Acer Aspire One UMPC
Images and information have leaked for Acer's rumored answer to ASUS' Eee PC, according to various sources. The computer is allegedly named the "Aspire One," and features an 8.9-inch screen, with a native resolution of 1024x768. At the core is said to be an Atom/Diamondville processor, running Windows XP SP3; the trackpad is said to be similar to that on the HP 2133, which may not be a coincidence as the ODM company is believed to be Quanta, which services HP, Dell and Apple.
Release information is relatively specific, pointing to shipment within the next few weeks at a price of approximately €299 ($470). This is €100 less than ASUS' Eee PC 900. Regional availability is unclear, but Acer is known to ship many of its systems worldwide. [via UMPCPortal]
