HiVision are producing three new netbooks to add to it’s 7 inch model. Their 7 inch netbook was reported to be a cheap “sub $100″  buy at $98 but, Brad from Liliputing managed to meet with the netbook company at CES 09 and he reports that in actual fact the netbook should cost more than that for regular consumers on release, more like around $150. The $98 price tag is for bulk buyers apparently. There is no pricing information available for the new netbook range.

Specs for the three newly announced models – an 8 inch, an 8.9 inch and an 10.2 inch – are below, also courtesy of Liliputing, where there are also more images of the new range from HiVision:
