Toshiba NB305 netbook poses for press shots, quick hands on
Jan 4th
The new Toshiba NB305 netbook might not differ much from its Pinetrail Atom N450-toting brethren, but it does still have that pizzazz which only a Toshiba netbook has by way of a solid-looking case design and smooth flowing curved edges. Besides Intel’s new Atom processor clocked at 1.66GHz, the Toshiba NB305 boasts 250 GB of storage space, 1 GB of RAM, 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 2.1+EDR. The bundled 6-cell battery is rated to go up to 11 hours before getting drained while the chiclet keyboard and extra-wide trackpad make it even a sweeter deal. How much of a deal exactly? $350. See some more photos of the NB305 at the link below.

Shenzhen HT560 UMPC to run Windows XP with Via’s C7 CPU
Dec 3rd
Like netbooks, there seems to be plenty of UMPCs and MIDs to go around these days. And big-name PC manufacturers aren’t the only ones who contribute. Take this new 5.6-inch UMPC called the Shenzen HT560. Judging by its short list of specs, one can’t be faulted for thinking of it as ancient.
It’s got a 1GHz Via C7 CPU, 1GB of RAM, a 16GB SSD, two USB 2.0 ports, an on-board 1.3MP camera, and its screen has a resolution of 800×480. It comes with a slew of wireless connectivity options including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GPS which will make it come off as modern, but it uses an ancient OS by comparison–Windows XP.
This will probably be quite wallet-friendly considering what you’re going to get, but it doesn’t look like it’ll be easy to get one outside of China. To make matters worse, a minimum order of 10 is required for every purchase. Oh well.
