Pocket-lint received a confirmation from Nvidia regarding the release of its netbook powered by the new Tegra chip. If everything goes as plan, we might be looking at a sub-$200 netbook soon. In fact, the release date was even already confirmed – “Black Friday” in the U.S.

For those not in the loop, like me who only learn about this information, the Tegra chip are currently present in Microsoft’s Zune HD. As such the said netbook would have full support for HD video as well as Flash technology.

Although no final specs are available yet, this is rather not that important if you don’t put your expectations too high. And besides what power can you possibly ask for a netbook that would cost you only $199?

Nonetheless, a prototype is already available for the said netbook. And such protype features an 8.9-inch screen, Wi-Fi, 3G, and webcam. It is currently runnin gon Microsoft’s CE OS. Interestingly, Nvidia also mention that the final product could be loaded with the Google Android OS instead.
