Netbooks have taken off over the last 18 months or so which is due to their small size and good usability. HTC mentioned recently that they want to be part of this when Peter Chou mentioned the are… “carefully looking into that category and how it can be part of that”. What HTC are not doing is becoming another me-too though by just creating another Netbook. What HTC want to do is something unique that makes their netbook range stand-out from the others.
No dates of release are known yet and it is also unknown exactly what they are working on although I’d say we can expect some good power, storage, a decent touchscreen for perhaps a HTC tablet. [click to continue…]
