Ever since the netbook craze started, companies, Asus and Acer especially, have been pumping out new models at an alarming rate.

Well, it seems that the duo is finally taking a break as reports have emerged that the two companies will put a hold on any new netbook models until 2010. This delay is apparantly due to Intel waiting until early 2010 to debut their Pine Trail-M platform.

For now, Asus and Acer will reportedly focus on producing ultra-thin laptops for the rest of 2009.

Formally announced back in February as the TG01, Toshiba has recently announced that a rebranded version of the phone, the T-01A, has made its way to Japan today.

If you’re not familiar with this phone, it clocks in at a ridiculously small 9.9mm thick and features Qualcomm’s ridiculously fast (for a cellphone) 1GHz Snapdragon processor. Additionally, the TG01 T-01A features a 800 x 480 4.1-inch WVGA resistive touchscreen and support for HSDPA, GPS and WiFi. Software wise you’ll find the T-01A running Windows Mobile 6.1. What, were you expecting Android?

Let’s hope that Toshiba hurrys up and releases this phone worldwide.
