Coby aren’t the only ones not to be releasing a netbook. HIS, a graphics card manufacturer, was reported to launch their own netbook, featuring a 10.2 inch screen, 1GB of RAM for approximately $400, however HIS have released a press statement stating that they will not be releasing a netbook.

Instead, the netbook was falsely labelled as being manufactured by HIS, who will be taking action against the offending company.

Shenzhen HiVision have been ‘rumbled’ it seems. Engadget managed to grab a few photos of some “dodgy looking” netbooks that the Chinese manufacturer are producing.

According to Engadget, there are  a variety of fake models on offer including a HP Mini Note look-a-like.

Fortunately, these “fakes” aren’t available outside of China right now, where they should sell very well and hopefully that’s how it will stay, if indeed they aren’t the genuine article.
