Rumors of a subsidized 3G-enabled 10-inch Acer Aspire One going on sale through Costco have been floating around weeks ago. Now, we have even more evidence in support of these rumors. By way of leaked internal documents, it has been revealed that Costco employees are currently being trained for an upcoming launch and the reportedly, D-Day will be on May 11th. That is, when the 10-inch netbook will finally be available, not only on Costco’s kiosks, but also on AT&T’s stores. There’s no word yet on a final price, but it shouldn’t be too far from how much the subsidized 3G-enabled 9-inch model is selling these days, which isn’t much, if you don’t count the obligatory 2-year contract.

The recently announced MSI Wind U115 Hybrid netbook has already seen a release in China with a UK launch to follow in May. The netbook has also been released to the lucky folks in France and ranges in price from 549 to 559 Euros ($711-$724). Material.net is the most expensive to order the U115 from, with it priced at 559 Euros. At Rue du Commerce you can pick the netbook up for 554 Euros. But the cheapest site to purchase from currently, is Topachat who are selling the hybrid MSI Wind netbook for 549.90 Euros.

All three sites have the netbook in stock and available for shipping. The UK won’t see the release until May and the US is still to receive a release date.

Yet another company has delved into the netbook market and this time it’s UK manufacturer The Stone Group. The Stone Group will launch their Stone Neo 101 from the start of May in the UK for around £316 including VAT.

The Stone Neo 101 comes with the specs you’d find on most netbooks for that price including 160GB hard drive, 1GB of RAM, Intel Atom processor and a 10.1 inch display. It will also feature a 1.3 megapixel web camera, WiFi, option of adding 3G support and a 4 cell battery. Unlike other netbooks on the market though, the Neo 101 comes with a 3 year warranty, making it cheaper than many other netbooks with extended warranties.
