Here’s something you don’t see everyday. We like it. Samsung has launched the ND10 netbook and is allowing you to purchase it OS free. By being free and unshackled of any OS, it allows the buyer to choose what ever OS they want to install, whether it’s XP, Android or Linux.

The ND10 is pretty similar to the NC10 in specs and sports a 10.2 inch screen, an Intel Atom N270 processor and over seven hours of battery life. They are pretty much the same, with you saving $50 by installing your own OS.

This beautiful item is the kind of thing that separates the real nerds from the pretenders. The NES controller netbook cover is for true nerds only.

What’s not to love? It looks just like the classic controller, is soft to the touch and keeps your netbook nice and cozy. It’s made of felt, so don’t be afraid to caress and gently stroke it my dork friend.

Sony is all set to introduce its Vaio P WiMAX edition sometime later this month. July 30th in fact. The notbook will boast an integrated 4G mobile broadband modem to help keep you connected no matter where you are.

Pre-orders should begin from July 27th onwards, so you might as well start saving up. Holy Jesus, look at the veins in that guys hand. He’s gonna kill that Vaio P and possibly turn into the Hulk. Looks like you have four colors to choose from, including Hulk green which this dude should be packing.

According to TechRadar there will be a “range” of Vaio Ps coming later this year. The original line just got a minor spec boost that makes the Vaio P as fast as normal netbooks. At this time we don’t have details on what the new machines will have as far as specs.

The news was out when a Sony rep informed TechRadar at a recent launch event for its new Vaio NW laptop and Vaio W netbook that, while overall sales of the ultraportable P Series hadn’t gone through the roof, they were still selling a significant amount to certain niche markets.

Always Innovating has something very interesting with its Touch Book tablet, a touchscreen device with a detachable keyboard, embedded Linux OS and a low $300 price tag. The company has published photos of a production device on their page.

Along with the photos, comes this announcement: “We intend to start shipping the Touch Book next month, in July 2009. Our first batch of Touch Books is already in production.” Pre-orders are still open for $300 ($400 with keyboard). Specs below.

Gateway’s latest Timeline netbook is now available for purchase. The netbook is powered by a 1.2GHz Athlon 64 L110 processor with an integrated ATI Radeon X1270 graphics card, a WXGA resolution display, a 2GB RAM and a 250GB HDD.

Some other features include a memory card reader, Wi-Fi 802.11b/g connectivity, integrated webcam, three USB 2.0 ports and a 6-cell Li-ion battery. You can get it in two colors, NightSky Black and Cherry Red. The Gateway Timeline LT3100 will cost you $400 and up, depending on the specs you choose.

We told you about this one earlier this month. It’s Toshiba’s first netbook. And it looks like it’s ready to take its rightful place in your hands. Toshiba’s new NB205 netbook does a good job of standing out from the crowd with nice specs at the right price.

You have a few options to consider, There’s a low end black model with a standard keyboard and cheaper materials for $349. Then there’s the $399 model available in four different colors, which also features a higher quality chassis and a chiclet-style keyboard. Each sports an Atom N280 processor, 1GB of RAM, a 160GB hard drive, a 10.1-inch LED-backlit display, and a standard six-cell battery that promises nine hours of use.

Fujitsu Japan has launched an updated version of its LOOX M netbook. The latest is powered by an Intel Atom N280 processor running at 1.66 Ghz. You’ll get a 10.1 inch screen with a resolution of 1024 x 600 pixels and the battery that offers 2.7 to 5 hours of use.

Some other features include 1GB of RAM, Intel 945GSE Express chip set, 160GB hard drive, webcam, multi card reader and Bluetooth. It is available in Japan in four flavors: white, red, black and lavender for 59,800 Yen or $660.

Looks like the Sony VAIO P is learning some new tricks. These new processor and drive upgrades will have the Tiny PC taring up benchmarks at twice the speed of the original. Most of that improved speed comes from the SSD drive, but the Atom Z550 sure doesn’t hurt.

Over in Japan they are getting a WiMAX version, which doesn’t mean crap to us since most of the US doesn’t have WiMax coverage. As usual, Japan is always beating us.

With the IdeaPad S12, Lenovo is first to offer a netbook based on Nvidia’s Ion chipset. So far, we like what we see. The 12-inch netbook will give you the whole HD, game-playing thing for about $500. Nividia’s Ion is basically Intel’s Atom processor combined with the Nvidia 9400m graphics unit.

The resulting performance offers smooth 1080p video, accelerated h.264 playback, Blu-ray playback and moderate gaming capabilities. When it’s in a netbook, you get a midrange, 12-inch netbook with a multimedia slant.

Onkyo just released their latest netbook in Japan. It’s the Atom-powered DC204A3 and it comes with all the usual suspects like an Intel 945GSE Express chipset, 1GB RAM, a 10.1” LCD display at 1,024 x 600 resolution, integrated Wi-Fi, built-in web cam for video calls, D-SUB and Ethernet.

No hard drives here. Instead, you’ll get a 32GB SSD. No NVIDIA Ion either. What are ya gonna do? Prices start at €380 and go up from there.

There isn’t a whole lot of information on Albatron’s upcoming netbook, but one thing is certain judging from the first live photo. It’s surprisingly thin, much like the MacBook Air, which makes it a tempting choice already.

We do know that this Albatron netbook will come with a 10.2″ display and has a lightweight design that weighs under 1kg, with audio in/out ports and a memory card reader. We should be getting more pics and possibly a video soon.

Well here’s something you don’t see everyday. The iUnika GYY is an environmentally-friendly netbook that is powered by solar energy. This netbook is pretty light too at only 700grams. So what if it looks like a toy. Being environmentally conscious is often not pretty.

The GYY runs on a 400MHz processor and a version of Linux. Some other specs include 128MB of RAM, a 64GB solid-state drive and an 8-inch WVGA display with an 800 x 480 resolution. You can get the iUnika GYY starting in June for about 160 euros.

If you are in the market for an Android-based netbook that looks like it belongs on a fire truck, you are in luck my odd friend. This is the first pic we’ve seen of Skytone’s Alpha 680 in the wild.

Looks like it has a nice large trackpad and comfortably sized keyboard. Of course the swiveling screen is cool. But that color. It’s hard to get past the brightness. Also, check out the D-pad controls on the screen. When it arrives it will run you around $250. Ouch, that is red.

Though it won’t be officially introduced until tomorrow, Lenovo will be announcing their IdeaPad S10-2 netbook. It’s a thinner form factor than the previous IdeaPad S10. The body also weighs less and it will be available in four different colors.

This netbook will feature a 1.6GHz Intel Atom processor, 160GB hard drive, 1GB of RAM, a six-cell battery and Windows XP. The battery will give you up to six hours and this new version will have a larger touchpad. Some other features include an extra USB port and the option of adding 3G.
