Seems like Asus has prepped a little something to go against Acer’s Aspire Revo nettop shortly after it comes out in May. According to info posted on Blogeee, Asus will release an Asus EeeBOX B208 nettop with Intel’s Atom 330 chip and ATI Radeon HD 4350 with 256MB video RAM come June of this year. Official pricing has not yet been revealed. Also part of the Asus EeeBOX B208’s specs are the following: 1GB RAM, 160GB HDD with 10GB Eee Storage, 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi, built-in card reader, 4 USB ports, HDMI out, DVI-D port, built-in battery with UPS function, Bluetooth connectivity and 1kg weight. I’m not too sure about this being a pure desktop replacement, but for space-saving it will certainly be useful, and will definitely go nicely with any Asus netbook you may already have.

Besides Samsung, there is another famous cellphone-making company dabbling in netbooks. That, of course, is LG, and its latest model–the LG X120–is said to be on schedule for a release in the Japanese before the end of the month, followed by a wider release in April. All things considered, the LG X120 doesn’t really differ much from netbooks in its category. It’s got a standard 10-inch screen, 1.6GHz Intel Atom processor, 160GB hard drive, 1GB RAM, Wi-Fi and either a 3-cell or 6-cell battery. It does sport an inbuilt HSPA modem, though, so it would be a great choice for mobile computing enthusiasts who are fond of doing work on the go.

Are you one of the many Americans waiting for the official arrival of UMID’s M1 MID in local stores? Well, I have good news and bad news. The good news is, the M1 definitely is coming to the U.S. in the future. The bad news is, it’s not going to happen right away. This is according to information gathered by Pocketables, who say UMID’s plans for a U.S. release for the M1 MID are still underway, however, a version of the said device that’s compatible with U.S. 3G networks still isn’t ready yet. It could come in the next few months, or it could come next year. Bottom line is, you’re gonna have to wait awhile if you’re in the U.S. and want to get yourself a UMID M1. And that’s the truth.
