LG have now released their first netbook, the LG X120 in the US today. Like we previously said, the netbook will be available from Radio Shack. It's become clear now, that the netbook will be available from Radio Shack online and selected stores as well as from AT&T stores. No price information for the standalone netbook has been released. The LG X120 can be picked up from AT&T with a data contract. Unfortunately the contract will be more than initially thought. The netbook appears to only be available with the $60 package instead of the $35 package. The contract is for 2 years, which puts the netbook on the pricey side. Hopefully we'll see it available on the $35 per month package soon. Of course, the higher package does give you much more. You get 5GB of data transfer instead of 200mb and you also get access to 20,000 WiFi Hot Spots for no extra cost.

3G-enabled Acer Aspire One only costs $79 through RadioShack

Once a customer has agreed to the two-year service agreement, they can start accessing the web using their Aspire One through AT&T's wireless network.

The offer is available through RadioShack's 4,400 stores starting on the 14th until the 24th.

Like we said before this may seem a pretty good deal if you have no mobile subscription to AT&T yet. But if you are a current subscriber it would be better to get the Acer Aspire One without the mobile bundle since you won't be paying two monthly AT&T subscription.

Radioshack Makes the $99 3G Aspire One Official

If a leaked image of a RadioShack promotional leaflet offering an Acer Aspire One for $99 is true, then Acer Aspire One might be able to score one big hit for being the cheapest netbook so far. The leaked image of the leaflet, which by all means look pretty legit, shows that the $99 dollar Aspire One will be available for AT&T subscribers who will opt for a 2-year AirCard agreement under AT&T, which would cost an AT&T customer $60/month service fee.

This would appeal AT&T customers who are heavy users of their data plans. Although I doubt if existing AT&T subscribers who have a separate service contract to fulfill for their mobile phones would still want additional cost just to get the Aspire One. Getting a contract-free Acer Aspire One which cost $495 is still the best option.

But if you're not into AT&T and would want to score the Acer Aspire One right away for $99, and you wouldn't mind the monthly fee, watch out for official announcement from AT&T or better yet contact your favorite RadioShack outlets to confirm whether this promotional gig is actually true.
