The company in charge of making products under the Korean Averatec brand, Trigem, is gearing up to launch two new "next generation" tablet PCs during the first half of 2010. The two tablets will differ only in screen size, with one having a 7-inch screen and the other, 10-inches. The design, as shown in this mockup, looks very sleek, though it has quite the bezel. And it's being shown as having a front-facing 1.3-megapixel camera, so video conferencing should be a distinct possibility. There is but one problem, though. While the upcoming TG Averatec tablet PCs are being billed as next-gen, they come with a rather outdated operating system: Windows CE. And since I learned Korean on the Internet, I can't quite confirm if the press release states something about Linux compatibility or just mentions it randomly. In any case, pricing for either of the two tablets has not yet been revealed, but as an e-book reader I'm sure this will sell well for under $200. Check out another photo after the break.

Lookie lookie here. Somewhere in Korea TG Sambo has launched a new laptop under it Averatec branding. Make no mistake, there is certainly no doubt in our minds that this is another netbook confused of its identity. It's certainly you usual laptop only sporting a tiny and ultra-light form factor.

Let's see what's this Averatec Lookie is made of inside - Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 250GB HDD, HDMI port, Windows 7 and 6 hours battery life. Looks like a powerful laptop indeed, right?

What's so interesitng about this laptop is its thin form factor at only 0.5cm. It beats the Adamo XPS, one of the thinnest known laptop in town. The Averatec Lookie laptop is lightweight as well at 1.4kg.

There's just one thing that is not light and thin with this laptop, and that's got to be its price - something around $711.

Alright, next please.

Averatec is not among those who really got famous because of their netbook products. In fact, they hardly make it into the mainstead. But this won't stop the company from releasing some more netbooks in the wild.  One of them is the new Averated Buddy HS-102.

Again, nothing to get excited about the HS-102 as it is your standard netbook flavor packing an Intel Atom N270 CPU 1.6GHz, 1GB of RAM, Mobile Intel GMA950 video chipset, 160GB of HDD, WiFi AGN, 1.3MP camera, 10.1-inch LCD wiht LED backlight (1024x600).

One good thing about the Averatec HS-102 is its handsome look and design.  Hopefully it's price will not be as handsome though.

Avertec are to release their newest netbook model sometime in August or September. No specifications as such have been released other than it'll be a 10 inch netbook. Tae Hyun Cho, CEO for Averatec also revealed that the operating system chose is going to be a surprise. Does this hint that it could come installed with Android? While Cho didn't say it was going to be Android, he didn't deny it either. He did say that it would be a "a merger of cell phone and PC technology."

The Android operating system so far seems successful with several big name netbook companies like MSI, Asus and HP, stating they're experimenting with the Android platform. While Skytone are to release a netbook within the next 3 months using Android.
