That will be changing soon with the Pine Trail Atom processors that Intel will be shipping soon, but that’s not enough for Colombian manufacturer Haleron. Haleron set out to make a netbook that’s more useful to more »
Intel set to make faster Atom processors

Fujitsu Lifebook U2010 hits the FCC, now known as the U820
Remember the Fujitsu Lifebook U2010 that was spotted in Vietnam not so long ago? Well, you may not have to wait that long before it reaches the US market as the mini-tablet PC is already seeking the FCC approval. Interestingly, it is now bearing the name Lifebook U820.

Toshiba’s prototype UMPC probably won’t go into production
