Post Google own-brand netbook coming in 2010

If it were a simple matter of yet another netbook powered by an Intel Atom processor, it would be only moderately interesting – after all, when the OS becomes available anyone will be able to create just such a machine.

However, according to the aforementioned multiple sources, Google may go with a chipset from Nvidia's Tegra line, powered by an ARM CPU.

Apparently, we're told, that makes for a machine that performs considerably better than any Atom and at a lower power consumption.


Interesting...

Honestly... I'm FAR more instested in the Google "Nexus One", apparently it will release for $200 in the US, sim free, which is a great price for a phone more powerful than the HTC Hero which is nearly £370 in the UK sim free currently if it comes this side of the pond

Ditto. A well made Android phone is a very nice gadget indeed.

If they went for a Nano CPU I'd be interested.
