops’ list.
Aside from the 7 netbooks, 3 of the remaining spots were taken by two Samsung monitors and an Apple MacBook.
Another interesting finding of the Cyber Monday bestselling list of Amazon was the inclusion of OLPC’s XO Laptop which recently made its comeback in Amazon’s store.
Samsung’s recently released NC-10 netbook is also making waves getting two of the spots in the list, one for its blue NC-10 and another for its white version.
The MSI Wind also managed to get into the list with its U100 netbook featuring a 10-inch screen, 6-cell battery and black finish.
