In case you felt the need to purchase a netbook with built in AT&T 3G (aka willing to pay at least $35 a month for 200MB or $60 for 5GB) it was recently made known that the Samsung Go has hit the service.

The Samsung Go for AT&T will run you $199 after mail-in rebate and a 2 year contract as detailed above. Sure, you’ll get a 10-inch screen, Intel Atom processor, 160GB of HDD space, 1GB of RAM and a net book weighing under 3 pounds but the fact that it’s powered by Windows 7 Starter makes it less than enticing.

Then again, you can also opt for the Acer Aspire One with the same specs for the same price, also with Windows 7 Starter.

Earlier today we notified you of the Vaio X’s existence but weren’t able to secure many pictures of the device seeing as it was announced so recently. Now, however, our friends over at Netbook News have gotten their hands on Sony’s device at this year’s IFA only to give us an in depth look at it.

As mentioned earlier, this device is extremely thin at just 14mm and is rumored to feature an Intel Atom processor making for an extremely long battery life.

No official word of a release date but it will reportedly ship next month coupled with Windows 7.

What you see above is the VAIO X ultraportable laptop computer which Sony has recently announced at this year’s IFA. As you can see, it’s extremely thin clocking in at just half an inch and also features an 11.1-inch display and a battery life that will supposedly last all day long.

In terms of hardware specs we still don’t know much other than that it features an Intel Atom processor thus grouping it into the netbook category.

We’ll keep you posted as this story unfolds.

Inkia International have revealed their latest 5-inch and 7-inch OEM MID models, each offering Intel Atom processors, 800 x 480 touchscreens and up to 32GB SSDs. The 5-inch model has a choice of Atom Z510, Z520 or Z530 processors, each with the US15W chipset, and measures 6.2 x 3.7 x 0.86 inches; weighing 12.3oz. The 7-inch version has a 1.6GHz Atom N270 processor with the 945GSE chipset, measures 8.0 x 5.1 x 0.81 inches and weighs 1.5lbs.

Each has integrated WiFi, 3G, Bluetooth and GPS, as well as a 0.3-megapixel webcam; the smaller adds a 3.2-megapixel camera, stereo speakers and a microSD card slot, while the larger instead has an SD/MMC card slot, 10/100 ethernet and two USB 2.0 ports. It is likely that Inkia are looking for other firms to acquire one or both of the MIDs and rebrand them, however we may never see either of these released in the US or Europe.
