HP has already said that the Qualcomm Snapdragon-based smartbook running Google Android that it was showing off at CES earlier this month was just a prototype and isn’t ready for prime time yet. But there’s mounting evidence that the company is planning to launch something in the smartbook space. Wireless Goodness spotted an FCC listing […]

FIC Daria SVE00 hits the FCC
Remember that funny looking FIC netbook that we spotted the other day? The one with a lid that’s smaller than the base of the notebook? It looks like it could be headed to the US soon. The FCC has published a series of documents related to the FIC Daria SVE00. I’m still guessing that the […]
Sony Pine Trail netbook visits the FCC
Last week Sony introduced an updated version of its Vaio W netbook line. The new Vaio W Eco Edition will feature Intel Atom N450 processors, GMA 3150 graphics, and eco-friendly features including a plastic case made partially from recycled CDs. This week, a new Sony netbook hit the FCC web site. It’s not clear whether […]
Sharetronic netbooks hit the FCC
The FCC has published several documents related to a new line of mini-laptops from Chinese PC maker Sharetronic. I haven’t really heard of this company before, and somehow I doubt we’ll see any of these models released in the US under the Sharetronic brand name anytime soon. But we could see a US company rebrand […]
Sylvania to sell the Foxconn SZ901P in the US?
Remember that Foxconn netbook that hit the FCC a few days ago? It looks like Sylvania is going to rebrand it and sell it under its name in the US. At least that’s my best guess as to what’s going on based on the fact that there’s a new set of documents on the FCC […]
Acer, Gateway convertible notebooks visit the FCC web site
It looks like Acer is preparing to bring its new 11.6 inch convertible tablet-style notebooks to the US. The FCC has posted documents related to an unnamed Acer laptop that has a touchscreen display that can be swiveled and folded down over the keyboard for use in tablet mode. The pictures show the laptop with […]
Coming soon: Rollable Bluetooth keyboard
Netbook keyboards are generally pretty good these days. Sure, some of the earliest netbooks had tiny keyboards that felt cramped and difficult to use. But most 10 inch netbooks have keyboards that are 90% full sized or larger. But if you’re shooting for 100% (or if you have a devices without a keyboard such as […]
Two more Foxconn netbooks hit the FCC
Hot on the heels of the Foxconn SZ901P, two more models from this Taiwanese OEM have popped up on the FCC web site. There’s not a ton of information about these new models, but we do have a bunch of photos, including some pictures of the computers’ innards. Here’s what we do know. The new […]
Foxconn Linux netbook hits the FCC
Foxconn is a Taiwanese OEM that makes computers that are rebranded and sold under different company monikers. So I don’t expect to see the Foxconn SZ901P hit US shelves anytime soon, at least not under that name. But the FCC has published documents related to a netbook under that name. The one interesting thing about […]
Asus Eee PC T101MT touchscreen tablet smiles for the FCC camera
It’s been almost a year since Asus first showed off a 10 inch Eee PC netbook with a touchscreen display that swivels and folds down over the keyboard for use in tablet mode. But a variation of that netbook has finally made its way to the FCC, which could mean that release is imminent. Wireless […]
