Acer has a 10-inch Aspire One netbook coming our way. The D150 will be available in three versions which will go on sale in February. The D150-0B is the entry-level model which will cost around $425 and will sport the usual 1.6GHz Intel Atom N270 CPU processor, 1GB of RAM, a 160GB HDD and a 3-cell battery.

The other two models, the D150-1B and the D150-2BG are coming in March and they will bring you a better Atom processor and integrated mobile broadband. The D150-1B will come with a 6-cell battery and it will cost $450. The D150-2BG will use Intel Atom’s 1.66GHz N280 processor and it will come with 3G quadband UMTS/HSDPA mobile broadband. A 6-cell battery is also present which will bring the total price to $575.

Bear in mind that these models are scheduled for a France release, but they will probably arrive in other markets too.

The beginning of the new year finds us talking about new netbooks. One of them is the 10.1 inch version of the Aspire One netbook. Acer might launch it as soon as this February. Besides the bigger screen and keyboard we should expect a card reader to replace the storage expansion slot, a single memory slot capable of taking up to 2GB instead of the two 1GB slots, Bluetooth and 3G support. Will we see it at CES? How much will it cost?

Netbooks strike again. Every computer maker is getting ready for 2009. Are they going to make them cheaper besides upgrading the components? During the quarterly earnings call, Asustek said it plans to drop the price of its Eee PCs in 2009.

We might see entry level Eee PCs to sell for as low as $200 which is remarkable. Asus sold 1.7 million Eee Pcs during the last quarter and they plan to ship another 1.8 million during the next quarter. Asus will cancel smaller netbooks too, in favor of the 10 inch versions.

A $200, 10 inch Eee PC… Is that possible in 2009?
