Words on the street (and we mean Electronista) are saying that Averatec is set to bring its Buddy Netbook to US shore soon. In fact, it has already launched the said netbook, although it is still not showing on Averatec’s online store.

If you would recall, Averatec’s Buddy Netbook went on sale in Korea earlier this month. Dubbed Buddy HS-103, said netbook was selling for around $588. It comes with the usual netbook standard Atom processor, Windows XP, 1GB of RAM, 10.2-inch AveraBrite LCD plus other features which we usually see in other netbooks.

During it’s launch in the Korean market, Averatec’s Buddy Netbook was packed with an 80GB HDD. But for its American version, Averatec has increased the HDD capacity into a whooping 160GB. Now here’s the best part, the Buddy Netbook’s SRP was brought down to $450. Possibly because Averatec realized that the original price in Korea was way too high from the netbook’s competitors.

Now words yet on when the Buddy netbook will be released though.
