Laptop Mag has a story and pictures of a new mininote with a 10 inch screen, their isd still no word on the internal specs. I really hope that they ship this with the Nano that we Have been hearing / reading so much about. It’s the same form factor but the screen takes up the entire bezel, I would guess that it’s the same resolution but that is just a guess.

Ubergadget reports;

Hewlett-Packard has recently placed orders for VIA Nano CPUs and VIA have already started shipping. It is not known whether HP will use the CPUs in it’s notebooks or netbook series. VIA has said that in addition to previous orders from Chinese companies , the company also has orders from a notebook manufacturer and the product will appear in the market by October this year. As for VIA’s C7-M processor used in HP’s 2133 Mini-Note PC, the total volume that HP has ordered is a little over 500,000, which shows that HP expects to ship at least half a million 2133 Mini-Note PCs by the end of this year.

Via has released the details of its successor to the Nanobook, called the Openbook.

It’s a reference design that will be re-badged and tweaked by manufacturers just like the Nanobook was (Belinea’s S.book 1 and Packard Bell’s Easynote XS used Via’s older design).

Powered by the VIA C7-M ULV processor and the VIA VX800 digital media IGP chipset, the VIA OpenBook mini-note reference design is a small, 1kg, 8.9″ mini-notebook form factor design that supports screen resolutions of up to 1024×600 and high performance VIA Chrome9â„¢

DirectXâ„¢ 9.0 3D graphics. Advanced video acceleration for MPEG-2, MPEG-4, WMV9, VC1 and DiVX video formats, a VMR capable HD video processor and 8-channel HD audio make it a highly media rich mini-notebook platform.

Bad news, Atom fans. That dual-core nugget of netbook-powering goodness that you were so looking forward to seeing in Q3 won’t begin shipping until Q4. According to some data picked up by Fudzilla, the Atom 330 will only be debuting in Q3 (September 21st, to be precise), but it isn’t scheduled to get a shipping label until a few months later. Also of note, we’re told that the chip will sell (at some place in the supply chain) for $43, but don’t count on those savings being completely passed onto you.

Well, the site is still under development and really needs to get indexed, seeing as the site is only 2 days old now, it’s not going get indexed too soon, I have put alot of effort into getting it indexed and it’s already been crawled by 5 different crawlers. So thats not bad for just 2 days.

As for the HP 2133 miniNote PC, The only place that might sell it is here (UK) and rumors indicate that you can add it to your basket but can’t buy it. It should be out this month in the US and in June in the UK.
